Karlsson did a good job not making a face, even though you should never expect to win I think it was safe to say Karlsson should have won but Burns deserved a Norris too so… ya
Last year 100% karlsson got robbed. He is the best Defenceman in the league and he proved it again this year. But the amount of goals Burns scored is ridiculous
Y'all must have not watched any Sharks games He dominated Reg Season!!! Yes OTW went farther mainly because Karlson but Burns Did Deserve this Years NorrisšØ
People are selling Burns way too short. Karlsson of course deserves Norris honor as well, but Burns had a historic season and carried the sharks in the regular season. The sharks best offense was a Brent Burns point slap shot, and no one in the league is better at getting point shots through to the net. He led San Jose in goals (29 goals for a freaking defenseman vs 17 for Karlsson) and assists as a defenseman. Plus Burnzie has been around longer and hasn't won it yet (which is probably why Doughty won last year instead of Karlsson).
EK robbed a second straight year but still being a good sport, so tired of this bs and the media guys with their bias canadian voting (saying that as a canadian)
How many people here watched a significant number of Sharks and Sens games this year? You have no idea who the best d-man was, and neither do the people voting. That's why the only award that matters is the Cup.
I'm a Karlsson/Ottawa fan, but people need to chill a bit. Karlsson was great in the regular season and unbelievable in the playoffs, and it's not like people don't know he's a great player. However, I see nothing wrong with Burns being awarded for his also great regular season. I would still argue for EK given his defensive superiority, but I can at least see the point in voting for Burns this year. It's not some kind of bizarre robbery, like last year with Due Doughty.
Remember that Lidstrom finished 2nd three times in a row before he won his first Norris trophy at 31. Karlsson has two Norris trophies already and is only 26; realistically he has another 8-10 years to add more.

The same people that voted for this must be the same people that left Evgeni Malkin off the top 100, what a joke.
Karlsson robbed once again
28 goals as a defensemen! You never see that anymore!! That's how he won! But yes karlsson is the best Dman in the game
What a joke
Yesssss. Now the Sharks need to finally win their first Stanley Cup to add to the top of the trophy collection
Karlsson might be top 3 player in world but can't win the best D man trophy? lmao

Bring him back to Frƶlunda where he is at least appreciated.
I don't think the nhl saw his saucer pass

How are the rules stacked against Karlsson next year?
Erik Karlsson has been the best defenseman in the league and has been for over half a decade.
Brent Burns deserved it this year. Karlsson is an amazing player but Burns has an amazing season.
Burns did deserve it this year
Burns deserved it
