Josh Harding was one of three finalists for the Masterton Trophy announced Tuesday. Harding missed a large chunk of the season after he was disclosed he'd been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Perhaps most amazingly, Harding came off the bench and started all six games of the Wild's opening-round playoff series after Niklas Backstrom suffered a sports hernia during warmups before Game 1. While fellow finalists Sidney Crosby and Adam McQuaid have their own tales and justification for their nominations, it'll be tough to be Harding for this one.
