NHL.com Trophy Tracker - Hart Trophy

[Canadienna]

The top three are right but in reverse order imo.

Lol Huby shouldnt even be a finalist. If he wins you may as well rename the trophy Art Ross 2.

Why shouldn't he? He has 23 more points than anyone on a team that's fighting for 1st in the league.

 

[BonMorrison]

Missing hot ass Roman Josi

 

[Chips]

I'll never understand how these house leaguers at The Athletic got it in their heads that they are some kind of gold standard when it comes to NHL analysis. There's more to the game than Excel spreadsheets and flawed algorithms, Dom. Good call on the Leafs last year - your model sure killed it on that one.

Please create a compilation of Huberdeau’s play in the defensive zone this year. Given his minutes this deep in the season it should be a long one.

Sure but he's also played 13 more games than Barkov, plays wing and isn't a good defensive player. He's not having a better season than any of McDavid, Shesterkin or Matthews.

 

[Zybalto]

One of the "expert" voters of that poll has Ovi in first place.

Sadly, a good reflection of the state of current hockey media.

 

[nowhereman]

No wonder no NHL team employs this clown

This kid just oozes alpha nerd superiority. He seems like the kind of guy who spends more time tracking spreadsheets than actually watching games and is damn proud of it. He needs to work on his brand.

 

[Dust]

It'll be interesting to see how much emphasis is put on goals vs overall points especially if McDavid starts to separate himself in the points race. I have a feeling that voters will find a way to not vote for McDavid though, as he's almost expected to win the Art Ross annually, he needs to do something more special to get votes.

 

[NotAVacuumSalesman]

One of these days the writers at NHL.com will get it right...

They picked Patrick Kane last year at the half way mark. Kane shut them down with an interview and made it known who the real MVP was. LOL

I don't understand how Huberdeau is leading this vote when he plays on a powerhouse of a team in the Panthers. The real MVP of that team is Barkov.

It's really a 2-man race between Shesterkin and Matthews imo.

I can see Connor snatching the Hart trophy DOWN THE STRETCH as he's been playing well recently. As evident from the previous years, he plays a lot better in the second half of the season. I wouldn't be surprised if he wins it this season.

 

[majormajor]

Shesterkin is having a prime-Hasek type season at this point, he ought to be the clear favorite.

I'd also have Josi in the running ahead of some of those forwards.

 

[thaman8765678]

This should be a 2 horse race. Huberdeau doesn't even belong in the 2 horse race on his own team let alone the league.

Which 2 players? I have Shesterkin and Gaudreau as the clear most deserving.

 

[Our Lady Peace]

Shesterkin, Kaprizov, Josi, Ovechkin IMO. JT Miller if the Canucks make the playoffs and move into round 2 led by him.

Trophies are voted on before playoffs begin.

 

[Three On Zero]

It should be Shesty, Hubby or Matthews

 

[Our Lady Peace]

Trophies are voted on before playoffs begin.

Even better case. Miller has been a major leader and contributor in a turbulent season.

 

[Coffey]

Doesn’t matter. These clowns are wrong every single year because they try to go against the grain.

The actual voters will still say McDavid when all is said and done.

 

[summer tooth]

Nice to see this prestigious trophy going to the man who deserves it most!

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

Even better case. Miller has been a major leader and contributor in a turbulent season.

Miller is good, but I don't think he's Hart-caliber this year.

 

[Hockey Crazy]

The guy was obnoxious as all hell about the Leafs chances in last years playoffs. After they went out in Round 1 he was silent.

You understand how probabilities work, right?

 

[Apotheosis]

im pissed Matthews got that throw away suspension other wise he could have made the Art Ross race interesting tbh

 

[Dominance]

Huberdeau deserves this recognition and it is absolutely delicious reading the posters still trying to tear him down. I hope he manages to snag the Ross this year because the Hart should go to Shesterkin.

I'm not a huge Dom fan but didn't almost everyone in the world picked Toronto that series? This isn't something specific to him

Also, in his preview for that series he literally said if there's a team that can collapse it's Toronto and if there's a team that can play the underdog it's the Habs

 

[Freudian]

Right now:

1) Shesterkin
2) Josi

If they give it to a forward out of habit, it will be undeserved.

 

[KareemTrustfund]

Matthews be like

 

[thomast]

Roman Josi has to be a finalist. He is everything for his team, is one of the best players in the league this year if not the best. To me it’s a race between Shesty and Josi right now.

Shesty
Josi

Matthews

Huby
