The Detroit Red Wings' Nicklas Lidstrom captured the Norris Trophy (http://www.nhl.com/trophies/norris.html) for the fourth time as the League's outstanding defenseman. Lidstrom led all NHL blueliners in scoring with a career-high 80 points (16 goals, 64 assists), helping the Presidents' Trophy winners post a 14-0-0 record when he scored a goal. Lidstrom ranked third in the NHL in ice time per game (28:06) and posted a +21 rating.
Lidstrom's teammate Pavel Datsyuk won his first Lady Byng Trophy (http://www.nhl.com/trophies/ladybyng.html) for combining sportsmanship with a high standard of play. Datsyuk led the Red Wings in scoring with a career-high 87 points (28 goals, 59 assists), the most by a Detroit player since Brendan Shanahan's 88 in 1996-97, and was the first Red Wing to tally 50 assists in a season since Steve Yzerman, also in 1996-97.
And in great news Sidney "The Human Hype" Crosby didn't win the Clader!!!!
Other honorees included Washington Capitals left wing Alexander Ovechkin, who won the Calder Trophy (http://www.nhl.com/trophies/calder.html) as the NHL's top rookie. Ovechkin was a near-unanimous selection, receiving 124 of 129 first-place votes and five second-place votes for 1,275 points. The 20-year-old Moscow native led all rookies in scoring with 106 points and became the second rookie in history to tally 50 goals and 100 points in a season, following Winnipeg's Teemu Selanne in 1992-93. Ovechkin also led the NHL in shots with 425, the most ever for a rookie, and ranked third among all players in points.
