I would smash it

I think "draws a lot of penalties" plays a factor too. Because he falls down a lot, which convinces refs he was fouled. He's not diving or selling it, he just..... falls.

What!? He is one of the best embellishers in the league. The difference is when he is on his game he keeps his feet moving which really sells things. Lately with him being off he kinda sulks or goes oh shucks if the call doesnt go his way

This award was always funny to me because it basically just goes to the player who had the best season while also having fewer than 10 PIMS.

I expect Matthews to win, but cool to see Pettersson nominated.

He probably deserved it last year more than this year.

Always good to have a high ice time player who takes so few penalties.

If they got rid of the Lady Byng would anyone care?

Regardless of how this season turns out, it will surely still set a record for the number of Canucks up for major NHL awards.

You've got Tocchet as coach of the year; Allvin as GM of the year; Hughes a finalist for the Norris; Demko for the Vezina; and now Pettersson for the Lady Byng.

Canuck fans will probably be waiting a long time to see another season like it.

Surely.

Obviously voting was done before Petey turned into a charging goon in the playoffs.

Players would, that’s bonus money
