Super-important stuff coming up here for the voting.  Take some time to think about the best and worst games.  If you’re worried that you’ll spend so much time thinking about it that you’ll forget to actually vote, don’t worry. I’m going to be reminding you plenty.

Around the League

Merzlikins also said the #CBJ cannon was an issue for him early, for at least the first five games, and fireworks on New Year's eve caused him all kinds of emotional distress ... which also factored into him not starting the New Year's Day game vs Carolina.

This is heartbreaking.  (In case you need a reminder why, here)

I get that automatically awarding the Norris to the guy with the most points is silly but I also think it’s pretty silly to leave him off your ballot entirely.
