jono2009 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Boo to the first and second candidates. My vote goes to the Magic Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HC20.0 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 All good choices for the award. I'm thinking Hudler this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejazz97 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Two former Wings A Wing, a former Wing, all Stanley Cup Champs and all Eurasians. Cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HC20.0 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Two former Wings and all Eurasians. Cool. Datsyuk is still with the team. Kopitar never played for Detroit. So only 1 former Wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Vanderhoek Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Kopitar has been a player well deserving for some time, perhaps he finally gets noticed more so this year. Hudler is a nice acknowledgment but bottom of my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheXFactor Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Never did quite understand how they decide who gets this trophy.... nicest guy wins? How do you even pick that? Guess its more important then the Hart and Vezina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same people every year it seems. Is no one else sportsmanlike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Mind Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 You mean Pat Kane wasn't nominated this year? That's actually surprising (and also why it's hard to put much stock into the lady byng anymore). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westcoasting Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Kind of a bizarre award this one.... lets go through the top points players and pick out the guys with fewest penalty minutes... umm yeah but this is hockey and if someone has 10 mins of penaltys through the season and another has 20... what the hell is the difference! 10 pms is nothing. Something for the writers to vote on and feel important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyBoy44 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 4 minor penalties and over a point per game is totally Lady Byng material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 You mean Pat Kane wasn't nominated this year? That's actually surprising (and also why it's hard to put much stock into the lady byng anymore). Kane had 10 PIM in 61 games Datsyuk had 8 PIM in more games and Hudler had 14 in 78 games and Kopitar has 10 PIM in 79 games. Kane is a good candidate, but I wouldn't say it's insane to put him at 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 How have neither Sedin ever been nominated for this award in their long and gentlemanly careers? Probably because it's more based off PIMs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane is a good candidate, but I wouldn't say it's insane to put him at 4th. I'm not a fan of how they determine the finalists. They put so much stock in how many PIMS and points a player gets, so naturally defencemen would have a tough time getting a nom, and not to mention goalies too. Just not a great system IMO.

Master Mind Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 what, no ferlund? Saving him for the Hart would be my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lady Byng needs an overhaul in the voting system. It's a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
