Rock-solid blueliner finally got his due with first Norris Trophy win in June ... Trophy case includes three Stanley Cup rings and an Olympic gold medal ... There aren't many who can get the puck as quickly from one one end of the ice to the other ... Playing upward of 26 minutes a game is ordinary ... Should play a significant role on Canada's power play.
