Quenneville said both Saad and Stalberg need to be better, thus the white jerseys today at practice. #blackhawks

I'm happy for him and all but I wish he would show up to the playoffs pretty soon. Also, one could argue that his winning the Calder would affect cost control, so maybe we should secretly root against it (kind of like how I may have secretly not minded if Byfuglien won the Conn Smythe since he wasn't on an ELC and couldn't earn bonuses for it). It's moot, though; they'll give it to Huberdeau for having the most points or Gallagher for being a Hab.

It's weird that the Hawks had the best record and best goal prevention in the league along with second-best goal scoring, yet no one's up for the Hart (MVP), the Vezina (best goaltender), Norris (best defenseman), and Q probably isn't even up for the Adams. So...who is accomplishing things here, exactly?

Well, Toews has a great chance of winning the Selke (best defensive forward) award.

Toews had a plus 27 or 28 to lead all forwards for the award, so I don't see how thats true. I would have to think Toews is the frontrunner.

As for the Selke, the voters are never sure whether it's for the best pure defensive forward or for the best scoring forward (preferably center) whose defense is good. More and more, it seems to be the latter, since it's basically the Pavel Datsyuk Award now. John Madden and Kris Draper have won the Selke; I can't imagine a Madden/Draper-like player winning it today.

Saad a rookie of the year finalist, Toews named a finalist for the Selke and Kane a finalist for the Lady Byng. The team has gotten the credit due to them.

I thought Saad had an excellent game against the Wings.
Created many fine opportunities for himself but couldn't put it in the net.

Yeah, he had one great opportunity to score but missed. Once he gets his first playoff goal, he will settle down a bit. He's young and probably wound a bit tight right now. But your point about him having a good game is correct. He had a poor series VS the Wild, but was much better in game 1 VS Detroit.
Q was named a finalist for Coach of the year. Hawks could wind up with guys winning a few post-season honors, as would be fitting.
