The Brahma Bull Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Is there seriously no awards ceremony this year? What weird timing. PK's a beast. I wish the Sedins would get as fired up as him during the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwijibo Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Congrats to PK. I hated on him a bit when he was throwing a fit about his contract, but he can flat out play. The only problem I have with the Norris Trophy is that it has recently become an award for the best offensive defensemen, and not an award for purely the best overall defensemen as shown by Karlson winning last year and this year the 3 nominees were the 3 highest scoring defensemen.

TOMapleLaughs Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Hehe. Technically, being heavily overrated helps very much when it comes to getting season awards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xbox Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Subban plays a great 2 way game. If there were offensive awards, it would always be karlsson or Letang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
250Integra Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Or not. The Norris trophy is flawed, imho. Constantly given to guys like Karlsson and Subban when guys like Chara are by far the better defensemen. There should be two seperate awards for defensemen. One for offense, the other for defense. Don't get me wrong, Subban is good. But not that good. True defensive greats typically don't let puff teams like Ottawa trounce them in the playoffs.

Peaches Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Thought Suter would win it. Congrats PK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFCanuck Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 Yes. But he wouldn't have done that against the listless Ottawa squad that scored 20 goals in 5 games against Subban's Habs. I'm being argumentative here of course, and it's not all Subban's fault, but where was 'Mr. Norris' when they were being blown out 6-1 twice? If it's strictly about defense, give me Suter or Pietrangelo this season over Subban anyday. imho Subban won the Norris over those two because of his puff points against weak eastern conference teams. Hell, Pietrangelo wasn't even nominated. We need two awards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Vintage Canuck- Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Huh? I know they aren't doing the usual awards night this year, but I didn't think they would be releasing the winners names early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
