That was the line before the series started. Anaheim is obviously a very heavy favourite. I'll give you 3-1. And it SHOULD be 2-1 based on your firm conviction that the rangers will play anaheim in the cup final.....

For me I don't understand how Brodeur shouldn't be the Hart trophy winner, I mean I know the stats and I Crosby/Luongo had KILLER years but for one of the best goalies ever to have a career year like this I think he's more than deserving. Sure his team plays a "defensive" style but he's still out there doing what he does best, and that is carry his team. If not Brodeur, Crosby would be the next for me, I just haven't seen anything out of Luongo that I didn't see in Florida (just a better team in front of him).Calder is easy Malkin takes that oneAdams should go to Ruff I think, and I really thought Ted Nolan was going to slip into the top 3, guess not.

Seriously don't get why Ruff gets so much love for Coach of the Year this season. His team proved that they were a force last year, until injuries decimated them. They returned, basically, the same team as last year. They performed to expectations. They are a solid team up and down. There was no surprises there.The Canucks/Penguins both performed well above expectations. Particularly the Penguins. Tons of potential that was coached up, one of the biggest turnarounds ever in the NHL. This is a team that had all of 3-4 players that could be considered veteran leaders--Recchi, Gonchar, Thibault, and Roberts--yet, they were consistently excellent after January 1st. Therrien should run away with this award. Period.

Why weren't other trophy nominations like the Norris included in this poll?
There's a few answers this...1) You can only do 3 questions per thread.2) There's no Penguins up for any other trophy.3) I didn't feel like making another thread with a poll yesterday...but I think I will now.

One thing for certain: they handed the Hart to Crosby on a silver platter by nominating him with Luongo and Brodeur. There are A) quite a few of the voters who wont vote fpr a goalie for MVP, and B ) by nominating two goalies, who are very close in status, that vote will split again. Therefore, Crosby will win this in a landslide. DISCLAIMER TO ALL PENS FANS: The preceding statement is NOT insinuating that Crosby should not win it, or does not deserve it. I am merely expressing a factor that will affect the outcome of the voting.....

This proves my further theory of the agenda that the NHL has to promote and push the Penguins on the masses...They will do everything to ensure that Crosby is to be touted as the next Wayne Gretzky...In reality Crosby is a very good player , however he is not in that class yet....Staal nominated for the Rookie of the year ahead of Anze Kopitar is just stupid...

Wait a second here, I'm pretty sure that the NHL doesn't "nominate" the players that can win the award. Taken from the nhl.com press release :
Voting for all awards concluded with the regular season. The Professional Hockey Writers' Association conducts balloting for the Hart, Norris, Selke, Calder and Lady Byng.
From my understanding, the writers get to vote for whomever they chose, and then the finalists that were announced on Monday are simply the top 3 vote-getters. So your argument gruven doesn't make sense to me, since obviously the voters did vote somewhat massively for Luongo and Brodeur, as they did end up in the top 3 vote-getters.

staal did play the PK for the pens, and led the league in short handed goals if i'm not mistaken. he is still only 18 too. i actually like kopitar more too, but you gotta give staal a little consideration for his +16 too which was easily the best amongst the top rookies, radulov had +19 but didnt play enough to be considered i think.

Yes, you're absolutely right. What I meant was simply that the way the nominations shook out, the award is already Crosby's. It was serge who started chirping about conspiracy theories and the NHL. Writers vote for the awards (Except for the Pearson Award).
