Why Alex Pietrangelo should be a Norris Trophy finalist this year
Jeff Curry-USA TODAY Sports I’m tired of it.
What am I tired of, may you ask? I am tired of Alex Pietrangelo being overlooked by the NHL for being one of the best defensemen in the league. I am tired of seeing the Norris Trophy Finalists being announced, and Pietrangelo’s name being left off the list.
He hasn’t cracked the Top 5 Finalist list since the 2013-14 season even though he has driven up his offense and maintained his strong defense. He’s done this while being a 25 minute-per-game puck controlling beast (check his above average ratings with Corsi and Fenwick) possession) and providing offense.
