NHL sixth man of the year awardHey I missed the show. Who won referee of the year?

Mark Stone, a winger, and Crosby had more 1st place votes than Bergeron.
Awards matter little but the system is too manipulated by homers.
Frankly, Bergeron probably didn’t care about winning another Selke award. I imagine that he’d much rather have a second Stanley Cup ring.
didnt Bergeron only play 65 games?
And he was better in those 65 than O’Reilly was in his 82
While I don't think it's the be-all, end-all, Bergeron has played 64 and 65 the past two seasons. And the winner has played 81 (Kopitar) and 82 (O'Reilly). If Bergeron plays 80+ in either of those year's he wins at least one out of two. Maybe both.
It may not matter to me or you, but the games played matters to some voters.
Some Bruins fans have been tripping over themselves to be the first one to write that. Pretty odd.O'Reilly came away with both.
Seems like this is the year that RoR takes over top 2 way center.

So Sweeney and Bergeron had to sit there and watch the Blues celebrate while there was blue and yellow confetti everywhere?
This might have been a torch passing this season with O'Reilly with the Selke and the cup. However, Bergeron has been top-5 in Selke voting for 10 straight years and a finalist for 8 straight seasons. No one in the history of hockey has that kind of record.O'Reilly came away with both.

Flavor of the month. LolO'Reilly came away with both.

how could Bergy be leading at half way thru season and lose??

The award is for best defensive FORWARD, not Center.Mark Stone? WTF?
I mean, i'm pretty certain Bergeron's first selke happened against Datsyuk because he played in more games that year than Datsyuk did...I really think that's why it happened.
If you're on the ice more, and you're mr. reliable, you probably take more defensive zone face offs, you spend more time on the PK, etc. etc....i'm not saying that there's no awards bias and i'm sure there were some voters who wanted a new flashy toy as the Selke winner, but that's why I figured why Bergy wasn't getting it this year
If he plays 80 games again next year, I think it changes things.
This moment saved the show
