He's fantastic right now. Pre-Cooke level! Seems like he's doing whatever he wants whenever he wants, a treat to watch.
and he is canadian
Like I said before, Burns created a Personality and Brand. Same reason why PK got a Norris. Same reason why a guy like Tebow has a following. Same with Don Cherry. Make yourself a commodity and a cult following, and you can get anything.
No, Burns is producing goals at an unheard of pace, leading both goals and points by double digits in 50 games.
He has just flat out been the best offensive D by a wide margin this season, on a playoff team. That's why he's a lock for the Norris ATM. Nothing to do with personality or brand, that's foolish.
And Karlsson was producing points at an unheard pace just last season and lost to a guy with many points less. Karlsson was the flat out best offensive D by a wide margin last season and he was never seen as a front runner for the Norris and that is likely due to his lack of brand that Burns seems to be relishing on.
Burns deserves the Norris this year but to not believe his overall persona plays a role in this is inaccurate IMO.

Karlsson never won because the Norris winner has never gone to a guy on a non-playoff team.
His persona really doesn't. He's doing more than what Karlssin did last year offensively, on a guaranteed playoff team.
People are ****ing delusional about Karlsson not being considered the #1 guy year in year out.
