Lester B. Pearson Award renamed - Lindsay!

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

Do you guys think there should be another award for D-men for top offensive D-men instead of just the Norris?. Mike Green is a good offensive D-men but not one of the top Defensive D guys in the League. I think the League gets blinded by guys like Green who are ok on D but put up points like a forward. I think the Norris should be for the Best D-man and should have like a Coffey or Orr award for best offensive D-man.

As much as I like Ted Lindsay, I wonder if this is the start of renaming all the trophies to former players :brow:?

Hart Trophy = Wayne Gretzky Trophy

Norris Trophy = Bobby Orr Trophy

etc.

I doubt it because this is a recognition for his work establishing the NHLPA more than his production as a player

Exactly. The award is the one award voted on by the players, so it makes sense to have it named after a player rather than a prime minister.

cool. name the trophy after a great player and pioneer in the game. anyone who doesn't know the true story behind what ted lindsay did for the league, watch the movie "Networth"

things were the s***s for players before lindsay did what he did...and he sacrificed EVER being able to win the cup again in his cause. great man that deserves this honour.

it was named after a politician right??

this brings up a question though. when will wayne gretzky get a trophy? not that i was ever a huge gretzky fan, but there should be an award for most assists in the NHL regular season...and who better to name it after than the guy who has more assists in NHL history than the 2nd leading scorer all time has points with 1963 assists. seems like a good idea.

back on topic, couldn't be happier for terrible ted!

With all of the talk for another trophy (for d-men or other positions) this one makes sense, a trophy for most assists.

I like it deeznutz!

Not that my opinion means jack s*** though!
