I knew they weren't going to be as bad as last year. Markov is a fantastic defenseman and he's good enough to turn a whole team around. Subban will likely get the Norris, but Markov is the unheralded hero.

Fuck this teams power play.
Just nuke it from space at this point

He doesn't deserve to win it, but I think Markov should be a nominee for the Hart, he's been one of the biggest reasons for the turn around this year, especially with PK sitting out to start the season.
I doubt Subban gets it. Don't shoot the messenger though.
17th in the league isn't that bad.... -looks at Canucks-

Our PP is like a European basketball team.
pass,pass,pass,pass,pass,pass,pass,pass,pass,pass,pass,MISS
pass,pass,pass,pass,pass,pass,pass,pass,pass,pass,pass,MISS
Our PP is basically Karlsson doing his thing, which only he can do.
Actually, that sounds exactly like our powerplay. Welcome to the club. Drop like 10 places in league PP standings, then we'll talk.
Hart? No. Masterson? Absolutely. Would be sick to see the Habs franchise win that award 2 straight seasons.
I think he still he is too hated to win it this year.

May not, but...
He leads D in goals, has a good +/-,, leads in points, and has only played 33 games. The other who comes close would be Letang, and I wonder how much it had to do with him playing with Crosby.
This is why it's so nice to have Kesler (someone who actually likes to shoot) back.

Not playing the league's worst defensive team?
Awesome. Fuck soccer. FUCK it.

We need to sarcastically bitch more about our PP, maybe that's the secret.
Not even talking about the goals, though they are a refreshing change of pace, but the effort. They don't even look terrified every time they handle the puck in their own end!
The only player who deserves it over Subban is Suter.
Good shit Islanders, time to reclaim the rightful position as top of the NE.
Really hope the Jets make it, crowd would be insane.
The playoff race in the East is getting tight.

I think his decision to sit out as an RFA, and the 'glut' of defencemen with similar stats, means that he'll miss out this year.
If he had, in relative terms, the same kind of lead in points Karlsson did last season, his decision to sit out wouldn't be a factor.
nom nom nom so tasty!

I read somewhere that Subban only plays something like 16 even strength minutes.
Past Norris winners have played around 25 tough minutes, only recent exception is Lidstrom in his last win.
So he probably will not win it, regardless what people think of him.

When does our collective reaction to the Jets' successes go from "aw, so cute that Winnipeg has a team again" and back to "fuck those idiots I hope they're moved to Phoenix"?
Congrats on your first round victory.

I can see Letang taking it if the Pens manage to make it deep. He's pretty universally liked among media types.
You'll get yours in the Eastern Conference Final.
never.
Once they get moved to the West and we face them more often and start losing to them. So... not anytime soon?
Playoffs have no bearing on the awards, aside from the Conn Smythe. Every other award is won based on the regular season.
Sorry bro, but we have the Power of Greyskull, er, Michael Ryder back on our side. That is mojo you can't fuck with.
I have bigger plans but a comfortable first round matchup is an important piece of the larger puzzle.
Shots fired etc...

Are they not voted for at the same time?
I always assumed that players who had a good playoff run would benefit from being fresher in the voters minds.
Either way I think Letang takes it.

Good thing they're going to the West. Also helps that I don't know any Jets fans personally.

Christ Stamkos, what a fucking awful turnover.
I can't argue with that.
Fuck I can't wait to see this again, but this time with the jerseys flipped.
