without looking I think that's 4 First Team All-Star Selections and 2 Second Team All-Star Selections for Sid.

Not sure about the second, but I believe the article linked above confirms your first point.

Considering the competition at C, as well as the fact Crosby missed chunks of seasons during his best years, that's pretty damn good.

Decent showing for Letang. No matter how frustrating he is at times, he's definitely in that tier.

Letang was better than Doughty this season, and I criticize the **** out of him for his penchant for idiocy and his inconsistency.

It's crazy to me that Doughty beat Burns (my pick) and Karlsson (who had such an awesome season offensively that I wouldn't be upset if he got the nod).

 

[OnMyOwn]

not bad for a guy that wasn't even selected to the all-star game this season, eh?

 

[Zero Pucks]

Great. Now that WhiteWalker guy will be telling us we have to get rid of Letang because he did made the second all star team and not the first.

Not bad? It's downright miraculous for a washed up superstar with poor leadership skills.

Letang GWG game 6 < Puck Norris Trophy.

 

[flaneur]

Happy for Letang. He deserves the nod.

(Crosby being named was expected)

 

[Giskard]

And Fleury 8th with 19pts. Not bad for a backup

 

[Vujtek]

Well deserved for both.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Very happy for both! Congrats boys!

Is there a place to see where Crosby finished in Hart voting each year?

I imagine the only time he didn't receive any votes was the year he played 22 games.

Congrats to both

Look at the Award-section on the right side next to season stats. This season's voting results are still missing from there though.

Sidney Bossby, he really picked it up at the end. I don't know why people were doubting him.

It's crazy how good he's been his entire career, yet he's only been one of the top-3 finalists for the Hart 5 total times in his career (won twice, finished 2nd twice, 3rd once).

I still say he got robbed twice; the first was the Sedin year when Sid scored 51 goals and 109 points, and the second was the lockout year when he lost to Ovechkin because Orpik hit him in the face with a shot.
