Because despite missing 25% of the season he still scored as many points as Ovechkin and only 4 less then the leader. He led his team to a 9 point (in a shortened season) lead on the next best team in his conference.
He was the best player of that year and the only argument was that he missed some games. If he missed those games and was still producing better than most everyone else that should be a plus.
I had Tavares 2nd but I get a little tired of the good guy on bad team or team that overachieved winning awards. They are nice stories but shouldn't beat out great play which is what Crosby had that year.
