Hello LG Community, This is the last and final Community Vote. This poll will close in 5 days, with the winner receiving an extra vote during the final tabulation (out of 7). FYI: YOUR VOTE CANNOT BE CHANGED SO CHOOSE WISELY!!!! Frank J. Selke Trophy - "Awarded to the forward who best excels in the defensive aspects of the game." Criteria: Note that increasingly, although not exclusively, the Selke is awarded to players in the NHL that also produce at an above average level offensively. Considering the nature of our league, it will almost always be the case that players deserving of nomination for the Selke will also produce at an above average level offensively. However, offensive production specifically should not be a factor in determining who is more deserving of the award. Also note that increasingly, although not exclusively, the Selke is awarded to players in the NHL that play the position of center. Playing wing should hinder, but not preclude, a player from winning or being nominated for the Selke. 1) Stats to consider when evaluating players to nominate for the Selke are the following: Record, +/-, PIM, FO%, AGA, and PPKE. Note that players should not receive a massive bonus due to a high +/- simply due to outlandish offensive production. AGA is a much more reliable indicator of defensive superiority than +/- is. 2) Linemates. This is mainly to note that a player should not be significantly punished or rewarded based on their fellow linemates. 3) Strength of schedule. The main things to examine here are record vs playoff teams as compared to record vs non-playoff teams, as well as statistical production vs playoff teams as compared to vs non-playoff teams. 4) Perceived individual skill. Players who are widely recognized to be more defensively skilled at the game should be given a slight leg up over players who have more of a, for lack of a better term, "flukey" season. The Selke is one of the more difficult awards to hand out in our league due to the nature of not being able to watch every game and specifically analyze a player's performance. Many of the stats and indicators used in the real NHL to vote on this award are not available or simply unreliable in our virtual setting. Therefore, along with the criteria listed above, a player's generally accepted skill level needs to be taken into account.

These stats are useless if ImLxziee doesnt win. People keep voting for friends instead of the right player that deserves the award.
I set a record on west and was told it was because i was west, Lets go @xVishh i hope you do the same!
Great write up. I feel it doesn’t give enough justice what @White_Knucklerz really faced though. 16+ first lines. Two dominant wins against gwan. Easy choice.
Congrats to @xVishh for winning the community vote! You will receive one "committee member" vote, which is 1 of 7.
