Love is a duel
ABOUT Syl Apps & Hart Award : While he was handed a Hart for what Hockey Outsider says to be a "political" reason (I don't know about it, so I trust him on this matter...), he probably lost a Hart to "political" reasons too, when the Amerks folded and the award was given to Tommy Anderson.
I'm sure mixing up Apps and Kennedy was just a typo. Kennedy was probably never the best player in any given season, but he was certainly an all-time great and deserved more than a paltry three 2nd team all star selections, hence the Hart in '55.
I've got Apps as the best Leaf of all-time, followed shortly by Chuck Conacher. Apps' combination of skill, leadership and success does it for me, not to mention the fact that the guy lost two prime years to the second world war. Conacher wasn't the winner that Apps was, Horton not the leader and Kennedy not the talent. Apps had it all.
