If you use N.Lidstrom as a Norris example, no way in hell are QH or EK in the running, point totals have to be looked at along with the actual Defensive impact the player has shown throughout the season. A player like Heiskanen is a more valuable and impactful defenseman then EK or QH, imo

Good post, Tiny.

I don't think he is the best but for that style of play you are getting a good bang for your buck. He is a lot cheaper than the other high end scoring Dmen. Now bring in a big strong stay at home solid defender. They also need someone that can fire bullets from the point (Salo like)

Hoping that D Petey is the big strong stay home guy.

Some have said that Hampus Lindholm has been the best all around defensemen this season. Hard to argue the season he has had but he isn't exactly alone on that defence. Boston has had a spectacular season as a whole.

Should Lindholm's season be diminished because of the team he plays on?

Bieska said it shouldn't be Karlsson's, he said it should be a defender that plays on the PK, play on the PP, plays 5v5 tough match ups. Scores, defends, transitions.

Well you should care. Three Metal anniversarys today:

British Steel - Judas Priest
Iron Maiden - ST
Turbo Lover - Judas Priest

Might wanna get ready for some red wine posts tonight...

Enjoy bud. Not my style at all. I am going to sit down and listen to Nickelback and enjoy a Palm Bay even though I don't drink.

On the serious side I think individual awards are nice for the player but give me a well rounded team that is going for the cup any day.

The #Canucks are not in the mix for Aktell.

That sucks. I thought he could add something as a 6 LHS to Canuck’s roster.

I'll be very surprised if Karlsson doesn't win it.

Sounds like Quinn Hughes to me

Same argument about the team around him even applies.

Has had a good season but not a top 3 for me.

Bruce on the Marek show talking about how Luke Schenn stood up for him against management

I guess that quashes the rumours that Luke will be coming back in the summer and we know the comments he made when he got to Toronto meant for sure.

Schenn sounds pretty entitled.

Boudreau on Schenn: He would go upstairs and talk to management and say...

"Hey listen, what are doing? Bruce is doing a great job."

lol all good brother to each their own.

And agree a well balanced club moving towards a cup is the goal. But we will all slightly disagree on how to 'balance' the club moving forward.

One has to wonder what the Las Vegas odds were for the Caps and Pens to NOT make the PO's this year. Had to be YUGE at the beginning of the season for those bets...

We like to wait until we are well set for a top draft pick and then part ways so we can limp out of the bottom 10. Some traditions are just so Canuck.

I have learnt we are all wrong but it is fun so who cares.

If you ever needed a reason to like JT, go read IMac's latest, just a great guy, dealing with media crap, this is what we need on the Canucks, glad we have him and not Horvat

How you view the team versus how management does.

Are we in for the new version of hatred from Vantel similar to the 5 letter Swedes but instead about management?
