Why didn't you write in the title "I finished 2nd in Lady Byng voting"?

Trophy just doesn't get the respect it deserves.  I'm guilty of slagging it unfortunately.

It's weird for goalie to get votes.

How many Lady Bings win the cup? Unless you're ROR great guy! Brock's our ROR except we didn't win. Isn't this the award for the nices't star player.  

 

Watching the Sedins get speed bagged in the finals doesn't make me love the lady bing.

Gretzky won Lady Byng five times.

 

Mike Bossy won it three times.

 

Ron Francis won it three times.

 

Pavel Datsyuk won it four times.

 

Martin St Louis won it three times.

 

Bobby Hull won it.

 

Stan Mikita won it twice.

 

Dave Keon won it twice.

 

I could go on... all the above were Stanley Cup Champs.

Do you actually know anything about hockey?

Well, if the NHL let the best players win the Cup it wouldn’t be a problem. Now any shitty player can win the cup just by being a duck.

But I must say that I was surprised how dirty McDavid is as a player. 
The deliberate high stick against Hughes that could have taken an eye away was insane.

Is it time for a P.O.S. Award?

Maybe a hockey site with reputation should have annual "counter-awards", such as 

• most obvious diver
• worst diving play
• dirtiest play 
• dirtiest player
• worst stick infraction
• turtling award
• douchiest player
• p.o.s (for overall style of play)
• slewfoot play
• slewfoot player

(I differentiate play and player because a player can be an all-round diver, but the worst diving play could be from a second-tier diver, for example)

It’s actually strange that this doesn’t exist already.

Let's further promote diversity & alternative approaches with the Lady Bong Trophy!

Some phenomenal players have won this award. All guys who led their clubs to Cups too. (Barkov will lead the Panthers to the Cup this month)

Petey is definitely a great player. He will win this award, the Selke, the Smythe, and the Hart before he’s done. His name will be engraved on the Cup too joining all the other great players’ names you listed.
