I would rank them Karlsson, Hedman, Burns in that order but it's really just splitting hairs. All three would be deserving winners, IMO.

I was just listening to Lucky Pierre on the cesspool who reminded me that Karlsson and Hedman were a defense pairing on Team Sweden at the 2009 World Junior tourney in Ottawa.

Burns, Karlsson and Hedman nominated for the Norris.

I still think Doughty takes this one. He's got Cups and intangibles out the ying yang. I know he doesn't play as well as those other guys, or even really close, but he's a guy you win with. It's Doughty for me.

Werenski has no chance at winning it, nor should he. But I am very pleased with the nod. Kid had a stunning season. Such a difference maker.


wait...

So does the selection committee just go to TSN.CA, select stats / defensemen and sort on points? Take the top three names?

No.. Sometimes they take the guy with ALLLLL the intangibles. The best EVAR Drew Doughty.

Karlsson Burns Hedman would be my Norris voting. For the Selke it would be Kesler Koivu Bergeron. For the Calder Matthews Laine Werenski.

Ottawa gets their 2nd chance at knocking out Boston tomorrow in Boston. I didn't expect Boston to roll over so lightly but figure Ottawa gets the series win.

If he has any character, he'll go back to New Jersey and try to make things right.

Vegas isn't listed therefore the list is rubbish.

Kovy's not coming back to the NHL to play for the hapless Devils I can tell you that.

Round 2 playoff prediction time:

Penguins over Capitals
Senators over Rangers
Blues over Predators
Ducks over Oilers

Masterton trophy finalists are Craig Anderson, Andrew Cogliano, and Derek Ryan.

If Craig Anderson doesn't win this award, I'll eat quoi's hat.
