Jakob Hamr is occasionally a contender for awards surrounding generally having a low center of gravity and being a grit grinder, often near the top of the rankings in hits and blocked shots. This season however, the hits numbers were a little lower than normal, so that takes that out of the equation. Blocked shots were down a titch as well but that’s mostly because Tampa surrendered fewer shots than normal. 11th in hits, 3rd in shots blocked, 5th in takeaways is a solid stat line, but there are people who are better generally across the board there. He’s also 100% in fight wins with 1 fight that occurred and a resounding victory from his side. But that isn’t enough to push Hamr over Odelein III in a grit grinder race. Instead, this season’s award for Jakob is the “how the heck did you even do that” award, for getting a 12 minute penalty in one clean maneuver and still managing to be the first star of the game.
