One of these choices I'm puzzled about... I seem to recall one of these three assaulting a cab driver over ten cents... Hmmm...

:lol:

This is nuts. There must be some very greasy activity behind the scenes for Kane to get nominated.

Well it's a trophy for the least amount of penalty minutes basically and how much of a pussy you are on the ice.

It's a trophy that exemplifies class, and Kane is about classless as you can get.

Off-the-ice. The award is all about on-the-ice, and according to the league's metric (Points - Penalty minutes), Kane is a shoe-in.

How many players on the ice are dicks? I can choose players who aren't. Zetterberg, Datsyuk, Pomminville, HELL, Toews, his linemate... To choose Kane, who off the ice is a dick, he deserves jack shit in that category.

Right, I'm just saying that the award has zero to do with a player's off-ice demeanor.

Well it's like the Hart trophy is never given out to it's true meaning either.

The Hart Trophy description should be as follows:

"The Hart Trophy is awarded to the player judged to be most valuable to his team during the last month of the season. All other parts of the season are irrelevant and will be completely discounted."

But it should come into effect since you essentially have a tie breaker with on ice demeanor.

I understand where you're all coming from, but the league metric for who wins the Lady Byng seems to be:

Points - Penalty Minutes = Lady Byng Score.

Whoever has the highest score based off that metric wins. It's possibly one of the dumbest awards the NHL has next to GM of the Year.

We all know Brian Burke should win GM of the Year. Because without him the Leafs still suck, even though he was fired this year.

Give it to Matt Carle. 4 pims this year. Doesn't matter what the league template for deciding the award is... Pick someone other than Kane.

It's still a dumb award. "Which team performed the best based on how it was put together on paper and then meshed together well enough on the ice to make that guy look good?"
