Adam Fox’s Norris Trophy underscores Rangers stupidity

On Tuesday night, the National Hockey League announced their annual awards, all-NHL teams and All-Rookie teams.

The New York Rangers had a pretty good night.

Adam Fox won his first Norris Trophy as the league’s top defenseman. Fox was also voted one of the defensemen on the 2020-21 NHL First All-Star Team.

Fox, 23, just completed his second NHL season.

He won the award despite Colorado’s Cale Makar or Tampa’s Victor Hedman, the other two finalists, being better bets. Fox finished the 2021 season second among defensemen with 47 points (five goals, 42 assists), one behind Tyson Barrie of the Edmonton Oilers.
