Early Trophy Predictions: Chris’ Picks

JDF Sports February 11, 2021

By Chris Nosek After taking a look at who is favored by everyone else, and a couple longshot candidates, who could win each trophy the question remains as to who is actually set right now to take home the hardware? Rocket Richard: Last season, we saw David Pastrnak and Alex Ovechkin share the Rocket Richard despite both players having games remaining when the season went on pause. If you ask each fanbase, both would say their teams guy would have

Early Trophy Predictions: Stanley Cup

JDF Sports February 1, 2021

By Chris Nosek Last, but certainly not least, everyone wants to know, who’s going to take home the hardest trophy to win in all of sports – the Stanley Cup? Obviously this is a season in which anything can happen at any time and any player could miss a game with little to no notice. Universally, no one is hoping for any game – especially a playoff series deciding game – to have any of the best players miss out

Early Trophy Predictions: Presidents Trophy

JDF Sports January 30, 2021

By Chris Nosek After the season was cut short last year, it was decided that the first place Bruins should be awarded the Presidents’ Trophy for having the most accumulated points over the season. This was the third straight season Boston hit at least 100 points for the season. So, having finished in the top 5 in points for each of the past 5 seasons, will the Bruins be able to take the regular season title again? With the realigned

Early Trophy Predictions: Hart Trophy

JDF Sports January 28, 2021

By Chris Nosek Last season, Leon Draisaitl walked away with the Hart Trophy after posting 110 points for the Edmonton Oilers. Who will be deemed the most valuable to their team for the 2020-21 season? Vegas Favorites: Connor McDavid, Nathan MacKinnon, and Auston Matthews are the favorites in Vegas and rightly so – they will all likely be high up on the scoring list when the season is over. All three are poised to have fantastic seasons and help get

Early Trophy Predictions: Vezina Trophy

JDF Sports January 26, 2021

By Chris Nosek It was determined last season (as I mentioned on Puck Off many times) that Connor Hellebuyck of the Winnipeg Jets was the best goaltender in the National Hockey League – he even beat out Boston’s Tuukka Rask (and Dillon’s favorite, Andrei Vasilevskiy) for the Vezina Trophy. After starting in 52 games last season for Winnipeg, it’s clear the Jets will look to ride their netminder during the course of the shortened season as well, but will he

Early Trophy Predictions: Selke Trophy

JDF Sports January 24, 2021

By Chris Nosek Named after the former Montreal and Detroit general manager, this award is granted to the forward who plays the defensive aspect of their game the best. Only 5 players have taken the award home at least 3 times, with only Montreal’s Bob Gainey and Boston’s Patrice Bergeron having taken it home 4 times.  Elite Options: Patrice Bergeron, Ryan O’Reilly, and Sean Couturier are going to be on the list for most people. O’Reilly won the award in

Early Trophy Predictions: Norris Trophy

JDF Sports January 23, 2021

By Chris Nosek The hardware given to the best defender in the league can be one of the hardest to project because we are in a time where the top defensemen must also produce offensively instead of just being relied on to shut down the other teams best players. With Roman Josi taking the hardware home last season, he showed the incredible balance of defending while jumping up into the offense from the blueline. So will Josi be good enough

Early Trophy Predictions: Calder Trophy

JDF Sports January 22, 2021

By Chris Nosek The one trophy that can never be won by the same person a second time is also one of the most exciting to see won. Last year, Avalanche defenseman Cale Makar joined the likes of guys like Barzal, Matthews, Panarin, and MacKinnon by taking home the Calder Memorial Trophy and edging out Quinn Hughes and Dominik Kubalik. So, who will be the best rookie of this season? Vegas Favorites: Igor Shesterkin, Alexis Lafreniere, and Kirill Kaprizov lead

Early Trophy Predictions: William M. Jennings Trophy

JDF Sports January 21, 2021

By Chris Nosek Whenever goaltending is spoken about, it’s almost always about individual goaltenders – which is where the Vezina Trophy comes into play. The William Jennings Trophy doesn’t necessarily go to the team with the best goaltender, but instead to the team who’s goaltenders kept them able to compete in most games by allowing the fewest goals over the duration of the season. The large majority of the time, this award goes to a team with a solid pair
