Agree. I think Jagr is the one guy this topic might really apply to. Consider:Jagr had many years like this.
-- He needed one more lousy point in 1996 to be in the club with only 5 guys who've ever scored 150+ points... And he'd be the only guy between 1991 and today.
-- pace for 125 points in 2000 (won the scoring title anyway with 96), so almost surely would have won the Hart (not Pronger)
-- lost the scoring title and the Hart trophy in the final week of the 2005-06 season
If not for a brief injury in 2000 and a three-game collapse in 2006, Jagr would today have six Art Rosses (same as Mario and Gordie) and three Harts (same as Hull and Lafleur).
