I thought Stone was going to win it. Good for Barkov.

I know one Flyers fan who’s going to lose his mind

 

[VijayPatel11]

f*** THATS A BIG WIN!
but of course he has to win it the year before his contract expires

I thin Danault should be the winner but unfortunately the trophy is forward with most points who happens to back check once in a while.

 

[Puckstop40]

Tuch at center will be interesting.

 

[hotpaws]

well deserved

 

[PavelBrendl]

Hell of a player. Well-deserved.

 

[Three On Zero]

One hell of a player who had one hell of a season. Well earned Barkov!

Tell me you don’t watch Barkov without telling me you don’t watch Barkov.

Nothing against Barkov he's a hell of a player im talking more in general of the Selke winners.

If you are insinuating that Barkov back check "once in a while" you might want to actually watch him play. He is ridiculously good defensively., and so is Danault.

Just saw your post above, and understood.

Believe he’s the youngest winner since Lehtenen in 1998

Such a joke

Barkov has a defensive reputation and was the best player on a breakout team, that's the only reason he won. Nothing to do with his defense play this season which was nothing more than slightly above average at best

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Hes so good and it's a well deserved award win

His next contract is gonna be insane

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

What a joke. Selke is basically the Hart lite Trophy (sponsored by Newcastle)

 

[Phosphophyllite]

Winning the Selke after his worst defensive season so far.

Well it's been that way since 2005, everyone should know the parameters of the award by now.

Wrong. He's ridiculously good defensively for how many points he scores. Having possession the whole time you're on the ice counts as great defense.

Weird he got the best defensive forward award when he’s not even close.

You have anything to back that up?

Let’s put this in perspective for people. Barkov has a rep as a defensive forward yet his defensive numbers are inferior to Jack Hughes who isn’t considered a great defensive forward, and who does his damage with interceptions and takeaways in the neutral and offensive zone.

The award probably should’ve went to Stone or Bergeron.

Why are they announcing these randomly?

 

[FinlandPanther]

Ooooh. I love the amount of crying in here. Guy was dominant all season long.

I thought Stone should have won it but you know he's a winger. I like how Draisaitl got 2 2nd place votes despite being one of the worst players defensively at even strength.
