The Calder Memorial Trophy, named after former National Hockey League president Frank Calder, is awarded to the National Hockey League player judged to be the most proficient in his first season. Frank Calder was the NHL’s president from 1917 until his sudden death in 1943. Although the NHL’s best rookie was announced beginning with Carl Voss in 1933, it wasn’t until the 1936-37 season and Syl Apps the recipient that the winner actually won the Calder Trophy. Upon Calder’s death, the award became the Calder Memorial Trophy.

Maybe it had something to do with your abundance of lazy one-way Russians. ;)

Yeah, like if Varlamov chipped in a little more on the offensive end...

Crosby won the Lady Byng because he's the only NHL player who carries a purse with him on to the ice.

The funny thing is, that's the only comeback I've ever heard Crosby supporters come up with. Granted I was in Pittsburgh a couple weeks ago, and most people there follow him like lost puppies.

With a total of 7 votes, Russian winger Andrei Loktionov is the 2010-2011 Calder Memorial Trophy winner, narrowly edging out a good Canadian kid for the second year in a row. Loktionov posted 32 goals and 77 points in 82 games only to get traded the next season because he probably did it all playing with Malkin.
