Silver Sevens going for some April Fools LOLs :D

First, let’s look at Boro’s scoring stats. He’s sitting at seven goals (41st among defencemen), 11 assists (111th among defencemen — and tied with former Norris winner P.K. Subban), and 18 points (92nd among defencemen). None of those are very high, but let’s remember that points aren’t everything among defencemen. After all, the Norris isn’t given to an “offenceman”. Not scoring as many points shows us Boro is spending more time focusing on the defensive side of the game. And let’s remember that Drew Doughty won a Norris in part by scoring fewer points than Erik Karlsson because “coach Daryl Sutter [didn’t] require his top defenseman to attack in the same vain [sic] as Erik Karlsson.” We all know that Doughty scored fewer points because he was such a good defenceman, and Boro is scoring even fewer points. Boro has more than doubled his previous career-best in goals, and is already 64% up on his previous career-best in points, and that kind of improvement while still focusing on defence deserves serious Norris consideration.

I was going to vote for Boro to win the Norris until the end of the season when White tied him in scoring...
