Hart 2015 Finalists

[OzzyFan]

Does anyone know who, if anyone was in on more of his team's goals than Crosby? I think he was at 38%.

Voracek is a couple tenths of a percentage off that.

I think the biggest reason Crosby deserves no or gets zero Hart recognition is because his team made the playoffs on the last day of the season. Ovy was head and shoulders the richard winner, Price was head and shoulders the vezina winner, that's why they were nominated. Tavares earned his nomination, in on 34% of his team's goals, runner up for the Ross by 1pt, and had a 35pts offensive gap over the next highest scoring player on the islanders. What an offensive machine.

Karlsson on ice for 131/238=55% goals...

 

[HanSolo]

Deserves: Price
Will probably win: Ovechkin
Can't break precedence for forwards.

 

[OzzyFan]

Karlsson on ice for 131/238=55% goals...

He meant, scored a point on, not on ice for. So Karlsson would be 27.7% vs Crosby's 38%.

 

[WarriorofTime]

I would give it AO8. Goalies just don't deserve it.

 

[CanadienShark]

Unsurprising.

Winner: Price
1st runner up: Ovechkin
2nd runner up: Tavares

 

[CanadienShark]

Price wins it

This is gonna be a great awards show to watch as a Habs fan!

Man if PK could win the Norris, and Price sweeps the major goalie awards and general ones...

We'd have:

Hart, Vezina, Norris, Lindsay, Jennings... now that would be great to watch.

They don't give out the Hart for secondary assists.

 

[UsernameWasTaken]

They're all deserving finalists. Pretty sure Price will win - but I've been wrong before!

Expect Ovie to be left out of every Montreal journalist ballot.

And would it even make a difference?

 

[WarriorofTime]

Yeah I remember Montreal writers screwed over Iginla that one year by leaving him off the ballot so some dude named Jose Theodore could win. So it wouldn't shock me if they did it again with Ovechkin.

Meanwhile, Theodore was off the ballot of four albertan voters.
But hey, don't let facts get in the way of a good story!

Jose Three or More shouldn't have been on ballots. The guy who lead the league in both goals and points being left off is a complete joke.

 

[quoipourquoi]

I'm much more interested in finding out who finished 4th and 5th.

 

[Nathaniel Skywalker]

Can't remember the last time the 4th leading scorer won the hart

 

[WarriorofTime]

Can't remember the last time the 4th leading scorer won the hart

He's first in goals created.

 

[BackToTheBasics]

Can't remember the last time the 4th leading scorer won the hart

Can't remember the last time a player led the league by 10 or more goals and didn't win the Hart. Seriously, has it happened before?

 

[canadianguy77]

He's first in goals created.

I think you mean Backstrom.

 

[InglewoodJack]

Can't imagine Ovechkin not winning– he's a forward after all. I'd love to see Carey win it, but I expect Ovechkin.

 

[Ishdul]

Price will win it comfortably.

It's happened quite a lot, actually. Iginla in 02, Bure in 2000, Hull twice, Lemieux in 89, Bossy in 81... Considering it's a rare achievement, not very much of an indicator.

 

[nhlfan9191]

He's first in goals created.

That stat will get very little consideration. That's just digging for stats.

 

[StroShow]

Price AINEC

 

[QuadrupleDeke]

Switch Valamov's season with Price's and Ovechkin's with Crosby's and Crosby would win the Hart by a landslide.

 

[Dick Whitman]

I disagree.

Seems like the writers valued it since ovechkin and Tavares finished 1-2.
