Just rename the trophy already!
Patrice Bergeron set an NHL record when he was awarded the fifth Selke Trophy of his career. The Bruins captain has been a finalist for the award for 11 consecutive seasons, as well.
When you think of the perfect two-way forward, you think of Patrice Bergeron, and even at the age of 37, appears better than ever. Dimitri Filipovic of The Hockey PDOcast recently shared Bergeron's underlying stats this season.
''Patrice Bergeron has played 250 5v5 minutes now this season. Opponents have managed 3 goals and 26 total high danger chances in that time via NST lol jesus.''
According to Natural Stat Trick, Boston has a 161-73 edge in scoring chances, 65-26 in high-danger chances and has outscored opponents 10-3, with Bergeron's on the ice at 5-on-5.
It's too bad that even if Bergeron deserves the Selke once again after this season, you can almost guarantee he won't win it. That's what the call ''voter's fatigue'', or the same reason Connor McDavid doesn't win the Hart every year.
@BruinsNetwork on Twitter said it best:
''What Patrice Bergeron is doing isn't only impressive, it's flat out unprecedented dominance by a two-way forward in the NHL. Just hope that this isn't the year we see someone like Hischier win the Selke in his place because ''it's his year'' or whatever.''
