Here's a list of seasons where there were two Hart finalists on the same team:
1930 - Boston - Lionel Hitchman 2nd, Cooney Weiland 3rd
1941 - Boston - Bill Cowley 1st, Dit Clapper 2nd
1945 - Montreal - Elmer Lach 1st, Mauric Richard 2nd
1951 - Detroit - Red Kelly and Gordie Howe tied for 3rd
1953 - Detroit - Gordie Howe 1st, Red Kelly 3rd
1955 - Toronto - Ted Kennedy 1st, Harry Lumley 2nd
1960 - Chicago - Bobby Hull 2nd, Glenn Hall 3rd
1963 - Detroit - Gordie Howe 1st, Terry Sawchuk 3rd
1964 - Detroit - Norm Ullman 2nd, Gordie Howe 3rd
1967 - Chicago - Stan Mikita 1st, Bobby Hull 3rd
1968 - Chicago - Stan Mikita 1st, Bobby Hull 3rd
1969 - Boston - Phil Esposito 1st, Bobby Orr 3rd
1971 - Boston - Bobby Orr 1st, Phil Esposito 2nd
1972 - Boston - Bobby Orr 1st, Phil Esposito 3rd
1973 - Boston - Phil Esposito 2nd, Bobby Orr 3rd
1974 - Boston - Phil Esposito 1st, Bobby Orr 3rd
1982 - NY Islanders - Bryan Trottier 2nd, Mike Bossy 3rd
1988 - Edmonton - Grant Fuhr 2nd, Wayne Gretzky 3rd
2001 - Pittsburgh - Mario Lemieux 2nd, Jaromir Jagr 3rd
Notes:
Orr and Esposito were co-finalists five times in as span of six years. Howe was a co-finalist with a teammate four times (twice with Kelly), and Hull was a co-finalist with a teammate three times (twice with Mikita).
This has become an increasingly rare phenomenon. It's only occurred three times in the last four decades, and once in the past 25 years.
In 1955, Montreal had Maurice Richard finish 3rd, Jean Beliveau finished 4th, Doug Harvey finished tied for 5th, and Bernie Geoffrion finished 7th.
In 1965, Detroit had three of the top four players. Hull won the Hart, but Ullman was second, Howe third, and Crozier fourth.
