This should be considered as an activity check!

Just remember Nash would have won the points race had he not gotten hurt.

Armstrong 187 takeways
Stortini 192 takeaways
Nash 162 takeaways

Stortini 63 Giveaways
Nash 34 Giveaways
Armstrong 86 Giveaways

But, I'll give it to you that Pominville and Turris should have gotten more consideration for the Lady Byng!

+/- ratio is also important imo.

Bruins would like to note that they organizationally voted for Ranger coach John Tortorella over Bruin Dave Lewis for the Adams' and that Tuukka Rask had just as good of a rookie campaign as King Jonathan Bernier.

Miikko Koivu MVP.

I had forgotten the Vezina Trophy!

Extremely sorry. For those that absolutely want to vote, send me a PM saying ''Vezina''. It will save me some time.

Vezina Trophy (Annual award given to the goalie that best excels in his position)

1. Martin Brodeur, Tampa Bay Lightning (75 GP, 47 Wins, 91.1 Sv%, 5 SO, 2.07 GAA)
2. Henrik Lundqvist, New York Rangers (81 GP, 52 Wins, 90.1 Sv%, 7 SO, 2.26 GAA)
3. Tuukka Rask, Boston Bruins (73 GP, 47 Wins, 89.4 Sv%, 3 SO, 2.51 GAA)

No results yet? Does that mean there's still time to vote? Stupid vacation, been missing everything.

Send! I'm waiting for Adam to configure the forums so that I can make some sort of Award lounge with all the trophies.

So who ended up winning the 2010 Norris/Lady Byng?

Shea Weber, with 12/18 votes! I was supposed to finish the Awards section a long time ago. I completely forgot!

I'll get on that tomorrow.

LOLL !!
