Last week the nominees for the Selke Trophy were announced, and Sidney Crosby was not among the three finalists.
It’s not a huge shock that Crosby didn’t make it this time around, but momentum is surely picking up a bit for the Pens’ captain as he has been gaining a reputation for his two-way play for a while now. Crosby has finished in the top-10 in Selke voting each of the last three seasons and probably will push closer to the top-five this year, even if he obviously we now know he didn’t make it up to the top-three.
