Hurlshort Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I'm surprised he's even in the running to be honest Yep, this year it's clearly a two horse race. Brodeur has the slightly better stats, but Nabokov has more wins. Granted, he played more games, but I'm not sure if that's a plus or minus. But I'm biased toward my hometown goalie, so I really can't say who deserves it fairly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deraldin Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Brodeur says that Nabokov deserves it. Does that help any? Also, Lundqvist had 10 shutouts this year. It's not like he didn't do anything to deserve the nomination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkreku Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I thought this was a dead sure award for Nabokov this year..? Did I misunderstand something? Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volourn Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Plus, without Lundqvist the last 3 seasons, the Rangers would have missed the playoffs 10 straight seasons. He's a worthy candidate for sure.

Deraldin Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Woo! Montreal advances to the second round based on a 5-0 shutout! Woo! Also, Ovechkin scores two to get the Caps to a 7th game. Woo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurlshort Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Lundqvist had a great season, and I definitely don't discount his ten shutouts. I just think it's probably going to come down to the two goalies who managed to gain 40 wins. I also think the Rangers are an extremely strong defensive team. They kept the shots down all season, but so did the Sharks and the Devils. I suppose it could be any one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astr0creep Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 (edited) I'm hoping for a Montreal vs. Calgary final! Preferably with a seventh game in Calgary because when the habs win the cup we'll have one heck of a riot on our hands here...

Kor Qel Droma Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 One thing that rubs me the wrong way is home teams that boo the opposing countries national anthem. Like Montreal does a lot. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agree. Especially since in Montreal they don't boo the Canadian anthem... http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlshort Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 One thing that rubs me the wrong way is home teams that boo the opposing countries national anthem. Like Montreal does a lot. Yeah, I was pretty embarrassed that San Jose did that to Edmonton a couple years ago. Of course, those folks were pretty much called out in the newspaper (at least the section that booed was) and I haven't heard anything disrespectful since. Their was also a bit of confusion, because they had put Chris Pronger up on the jumbotron during the Canadian anthem and I think people were more booing him.

Volourn Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Nominees for the Norris were released today, and it should be - once again - Niklas Lidstrom winning it. The numbers in this case simply don't lie. 70 points, +40, on the top team, and on the best defensive team as well. Slam dunk despite the good years both Phaneuf and Chara had.

Kor Qel Droma Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 So this years' winner of the Norris Trophy is Nik Lidstrom, again The NHL released the finalists for the Norris today, and it looks like Lidstrom will again get the nod against Chara and Celine Dion Phaneuf. I'd swap out Phaneuf for Gonchar, personally. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkreku Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Great. Two of my predictions fell in the last game of the first round. I'm too pissed to count right now but I'm assuming I got like.. 2/8 or something right. Too bad about the Caps. Now I'm not really interested in any other team.
