The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review's Seth Rorabaugh continues to give McDavid very little support for the Hart. (It makes you wonder if he's trying to do his small part to protect Crosby's legacy).

Here's a summary of how Rorabaugh has ranked McDavid for the Hart:

• 2018: he didn't include McDavid (who was named on 79 out of 164 ballots).
• 2019: he didn't include McDavid (who was named on 110 out of 171 ballots).
• 2020: he didn't include McDavid (who was named on 96 out of 170 ballots).
• 2022: he didn't include McDavid (who was named on 190 out of 195 ballots).
• 2023: he was the only voter (out of 196) who didn't give McDavid a first place vote (he ranked him 5th)
• 2024: he didn't include McDavid (who was named on 190 out of 194 ballots)

I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, there should be freedom of thought. There's no point in having so many voters if we expect all of them to vote the same way. On the other hand, we need to watch out for indications of bias.

The bottom line is, Rorabaugh has ranked McDavid in the top four just once in the past seven years. (In his defense, he gave him a 1st place vote in 2021 - literally every voter did that). I think Rorabaugh's voting record deserves an explanation.

The guy is either a complete troll or one of the few who actually takes this seriously (aka Drais and McDavid cant be MVP because they have the other). Did he not vote for Drais in his year? But obviously would have tocircle back and dissect all of his Crosby/Malkin voting too then.

One person left MacKinnon off their Hart ballot (Seth Roraburgh of the Pittsburgh Tribune).

Classic idiot Seth

His ballot was

1. Hellebucyk
2. Pastrnak
3. Panarin
4. Kucherov
5. Josi

His ballot last year was

1. Pastrnak
2. Robertson
3. Sorokin
4. Tkachuk
5. McDavid

His ballot in 2022 was

1. Kaprizov
2. Josi
3. Shesterkin
4. Huberdeau
5. Miller

Over the 3 seasons it's just really hard to rationalize.

No surprise, this guy is a complete clown

I’m convinced he does this crap on purpose every year for attention. Sad that he gets a vote when there are so many qualified people who go without
