My money is on Erik Karlsson in Ottawa. Uhm, or wait... Henrik Lundquist has never received it yet?!
Henrik Lundquist it must be then.

Ok, Ohdee's winners in red... take it to the bank people! Go to Vegas and bet the farm... it's a lock!

There ya have it!

Gutsy pick for Vezina, Ohds. Not too many PST goaltenders get recognition, let alone beating out the star of the New York Rangers who is also a Hart Trophy finalist.. I can't think of too many times the sole goaltender in Hart Trophy running did not win the Vezina..

Zip it dbr... I said TAKE IT TO THE BANK!

At least I'll get good return on my farm..

Hart nominees: Lundquist, Malkin, Stamkos
The Rangers only looked as good as they were because Lundqvist was as good as he was.

Lindsay nominees: Lundquist, Malkin, Stamkos
The guy just scored 60 goals. Players are gonna vote for him.

Norris nominees: Chara, Karlsson, Weber
Weber is a stud all over the ice, Nashville leans on him for both defense and offense.

Vezina nominees: Lundquist, Quick, Rinne
No way it can go to anyone else, look at his numbers and the number of one goal games he played in.

Selke nominees: Backes, Bergeron, Datsyuk
Datsyuk is in a league of his own when it comes to this award. The only reason Kesler won it last year was because Pavel was hurt and missed a chuck of games.

Calder nominees: Henrique, Landeskog, Nugent-Hopkins
The guy plays in every situation and was a big reason the Avalanche even came close to the playoffs this year.

Adams nominees: Hitchcock, MacLean, Tortorella
Gotta be Hitch. St. Louis was headed to the basement again until he took over almost halfway through the year, then they came within 2 points of the President's Trophy.

Conn Smythe: If LA wins it'll be Quick or Brown. If Jersey wins it'll be more of a toss up.....Kovalchuk is putting up the points, Henrique is scoring big goals and has two series winners in OT, and Brodeur might just get it as a nodd to one of the greats who goes out after winning yet another Cup (the NHL needs some historic story moments right now).
