No, you covered it.
I thought he was the best dman in the league last year long before the Norris was awarded. The voters happened to agree with me.
If you are going to argue that the voters are idiots and shouldn't be taken seriously that's fine... doesn't change the fact that I felt he was the best dman in the league last year. You also cannot ever point to any award as proof of a players' performance again.

We don't use the metric system in the States boy... we vote for black people, it's the in thing.
Go Subban! Norris!

Their metrics don't show one aspect of the game... showmanship. It is entertainment after all. People love watching Subban because they either love the guy or hate his guts. It's awesome.

I really don't care about him working out outside. I was just giving him shit for the sake of it there. But to be clear, I don't think it was a photoshoot. I think it was a "candid" moment.
And again, Subban wasn't even the best offensive defenseman last season. PP or not. Letang had a higher pace (and more than enough games) than Subban. This is why we are asking you to provide some sort of justification for Subban's Norris. Which, to date, no Habs fan has been able to do.
Karlsson pulling up? Wha?

Continuously pitiful stuff from the Habs brigade this off-season.

WHY though. That's what we're asking you to establish.

Defensemen virtually never get a chance to be hit by other defensemen. What the hell are you talking about.
And if you feel that he does that particular move EVERY time then it should be easy to find evidence of what you are talking about, right?

Uncontested by any real counter argument, typically means that it's been covered.
Which has nothing to do with the jersey he wears, I'm sure.
Congratulations. They were wrong too. Happens in the annual awards all the time.
That's my argument in this case, yes.
If he played for San Jose, you simply wouldn't feel the same.
Even the Art Ross, or Richard? Stop being silly.

The Habs are a top-5 offense - constantly buoyed by one of the best PP defensive point producers in the league (Markov). It's no surprise that Subban was able to pile on the PP points (which totaled nearly 70% of his total production).

It's not hate at all.
You guys are hilarious. Corsi is the one advanced stat that actually supports your claim here and you idiots continue to shit on it.
Here's the kicker though, you guys should care. You get to pound your chest about PK winning the Norris, PK gets to pound his chest in contract negotiations about winning a Norris trophy, you guys get to pay him more than he's worth because he won a Norris that he shouldn't have. Congratulations.

Check your bifocals old man, I do them now, in the parking lot, of my gym...without anyone paying or hot latinas involved.
I wasn't criticizing him for that at all, it's ridiculously common. Sensitive bitches.

Yep, Karlsson had a lovely season offensively.
Your confidence notwithstanding, the facts are the facts. At the time of his injury, he was short of a PPG pace.
I would absolutely admit that there were question marks surrounding his elite status if that had occurred. Don't lump me in with your hopeful shite just because it makes you feel better to assume that I would think the same as you.
Well, sort of. Letang was PPG+ this season.
All points are created equal now? Goals against Boston >> Assists against Montreal
Call me when he repeats his Norris season, until then you've got wishful thinking.
