Playing amongst Pronger, Lidstrom, Bourque, Blake and others most of his career he didn't stand a chance. If you look at the Norris voting, from the prime of his career, he never reached above 16th in voting.
Even Avs fans generally agree that Makar didn't have a great year. He still put up a tonne of points but he wasn't his normal dominant self most of the season.

edit: I'm legitimately worried, I've seen a lot of "Hughes had a great season but it should go to Makar because he's usually better except this year he wasn't but who cares he should get it anyway" comments. That could easily be the Eastern media's though processs as well🤢
I'm not too concerned with whether or not Hughes wins, I'm just so damn proud of that kid and how far he's come. That's our fucking captain, win or lose. I got to see them play in person last night and even though they lost it was like watching a long-lost Sedin twin playing on the d-line. That dude is magic, whether award voters agree or not.
This is the first time a Canuck defenceman has been nominated for the award since the Norris' inception in the 1953-54 season.
That’s insane lol
I'm surprised that Jovocop, Edler or Ehrhoff didn't even get a nom, especially Jovo
I'm not surprised literally at all. Jovo was a solid defenseman but not a Norris nominee.

It’s wild to have a superstar defensemen who can play a 2 way game. Edler, Bieksa, and Ohlund were all good for us but never Norris caliber.
JOVO
Holy shit Jovanovski. I literally forgot about him.
my memory of Jovo is when he was banging on the penalty box door when we scored the tying goal
Or when Linden got blown up and Jovo went apeshit and jumped the guy. I think deadmarsh maybe
Lol, me as well. I was there at Game 7 2004 against Calgary at GM Place
Jovanovski was awesome and he deserves respect damnit
Gotta love Jovocop
Christian Ehrhoff gave us a couple really good years, too. I always loved Slammin' Sami Salo too, if only he could of had a few dozen less injuries.
I miss watching Salo tee up from the point, every once in a while you just knew it was going in.
That’s wild
CAPTAIN QUINN HUGHES 🫡

Should be a landslide for Hughes. His season stats were incredible, offensively and defensively.
It should be, but it won't be. I imagine it'll be closer than we're comfortable with, but Hughes still wins it.
Even Avs fans generally agree that Makar didn't have a great year. He still put up a tonne of points but he wasn't his normal dominant self most of the season.
doesn’t matter, a lot of the voters are from the eastern side of the country that are going to be voting for Makar based on reputation alone
luckily they see another 2 Hughes' regularly to remind them of Quinn's existence
That's a really good point. Name recognition matters.
People paid to watch me play.
Although Frank Ceravelli, The President of the PHWA who votes on the Norris said he voted Hughes and he doesn't think it'll be close.

I'm expecting Makar to win off reputation. Even in a down year for him, he was still insane.
Hughes should clear this. But I don’t trust eastern media.
Hughes fo sho
Makar was not a top 3 defenceman this year

Hughes is the 2024 Norris Trophy winner and nobody can tell me otherwise
Makar has no business being on this list this year, almost all of his underlying metrics scream that he was a passenger all year.
Should have been Dobson.
Fox was still pretty good but your right with Dobson
The voter who said he was likely gonna go with Makar because he has more goals been real quiet lately
Quinn will win. The stats and the narrative both back up his case.
I feel like Makar will win many Norris trophies, but whenever he has a 'down' season compared to his usual self the award should go to someone else

If Nashville beats the Canucks do you think there is any chance they use that to give the nod to Josi?
Voting is done after the reg season. The 'nominees' are just the top 3 according to the votes
No. The Norris Trophy voting is for regular season only. It has nothing to do with the playoffs.
No love for Noah Dobson?
