Normally we’d wait ‘till the season is close to over to talk about awards, but this year something a bit unusual has happened to the NHL:
There’s been a clear separation of the wheat from the chaffe when it comes to who should be given what award.
Pretty much most Hart conversation is between three guys, Vezina is all but locked up in Manhatten, and this year, the Selke might as well belong to Patrice Bergeron. In a way that we might not be entirely appreciating fully, and I wanted to take this time today to talk about the reasons why anybody trying to galaxy brain away Patrice’s rightful Sixth Selke award is mostly just blowing smoke.
