Hall’s Hart feels virtually unprecedented but there’s a precedent: 1934, with Joliat’s Hart, and 1935, with Shore’s second Hart or Goodfellow’s Hart or Pratt’s Hart. O’Connor too. There are actually lots of them, they’re just from way back when.
Verdict
Controversial.

The voters were weirdly split. It’s hard to see why Crosby’s case is so much better than, so many others’.

- John Tavares: 4 1st place votes, 47.07% total vote points
- Devan Dubnyk: 6 1st place votes, 26.11% total vote points
- Sidney Crosby: 8.79% total vote points
Look, I get that Price was the most valuable goaltender this year. What I don’t understand is, there’s an MVG every year, why this year is he more deserving of the Hart than some other MVGs (with higher GPS)?
Verdict:
Controversial.
