How Ryan O’Reilly won the 2014 Lady Byng Trophy
Ryan O’Reilly of the Colorado Avalanche won the 2014 Lady Byng Trophy, which is given annually to the guy with the fewest penalty minutes …er, we mean, "to the player adjudged to have exhibited the best type of sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct combined with a high standard of playing ability," as selected by the Professional Hockey Writers’ Association.
O’Reilly’s margin of victory here was rather ridiculous: He had 1,181 points to 358 from Marty St. Louis of the New York Rangers, who was second. In third was Patrick Marleau with 323.
From the NHL:
O'Reilly tallied a career-high 64 points as the resurgent Avalanche captured the Central Division title and tied a franchise record with 52 victories. He led the club in goals (28), power-play goals (nine) and game-winners (six-tied), and led the NHL in takeaways (83) for the second time in the past three seasons. O'Reilly was flagged for just one minor penalty all season, joining Butch Goring (1977-78, Los Angeles) as the only players ever to receive two or fewer PIM over 80 or more games.

No idea how a guy who bolted from his team in-season gets nominated for a sportsmanship award. At least O’Reilly was a restricted free agent when he tried to leave for Calgary …
Oh, and DUNCAN KEITH GOT THREE SECOND-PLACE VOTES FOR THE LADY BYNG.
Somewhere, a Sedin weeps.
