Not all the seasons are the same in strength of competition. 2012 is ridiculously weak. 2024 is not.

 

[Arthur Morgan]

Stamkos gets extra votes cause he's going up against a Leaf.
Truth is scoring is only up because there's ALOT more talent in the NHL now then there was back in 2011/12

edit: also not saying Matthews should be over Stammer. I actually didnt vote because I dont wanna be biased but for sure Stammer wins this not only cause u can argue he deserves it but because of who he's up against.

 

[Midnight Judges]

IMO it's quite close.

Interestingly, they both adjust to 68 goals according to hockey reference.

You might be right, but I think you have to support that statement with some surrounding facts in order to make it impactful.

I haven't voted yet. And if there was a "tie" option, I'd probably be clicking that right now.
