In other words they polled... Quebec?

[vilzeh]

horrible

[Canada 02]

they polled 12 Eastern conference coaches and 13 Western conference coaches

[EldrickOnIce]

Excellent choices. Can't argue with one. Can't even really think of one to add?

Oates

[Canada 02]

the only one I would argue with is Carey Price; Lundquist is the best goalie in the league

all of the other selections look solid

My picks.

Hart: Crosby (I would be okay with Ovechkin or Stamkos though depending on who wins the Rocket)
Calder: Brodin (it will be Huberdeau though)
Vezina: Bobrovsky, not even close
Norris: Suter
Selke: Toews (would be Bergeron if not for the injury)
Jack Adams: Joel Quenneville (would be okay with Therrien)

The 3 choices are worth, all Canadian team coached btw.

MacLean Sens have been ravaged by injuries to their best players, and they are still in the playoff hunt

Carlyle, like Therrien, took a non-playoff team to what is likely their first playoff birth in about a decade

[Komskies]

How about Jake Muzzin in LA for the Calder? He's had an incredible season, but probably isn't exciting enough to pick

[neo45]

I used to think Therrien was a terrible coach, but he totally deserves it this year. Quenville could take it too

You'd think I was a Habs fan with this guess.

[YYC in LAX]

Kills me to think that Subban is probably going to win the Norris.

[automaton 3]

MacLean has to get some consideration....Spezza, Anderson, Michalek and Karlsson all out yet they stayed in contention.

[jeffman]

Hart: Ovechkin
Calder: Brodin
Vezina: Rask
Norris: Subban
Selke: Toews
Jack Adams: Maclean

[moon]

Ovechkin has 10 less points playing in 6 more games, his team has 14 less points playing in perhaps the worst division in NHL history, he is still brutal defensively, still selfish and yet he is the MVP over Crosby?

If any writer/Gm/Coach (whoever votes for these awards at end of the season) votes for Ovechkin over Crosby for MVP they should be fired from their position and banned from hockey for at least 5 years.

Washington is struggling for a play-off spot if not for being in the pathetic SE. There are many more deserving players than AO. Just because he has started scoring goals again he isn't close to the MVP.

[jeffman]

I think that Ovie is more valuable to his team than crosby is to pens or toews to black hawks. Take sid out of penguins and you still have malkin,iggy,neal, morrow. Take Toews out of chicago you get hossa, kane sharp, saad. If you take away all of ovechkins recent production they are competing with us for the 1st overall
