Well deserved.

I guess when you do something never done before in NHL history you kinda have to be right?

Auston Matthews is way behind Dahlin for the Rocket Richard trophy, they have to hold on for a week or so before the Leafs fans MVP chants turn the tide.

Cozens hit on Matthews after his scuffle with Dahlin was one of my favourite memories from last year.

You're back.   I saw you make a positive, almost uplifting post in another thread.

I think I get what you’re trying to say, but I also think NHL fans might recognize the first overall pick of an NHL draft who has international appeal/cred. 
 

I think Buffalo being relevant to the NHL can be overstated (traditionally great tv ratings but low national appeal).
But I do believe this market is somewhat important to the league. 
 

All of this to say that IMO, Dahlin deserved this and there isn’t a league-wide agenda against small market team’s players winning social media awards like the star of the week.

Exactly! Everyone knows that Carolina is a small market, but they’ve received plenty of attention because they’ve been having winning seasons. Then again, Montreal and Toronto could get attention for all the wrong reasons. So, market size is irrelevant.
