Why does that need to be explained to people? 
I know the nhl.com ranking mean SFA. But don't you agree it's odd the player who quite literally won the Norris is 3rd? Nowhere at all on the webpage does it say they are basing the rankings on more then the previous season (unless they said that somewhere on the video).
I'n not interpreting it as a slight against Gio. It's just an odd ranking to put the guy who won the Norris and got 99% 1st place votes, in 3rd place. |
It's only odd if you think subjectivity and context don't exist. The Norris, like any other list, is just the opinion of a select group of people. Change the people, the list might change... as it has here...
The Norris voters are also tasked with judging a player ONLY by a single season, whether they always do that is on them, but that's the context of the award. This list doesn't have any similar stipulations, other than "in the league."
