Kucherov is not good defensively and this absolutely should (and will) be held against him by some voters.Why does Kucherov have more goals allowed against 5v5 than any other forward in the Atlantic Division, Eastern Conference, and the league?
Mack is not better just a different player than Kuch.
It is possible because kucherov has more points and more points per game.So....overall their total scoring is very close (with 6pts with a game to play for MacK)......and you are going to try and paint a picture that Kuch signifcantly outscored MacK in games against teams in the top 10, while at the same time, also scored more against the weaker teams? How is that possible? Unless you are cherry picking.....more against top 10 and more against bottom 10, but we'll forget all about the teams in the middle? Not sure if bottom 10 is even true or top 10 for that matter, but I'll take the stats you provided at face value, which suggests Kuch would have scored 94pts against teams outside the top 10 and MacK would have scored 112pts.
As note, who cares if there are more teams at the bottom in the West? Overall there are more mediocre teams in the middle in the East.....the Eastern teams have given up more goals than the teams in the West....that's just a factual data point....I'm happy to ignore it, but don't use it as an argument for Kuch suggesting it's harder for him to scorer because of the better competition.....that's simply not true.
MacK is good friend of Crosby'sCan you make up some stats to prove Mackinnon is a better choice for the mvp at least?
Ok....stats you provided showed Kucherov scoring 50pts against top 10 teams and Mackinnon scoring 26pts against top 10 teams. So how is it possible that Kucherov has a 6pt current overall lead in pts, a 24pt lead against top 10 teams and somehow, still leading in pts against teams outside the top 10?It is possible because kucherov has more points and more points per game.
The majority of voters?Does anyone else still not see Kucherov is the mvp?
I get your point but TB even without Kuch is still a hell of alot better than San Jose, Chicago and the Ducks and probably Montreal as well.Granted I haven't watched many Colorado games this year. So this is a genuine question and kind of an argument for Kuch winning the Hart.
Does Colorado make the playoffs if MacKinnon goes down for an extended period of time? Because I can tell you right now, if Kuch went down, Nashville would be laughing all the way to the lottery with Tampa's first round pick.
Only 6 more points. Mack must make up the difference against some teams.It is possible because kucherov has more points and more points per game.
6 points is 4 games when you average around 1.7 points per game. I would be shocked and announce my vote for MacKinnon if he gets 7 points tonight. Same for.mcdavid if he gets 13.Only 6 more points. Mack must make up the difference against some teams.

Top 5 nonsense and bias reasons we have learnedThese are the posts I do not understand. Easily? What makes you think it an easy choice?
Lay it out for everyone. Thanks.
If he has 7 points tonight...give him all 3 awardsTop 5 nonsense and bias reasons we have learned
1.You know he plays center but loses more draws then he wins.
2. He is due one based on past hart snubs.
3. He is Canadian .
4.He is going to at least 7 points tonight.
5.The west is better except it isn't. Less average points for conference. They have the four worst teams in the nhl. They have less teams at 110 points or more.
