Niklas Kronwall doesn’t think he’s a Norris-caliber defenseman…yet

As Paul noted this afternoon, ESPN's Pierre LeBrun believes that Red Wings defenseman Niklas Kronwall's having a Norris Trophy-caliber season, but Kronwall doesn't agree with that assessment per se. Yahoo Sports' Nicholas J. Cotsonika's incredibly thorough Three Periods column concludes with the following:
The Wings’ Niklas Kronwall entered Thursday night second among defensemen in scoring with 18 points. But he scoffs at the idea he is a Norris candidate. “Stats only say so much, I think,” he said. “I know I need to be better.” He singled out one stat – his minus-3 – and said he needs to be more consistent in his own end and needs to make better decisions with the puck. “I have a few more levels to reach before I’m really satisfied,” he said.

About The Malik Report
The Malik Report is a destination for all things Red Wings-related. I offer biased, perhaps unprofessional-at-times and verbose coverage of my favorite team, their prospects and developmental affiliates. I've joined the Kukla's Korner family with five years of blogging under my belt, and I hope you'll find almost everything you need to follow your Red Wings at a place where all opinions are created equal and we're all friends, talking about hockey and the team we love to follow.
That’s what I like to hear!
