There`s been some discussion in another thread about how there seems to be no database of past voting results for NHL awards. But that doesn`t mean we can`t create one here. My collection of year-end magazines/hockey news goes back to `79, and while it`s not complete I could print the results I have and hopefully some other members here can fill in the missing years or maybe even the years before `79.
So I`ll start off with the results from 1978-79 and if you guys are interested then you can provide some other years` results and we can hopefully build a somewhat rudimentary database of past results here. If nobody`s interested then the thread can always drop to the bottom of the page. No harm done.
Hart Trophy Voting 1978-79:
1- B. Trottier 201
2- G. Lafleur 84
3- M. Dionne 47
4- D. Potvin 46
5- M. Palmateer 18
6- S. Savard 13
7- D. Herron 7
7- B. Salming 7
7- M. Bossy 7
10- D. Edwards 6
The point to remember about the Hart is that technically it`s the most valuable player and not necessarily the best player. For example here three goalies made the top ten, but the two who were voted to the 1st and 2nd All-Star team ( Dryden and Resch) didn`t.
Speaking of Dryden, I was scanning through the results of the other awards that year and noticed he actually received a vote for the Lady Byng. Has that ever happened before?
