Hart- Lundqvist. Hes been ridiculous this year. Hes been a solid goaltender and will win the Vezina to.
Norris- Hard to say no one has really stood out this year. I am in the same boat as bonnev659 haven't seen enough west coast teams to pick a Norris winner.
Adams- Love the job the coaches are doing in Florida and Ottawa. Dineen and McLean. Fun fact. in 2007-2008 the year Bergeron missed 72 games due to a concussion and had the most games lost due to injuries from players. The Bruins were expected to finish somewhere near the bottom of the East and they made the playoffs. Julien got no credit and didn't even get nominated. I lost a little faith in how people vote for this award after that. I am glad they are starting to notice coaches who don't have a lot and can still be competitive in the league.
Calder- Going to come down to the wire with RNH and Henrique.
Vezina- Lundqvist. Has played outstanding this year. They finally have a team in front of him and it is showing.
Biggest disappointment- Ducks and Sabres. So much talent on both teams. The Ducks were a better team it seemed when they had Emery as there goalie last year when Hiller went down with is injury. Is Hiller the problem in Anaheim? I don't know where to start in Buffalo. Very disappointed in them.
Biggest surprise- Panthers, Senators and I have to keep the Wild in there to. All teams have played above and beyond expectations and I hope they all keep playing well. Wild have come back down to earth a little bit, but there were the best team in the NHL for a little while.
