The voting is done at the end of the regular season, no amount of playoff heroics is going to make a single difference.

It's hard to argue against Cooper.....if that's who got it, I didn't watch or look. That team only lost 15 games or so and the team's goal differential was somewhere over +100. Geez....I would hope he got the award. If it went to Trotz.....nah.

Same goes with Binnington.....and I would imagine the voting was much closer than the voting for Coach of the year, but Pettersson.....if that's who got it, had one hell of a rookie season....a FULL season.
