Who votes for which NHL Award?

Lots of people are asking who votes for which NHL Award. Here's the answer (via Pierre LeBrun):

* Hart -- Professional Hockey Writers' Association
* Jack Adams -- NHL Broadcasters' Association
* Vezina -- 30 NHL GMs
* Norris -- PHWA
* Calder -- PHWA
* Selke -- PHWA
* Lady Byng -- PHWA
* Calder -- PHWA
* GM of The Year -- Panel of 30 GMs plus media

Edit: A few more, courtesy of wikipedia, and due to the badgering of PensAreYourDaddy ...

* Masterton -- PHWA
* Ted Lindsay -- NHLPA
* Clancy -- PHWA & Broadcasters
* NHL Foundation -- NHL Execs
* Mark Messier Leadership -- Messier
* Conn Smythe -- PHWA

And then, of course, there are the stats-based awards:

* Art Ross (most points)
* Jennings (fewest goals against)
* Plus/Minus (highest plus/minus)
* Rocket Richard (most goals)
* Crozier (highest save percentage)

I did! I was hearing Bob Errey talk about Sedin, but there’s no way. Perry is lights out this year! And Kesler does EVERYTHING. Sedin is excellent, but not as well-rounded as the other two.

Visnovsky?!?

No way! LOL!!

I think it shoud be either Lidstrom, Tanger, Yandle or maybe Weber…

Lidstrom has a +/- of ZERO

Sorry, he plays on the Red Wings who is a really good team, you can’t win the Norris with an even +/- on a really good team.

Tanger has fallen off quite a bit since Sid got hurt, but should still be in the top 3-5, so I’d go with Yandle… unfortunately for him, he plays in Phoenix though.

There's an 87% chance this post is sarcasm...

zactly, Stos. Lids can get + on an elite team like DET = no way.
also agree on Letang. maybe next year.

Yandle is a good choice. He’s +11.
My boy Visnovsky is +15.

Not that plus-minus is the be-all, end-all, but its significant.

What about the Lindsay? NHLPA?

by PensAreYourDaddy on Mar 29, 2011 9:06 AM EDT reply actions

Fine, fine. I’ve edited the post to be more complete. This whole fanshot thing isn’t supposed to be any work, though, is it? Geez!

Now if you’ll do me a favour and find the hidden gem of a “tag” that I used with this fanshot, we’ll call it even. :)

i might be an idiot.

Cooke for Byng?

by PensAreYourDaddy on Mar 29, 2011 1:04 PM EDT up reply actions 3 recs

That’s what I’m thinking. The campaign has had a slow start, but I have this feeling it will pick up speed over the next few games, what with his time off for good behaviour n’at.

i might be an idiot.

Pensburgh should sell shirts that say that

My Votes!

Hart — Corey Perry
Jack Adams — Dan Bylsma (Hands down!)
Vezina — Tim Thomas
Norris — Kris Letang
Calder — Logan Couture (narrowly beating Grabner and Skinner)
Selke — Ryan Kesler (with a nod to Toews)
Lady Byng — Marty St. Louis
GM of The Year — Homer vote, but I give it to Shero, for masterfully using callups and some great deadline moves.

Mark Messier Leadership — Jonathan Toews

Ted Lindsay — Another homer vote, but I give it to SID CROSBY! He missed way too many games to be considered for the Hart, but there is no doubt that even with the limited games, he WAS the ‘Most Outstanding Player’ this year!

by LastSonOfKrypton on Mar 29, 2011 11:56 AM EDT reply actions

i like all your picks.
Letang is my favorite player. i hoped he’d win it this year, but his production has fallen off a cliff over the past two months.
