Here's why Kris Letang is a good contender for the Bill Masterton memorial trophy...
If one thing can be said about Kristopher Letang, it's that he's a true warrior, on and off the ice. After returning to play only two weeks after his second stroke, he immediately showed what he could do, by being an impactful player during every game he plays.
Unfortunately, Tanger really can't catch a break, he got hurt last night and could possibly be injured for a longer period of time since he was not at practice this morning.Being a pro hockey player is hard. Being as impactful as Tanger is hard. Being a leader like him is hard. It's even harder when life sends you challenges such as health problems or injuries and still being able to deliver great performances. Twitter account Pens report made a Tweet today concerning him and his resilience:
"He played 2 more periods after this and just returned from a stroke earlier this month. If he doesn't get the Masterton automatically..."
This is a great point, Kris has everything to deserve the Bill Masterton trophy this season, which is given to the National Hockey League player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to hockey.
