Great for Gio, but how did he beat out P.K. Subban?

Way to go, Gio!
I thought this was Subban's without question.

The NHL Foundation presents $25,000 to the winner’s chosen charitable organization. Giordano has selected the Calgary Flames Foundation, which will lend its support to the Calgary School Board and the Team Giordano initiative.
Giordano’s leadership and dedication on the ice only are paralleled by his various initiatives away from the rink. For the past two seasons, Giordano and his wife have partnered with the Calgary Board of Education to create a unique community program called Team Giordano – which provides resources to four low-income Calgary schools. Funding from Team Giordano supports the purchase of computers, journals and other school supplies as well as floor hockey equipment. Students in the program are encouraged to achieve their goals using the “5 G’s” Giordano believes are the keys to success. Since its inception, Team Giordano has donated $200,000 to its four schools, impacting the lives of 1,400 students.
NHL Clubs submitted nominations for the NHL Foundation Player Award and the finalists were selected by a judging panel. Other finalists for this year’s honor were Matt Martin of the New York Islanders andP.K. Subban of the Montreal Canadiens.

I think it's slowly coming into focus how lucky we are as fans to have back to back Captains in the upper echelon of Hockey players and people.
I thought that it would be tough to top Iginla. Gio comes close, and we didn't even have to wait that long.
Anybody remember Todd Simpson?

I see a lot of quotations in why Subban didn't win. His team didn't nominate him so he wasn't eligible

Subban was one of the three finalists with Gio and Matt Martin of the Islanders.

If I were to guess, they probably didn't want to give it to Subban because of the optics of him getting it because he had a huge $ figure.
Could set a bad precedent that the award goes to whoever donates the most.
