NHL AWARDS NOMINEES
NHL.com
(My picks in italics)
HART TROPHY (MVP)
Martin Brodeur, New Jersey
Jarome Iginla, Calgary
Martin St. Louis, Tampa Bay (Leading scorer on the East's #1 regular season team)
VEZINA TROPHY (Best Goaltender)
Martin Brodeur, New Jersey
Miikka Kiprusoff, Calgary (He only played in 38 games, but he had a 1.70 GAA. That has to count for something.)
Roberto Luongo, Florida
NORRIS TROPHY (Best Defenseman)
Zdeno Chara, Ottawa
Scott Niedermayer, New Jersey (He stepped it up when Scott Stevens was hurt)
Chris Pronger, St. Louis
SELKE TROPHY (Best Defensive Forward)
Kris Draper, Detroit
John Madden, New Jersey
Alyn McCauley, San Jose (Plus-23 when he was in the lineup)
CALDER TROPHY (Best Rookie)
Trent Hunter, New York Islanders
Andrew Raycroft, Boston (2.05 GAA and solidified Boston's goaltender situation early on)
Michael Ryder, Montreal
LADY BYNG TROPHY (Sportsmanship and Gentlemanly Conduct)
Daniel Alfredsson, Ottawa (Key cog of the Senators)
Brad Richards, Tampa Bay
Martin St. Louis, Tampa Bay
JACK ADAMS AWARD (Best Coach)
Darryl Sutter, Calgary (There shouldn't be any doubt about this, even though Tortorella got the Lightning to finish first in the East)
John Tortorella, Tampa Bay
Ron Wilson, San Jose
The NHL Awards special will be televised on June 10. Ron McLean will be the host once again, I think.
