Both hosts bring up great points to their favor as is nasty pointed out that the Detroit Red Wings at the time when Lidstrom played were built with seven hall of Famers that played for several years together which helped his chances to win as many Norris trophies as possible.

All three defensemen are fantastic and elite, while it remains to be seen on who will be chosen as the Norris winner this year.
While playing 77 games this year, Makar add 21 goals with 69 assists for 90 points and was a plus 15. Is Colorado Avalanche or on their quest for another Stanley Cup as they await the winner of the Vegas golden Knights and the Dallas Stars series.
