I think whoever gets the most votes will probably win.

Electoral vote or.popular vote?

Who wins the Calder?
- senstroll

The correct Answer is Matthews

He is (frank)ing awesome

Matthews. Especially if the Leafs make the playoffs.
- Cape Breton Bruins

I think there will definitely be a group of voters who, if it's close, will avoid picking a Leafs player, because they don't want to look biased towards Toronto.

I think Matthews needs to get a higher points% to beat Laine.

I think whoever has more goals will win. Goals trump points I think.....they certainly did when OV beat out the golden boy for the Calder.

when the Games got tough Matthews has 4 goals 3 assists in the past 6 games.. Laine has 1 goal in his last 6

I think its clear who rises and who falls under the pressure.

How many "finalists" are there, prior to awards night, three?

Also depends if Laine wins his 3rd rookie of the month award for March

I honestly don't know.

The whole idea of "finalists" for these awards is dumb.

Yeah, it's three Finalists, and yes it's silly, but it's comes down to "marketing" and the lame awards show .......... trying to keep some people guessing I guess.

Back in 2015 the three finalists were

Ekblad 1,147
Mark Stone 1,078
Johnny Gaudreau1,026



here's one publications top ten Calder candidates......... but they're missing Matt Murray???
http://thehockeywriters.c...y-candidates-for-2016-17/

If my understanding of Swedish is correct, I looks like Sens prospect Marcus Högberg is headed to North America next year ........ Sens training camp, and then directly to Bellville.

Och idag blev det också klart att Marcus Högberg lämnar LHC. Han meddelar att han har skrivit på ett kontrakt med en ny klubb och med tanke på de internationella regler som gäller så innebär det att han kan lämna LHC trots ett år kvar på kontraktet.

why is it baseless..............between scoring and defence what is more likely to be streaky?

Ottawa has a lot of good offensive players on their team who are very capable of putting up points but who've been a little streaky this year. their power play has also been bad (which is a system thing IMO) so if they figure that out the GF will increase quite a bit. there is also luck involved in offence, they mentioned during the broadcast last night that Hoffman is 1st in hit posts this year and dzingel was 3rd or 4th.......a few millimetres the other way and Ottawa probably has 7-8 more goals.

the leafs have a lot of high octane offensive guys who are just flat out lost in the defensive zone.....it's not streakiness or luck it's an inability to play defence.
- sensarmy_11

not really. mostly other teams retreads. their roster of forwards is among the least talented in the league.

you're as close to being on the outside of the playoff picture as you are of catching Ottawa.........and have probably the hardest remaining schedule of any team fighting for a playoff spot.

I'd hold off on counting those chickens if I were you......they haven't hatched just yet.

I can't speak for other sens fans, but playing the leafs in the first round, regardless of who finishes where, doesn't make me nervous at all. of all the potential 1st round matchups the leafs are probably the easiest.

if you gave me the option of playing montreal, boston, new York, or Toronto in the 1st round I'm taking the leafs EVERY TIME. you need good goaltending and good defence to win in the playoffs, and the leafs have neither.
- sensarmy_11

there are a lot of fans of a lot teams thinking if they've got the choice between the rangers, Habs, Boston, and even the Leafs, they would rather face the senaturds.

including us. dying for this matchup. it really is a lose lose situation for you chumps.

Even if they win?

dis gon get gud

so i'm assuming the sens won since they aren't just backing up into a playoff spot right?

also i assume all their key players are healthy and expected to contribute down the stretch right?
