All aboard the Kris Letang for Norris train
When thinking about Kris Letang’s masterful 32 minute performance against the Washington Capitals earlier this week, for some reason I started thinking about the Emmy’s. Well, specifically I was thinking about how actors and actresses of television shows submit a couple of their best episodes for consideration.
The NHL doesn’t determine their annual awards like that at all — but if they did Letang putting the Pens team on his back and leading them to a win and doing damage to end Alex Ovechkin’s career-high points streak while playing more than half the game would have to be probably the singular virtuoso performance of any defenseman of the season.
