Is Leon Draisaitl Gonna Break Nathan Mackinnon's HART

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

I think that would be a shocker for most NHL fans though. Goalies and defensemen always have an uphill battle for the Hart, and aside from Hasek's complete domination in the late 90s, goalies only win when no forward had an especially great season. I don't think you can say that this year with MacKinnon and Draisaitl (pre-injury).
Correction, even Hasek didn't win it without all forwards having down years. Even the year he beat out Lemieux who had 122 points, Lemieux had just scored 161 points in 6 fewer games the season before. The other year he won it, the next season, Jagr led league scoring with 102, which was both bad for Jagr himself and also comparatively to earlier seasons, just a bad scoring year.

I do agree but if Mack were to win it after a 20 point drop off from last season I think it counts after the last few seasons of amazing forward production that a goalie with a historical season could win and Vegas reflects that.
