Nominated for the fourth year in a row, Victor Hedman tonight unfortunately didn’t take home the Norris Trophy. I thought it was a no-brainer as did most Lightning fans. What’s really crazy is Victor came in third. I’m sure Victor would rather pose for pics with the Stanley Cup anyway. It’s too bad because I dug out a bunch of old pics he probably hoped were lost forever! Sorry Victor. Still posting ’em.
