This is so awesome. Habs asked Suzuki to surprise Caufield with the Lady Bing while asking Caufield to surprise Suzuki with the Frank Selke award. 🤣 www.youtube.com/watch?v=bso6...

Nice touch for sure… and couldn’t be more fitting that they both win one at the same time, 100 pts don’t happen without 50 goals & vice versa :)

After passing up strong Canadiens candidates for the Jack Adams, Jim Gregory and Norris trophies, the voters award Suzuki the Selke and Caufield the Lady Byng. But Hutson should have been no worse than third in the Norris voting, St. Louis second in the Jack Adams and Kent Hughes a lock as best GM.
