Well, while I don't necessarily disagree with that, I never claimed that. I claimed you tend to whine a lot while saying outlandish things. What you're saying in this thread (Keith didn't even deserve a nomination / you know better than those who pick this award) is outlandish, and this post has a whining tone to it. Are you questioning yourself, fearing what he said about you knowing less than 95% of those here - is true? It sounds like it. If someone had said that to me I would have just disregarded it, never mind felt the need to question if it might be true.
I do think you're correct in saying that this is subjective to a degree and I've said my piece. I don't think advance stats are needed to concretely say what's blatantly obvious. Watching Duncan Keith this year and the last few - it's obvious the guy thinks and plays the game on a different level. He's one of the very best in the game at both ends of the ice - point blank. Very deserving of the Norris he's already won, and 100% deserving of a nomination this year.
I just think strombad hit the nail on the head talking about the overwhelming hyperbole. All you needed to say what that you felt there were a few better choices. Not "Keith doesn't deserve this nomination and those who think he did have no idea what this award even is". That was ignorant, and brought on the much deserved criticism of your take.
