Jason Pominville nominated for the Lady Byng

The NHL has announced the three finalists for the Lady Byng award, and Pominville made the top three. Unlike most of the other awards in the league, this one is really up in the air, and could go to any of the nominees.

Typically the Lady Byng award goes to a top tier guy known for taking very few penalties. Pominville has got a legitimate shot at winning, but it could also go to Detroit's Pavel Datsyuk or Tampa's Martin St. Louis. Datsyuk may have a small advantage of being the only one of the three to be in the post season.
