Take 5 sips any/every time Someone brings up the fact that Gary Bettman didn't get booed in L.A. as proof that no one there is a "true" hockey fan — ZING!

I suppose the only way Malkin doesn't leave the desert with the Hart is if Coots is in the building?

 

[esls79]

Maybe I'm getting too old for this, but when I drink, I sure as hell don't sip.

By the way, I heard the committee was going to retroactively stip Rod Brindamour of his Selke in 2007-08 and award it to Samuel Pahlsson.

What trip is Matthew Perry going on? I see his bags are packed under his eyes...

Stay away from drugs kids.

Karlsson edged Weber by a 1,069 to 1,057 vote count the second straight year Weber has lost by the slimmest of margins

 

[KennyBanyeah]

Claude Giroux would pick Stamkos for the Hart (that Penguin hatred runs deep it seems).

His pick for the Norris was Karlsson, although he said Chara was probably the most difficult to play with.

 

[mattola]

i still think Karlsson should have been nominated for the HART

 

[KennyBanyeah]

If I was a one man committee my picks would likely be:

Hart - Malkin
Vezina - Quick
Norris - Weber (by the tightest of margins over Karlsson)
Selke - Bergeron
Calder - Landeskog
Adams - Maclean
Lindsay - Stamkos

I agree somewhat. The only thing holding him back is how many worthy candidates there are out there, as well as how rarely it is that D-Men are nominated for the Hart.

Without Karlsson the Sens don't even sniff the playoffs last year though.

Obviously I'm hoping Lundy wins it but I won't have a problem if Quick gets it.

you could easily take the goalie out of the HART

M. Perry did look pretty bad and while up there it seemed like he was talking to himself. The crowd didn't get his jokes and he looked a bit awkward.

His opening line to Quick about the 7 second delay was pretty funny but then again I am biased.

 

[KennyBanyeah]

I think it's pretty close to a toss up between those two. Lundvist will probably win it and he's certainly worthy.

 

[mattola]

malkin with the ted lindsey which technically is better than the hart (as voted by players) but not as glorious for some reason. he may get the hart as well. good day for him

great season

HITCHCOCK WINS JACK ADAMS

 

[filosofy29]

I think it's pretty close to a toss up between those two. Lundvist will probably win it and he's certainly worthy.

If they really do vote before the playoffs start, I think Lundy will get it (though like you all have said, Quick is more than worthy).

 

[pixburgher66]

I'd give the edge to Quick because their numbers are identical...but one's offense rarely showed up. That is until April.
