Choose Your Wing Winners

Who has the best chance of winning tonite?

This is important.  Vote.

You’re right. I left Lidstrom off.  Why vote on a foregone conclusion?

Wings Winners. Pick 'em bitches.

Gotta vote for Datsyuk for the Byng. I mean, how can E.T. not win that one? Some pimp makes a trail of Reese’s Pieces that leads to a darkened alley, and Dats is forced to gun down a hooker right before the show for f*@^ing with him like that?

Were the official votes tallied before or after the playoffs? Just wondering.

I’d go Datsyuk Byng. Zetterberg Selke. And does anyone know the last coach to win the Adams and Stanley in the same season?

I don’t, if you’re expecting me to come back and provide the answer.

Datsyuk with the Byng is the obvious choice.

Who, 6 votes so far, is picking Z for Selke?  And I though I made too many drug references…

little too much sippy sip in the morning/ afternoon eh people?

I think Dats is taking both the Byng and the Selke tonight.

And after the hitting we saw in the playoffs, I don’t think we’ll be seeing him up for the Byng again.

HAHAHa…..good one.

Dats= Byng and Selke
Crosby= crap…can’t remember what the name of the ‘whiny little bitch’ trophy is….oh yeah, Bettman’s Cup…he’s been all over it all year.
NoNeck= Adams (for stickin’ with who got us here wink  )

I think Datsyuk only had six penalty minutes in the entire postseason, all of them against the Penguins.

The only thing that keeps him from winning the Byng in future years is the league wanting somebody else to get a turn at the hardware that should eventually be named after him.

Zetterberg wins Selke.  Slips picture of him holding it into Crosby’s rented tux pocket during post-show reception.

C’mon, it’s not that far back. Tortorella in 2004.

The only other times were way back in the 70’s, though (Shero in ‘74, Bowman in ‘77).

Dats should win both the Byng and Selke, but I have a feeling somebody else is gonna win the Selke…  And he better be named Hank.

Boudreau’s gonna take the Jack Adams award, and I have no friggin clue on the Masterton- but if they give it to Cheli, I’ll be mildly surprised…

And nothing more need be said about Norris Nick.
