Two more announced this week.

The Norris Trophy going to Zach Warensky.

And apologies to the Blue Jackets fans out there that we were remiss to mention that on last pod.

But I guess you and I were...

up to our noses and getting ready for the Stanley Cup final.

It can kind of get lost in the shuffle on a game day down here, can it not?

That was your own float.

Yeah, I'm with you on that one.

Do you happen to know why, Elliot?

So, I mean, the awards that the PHWA vote on, like the Hart, the Norris, Selke, you know, go down the list.

Five names you put on the ballot for each award there.

However, with the Jack Adams and I believe also to the Vesna that the GMs vote on, it's only three spots on the ballot.

Do you know why it's different?

Okay.

Because, and I suppose, you know, maybe this is a unique year, not unlike the Norris, where you're looking at the Jack Adams in particular, and there's three, four guys easy where you could look at and say, absolutely, that is a very worthy candidate of winning the whole thing.

And I'm sure there's examples in the past where an additional fourth or fifth place vote can make a difference in the slotting.

And with how tight this one was, I mean...

Maybe if the there's five names to put on the ballot, does does that ultimately play a role in in the final tally?

Maybe.

But I still think like I'm with you for each this.
