I honestly think basing this award solely on the fewest PIMs is dumb. I’d take it off the main ballot and make it a player voted award.
Slavin and Spurgeon are good choices, Slavin particular.
Matthews here is a bit of a joke. There are other players such as Couturier that play hard matchups against opponents top lines or even Boone Jenner with his hard nosed style of game that have a low PIM count, which is arguably more impressive.
I think there is a bit fo an identity crisis with this award.
If Matthews is going to win anything, this award for lack of grit and killer instinct is at least appropriate.
Is this from the playoffs? Either way, embarrassing for Matthews.
Only 2 PIM for a dman is absolutely wild.
Expecting it to go to Slavin based on that and his consistency.
Though the “high standard of playing ability” might tip it towards Matthews a bit depending on the weighting.
All terrific players at any rate
Yet ROR backed up into a Tim Hortons while drunk. People tend to forget that.Dude who mooned a security guard is the pinnacle of class
Why? He drew a penalty on the play. Better than taking a penalty himself.Is this from the playoffs? Either way, embarrassing for Matthews.
Matthews showing even the least bit of heart would be worth a hell of a lot more than a powerplay.Why? He drew a penalty on the play. Better than taking a penalty himself.
All three players meet this criteria. Since it is met for all three, you have to look at the other attributes. The award doesn't favor the highest standard of playing ability, the wording only ensures that all three have at least a high level.
Instead of Matthews I would have Aho.
Aho is Kuch Jr. He plays with a bite. Which I personally love. But not a Lady Byng situation.LOL, Aho is not even close to a Lady Byng candidate. He just knows how to not get caught slashing and cross checking people.
