Sam McKee· Co-host0:38
Hello.
Justin Bourne· Host0:38
Sammy, what's going on, man?
Sam McKee· Co-host0:39
Nothing, bud. I was just looking at my, uh, lineup that I type, marginal as always. Uh, but I put in here, and we're gonna talk about the Habs.
Justin Bourne· Host0:47
Mm-hmm.
Sam McKee· Co-host0:47
Uh, but I forgot about this. I put this in here. Dahlin, Makar, and Werenski- Mm-hmm ... named the three finalists for the Norris Trophy.
Justin Bourne· Host0:56
Right. Do you have any- I mean, Evan Bouchard is a Norris finalist.
Sam McKee· Co-host1:00
I'm sorry.
Justin Bourne· Host1:02
Which guy you taking out there?
Sam McKee· Co-host1:03
I'm taking Dahlin out.
Justin Bourne· Host1:04
Oh.
Sam McKee· Co-host1:05
I am.
Justin Bourne· Host1:05
Yeah.
Sam McKee· Co-host1:06
Look, I, we all, like, you know, it's not a points thing or whatever, but, like, Karlsson won it because he had 120 points. What did Bouchard have this year, 95 points? Almost 100 points. Like- So many.
Justin Bourne· Host1:16
I'm trying to pull up right now, Dahlin- I know Dahlin's amazing.
Sam McKee· Co-host1:18
Dahlin's fantastic. But, like, they always reward guys that have high point totals, and just because what, what's the reason Bouchard isn't a finalist? Because he had a couple gaffes to start the year on the East Coast trip? I, I, I can't believe he's not a finalist.
