Offensive dman who is praised so highly for his offense hasn't scored a goal in 2 consecutive post seasons. Uhm it says something about the player no?

He's not a goal scorer, he's always been much more of playmaker. He has 39 points in 46 career playoff games and that includes this season where he was clearly hobbled. Before this year it was 31 points in 30 games. Plus it's a complete misunderstanding of the player to just call him an "offensive defenseman". He always grades out as elite defensively. He's just good offensively and isn't big so people think he's bad defensively. He's easily our best defensive defenseman. He just doesn't look like Trouba. And even if you want to knock him for it, it doesn't need to be stated every game on every Powerplay. At some point it was a broken record.

Doesn't matter, with how gifted offensively he his and how much PP time he plays, he needs to score some goals. He knows it

Adam Fox finished 4th in the Norris voting.

Shame if he didnt get injured he likely would have been nominated again.
He was nominated, he finished 4th... :naughty:
(sorry, it's just that 'nominated' and 'finalist' are such dumb terms with regard to these awards. Pretty sure the Masterton is the only one a player can be nominated for...)

Top 5 Norris finish in every year except his rookie one is a hell of a career so far. Really need him to be healthy at the pointy end of next season

Another top 5 Norris finish. He has done so every year in which he's played top pair minutes.
