I’m sure that other fanbases probably have their sarcastic comments about a member of the St. Louis Blues being nominated for the Lady Byng ready to go. Let’s admit it, though - aside from Ryan Reaves (and Jay Bouwmeester yesterday), the Blues aren’t the rough and penalty prone team that they used to be, and Vladimir Tarasenko has never made being in the box a priority.
Why would he? When he’s on the ice he scores 39 goals in a season.
Vladimir Tarasenko has been nominated for the Lady Byng Trophy this year.
