Thread title says it all...
I was going through all the Hart winners on Wikipedia and remembered how Mario was robbed of the 1989 Hart Memorial Trophy as league MVP.
Lemieux didn't have the supporting cast of the Cup teams yet. And sure, Gretzky was now playing for the Kings.
But both teams made the playoffs! The only thing that could make for a good argument for Gretzky beating Mario out for the Hart was if the Pens had not made the playoffs. Didn't happen.
LOL... And Yzerman won the Lester B. Pearson, with 44 fewer points than Lemieux. He must have backchecked and won faceoffs like there was no tomorrow that whole season.
Scoring leaders
Mario Lemieux - 76 GP, 85 G, 114 A, 199 Points
Wayne Gretzky - 78 GP, 54 G, 114 A, 168 Points
Steve Yzerman - 80 GP, 65 G, 90 A, 155 Points
I'm guessing 8 more goals or one more point would have gotten Mario recognized for his tremendous season, right?
Honestly W*T*F* did Mario do to be hated this much?
Ridiculous...
