Just realized posting an image is a pretty effective way to bypass the profanity filter.
Nice.

Quoting: Bobcat205
Hart Trophy Finalists:

Auston Matthews, C, Toronto

Connor McDavid, C, Edmonton

Igor Shestyorkin, G, New York

I don't know who my vote goes to, tbh. I've watched Auston the most, but on the other hand i have been pretty high on Shesty, and Connor McDavid is Connor McDavid.

Imo, this might be Matthews’s to lose, Shesty towards the end of the year slumped a bit and Matthews’s goal scoring feat is arguably more impressive than what McDavid did


Matthews’ to lose, for sure.

From this angle, the Trouba-Crosby hit looks like a shoulder hit with an unfortunate result

Or, just maybe, the Leafs are really good 🤷‍♂️





could be it but vs toronto in the regular season he's got a 2.96gaa, 919sv% vs toronto now in the playoffs he's got 3.65gaa, .880sv%. besides the stats his lateral movement looks slow. maybe he's just off to a cold start but i suspect maybe something with his hips/groin.

In the eyes of most people, goals > assists. That’s why unbiased, I think matthews wins.

The best part is, there’s no bad choice this year. All three have legitimate reasons to win

This is it! This was a great year if your a fan of a lot of offence. So really good performances by Dmen and forwards. Which I am

Honestly glad the islanders missed the playoffs because if we made it there would’ve been a chance Leah Hextall called one of our games


I think Wayne Gretzky's daughter, or another lady with the last name Gretzky, said the right thing, if your going to push womens rights in hockey put someone in thats actually good, do some interviews lol. This is bad for women in the sport lol. Stupid. I'm an advocate for just using whoever is good. Like the other men and women who are good at there job and could call this have to be absolutly pissed

“But he was off balance and Trouba couldn’t help that…” as he has his elbow clearly out… After the elbow to the back of Jake’s head before that!

That actually doesn’t show anything, it shows Trouba’s elbow is in front of Crosby, it doesn’t indicate contact, it’s one of those pictures where you assume contact is made due to depth perception

Intent is irrelevant when he elbowed Jake in the back of the neck too. And what incentive do we have not to retaliate and take a run at Panarin or Fox?

Rangers know this too well. More or less a knockdown effect from that Washington game.

Predictions:

EDM vs LA, Kings in double overtime
MIN vs STL, Blues in regulation with an EN goal
TOR vs TBL, Leafs with late 3rd go ahead goal
CAR vs BOS, Bruins in OT

Keys:
TOR vs TBL doesn’t matter; each period/ result has been “bipolar” ass games. Flip a coin man.
CAR vs BOS is coming down to Swayman
MIN vs STL is coming down to Fleury
EDM vs LA is I’m picking Quick over Smith

I have watched it more times than I care to admit. lol

For my eyes, it is a dirty hit where his elbow is flying out. I think we can all be entitled to see things differently.

I am probably seeing this also through a player who I feel is a dangerous hitter (Trouba) and a player who I don't like to see getting another concussion (Crosby).

16.

Auston Matthews scored 16 more Goals than Connor McDavid this season. If McDavid had reached 50G, there could at least be an argument made.

Game. Set. Match.

I dunno if it's gonna be as decisive as you say.

While it is true that Matthews scored more goals, McDavid scored more points total (123, with 79 assists).

I feel like it's gonna be close, but Auston still wins.

Some folks think McDavid should basically have the Hart Trophy named after him and that he should win every year. I get it. He's the best player in the world, by a significant margin. I don't wanna keep going back to the definition of what it means to be the most valuable player to your team, but there's gotta be a difference between best player and most valuable player. Oftentimes, there's no difference - like last season.

Desperation time for Edmonton. I have a feeling both of them will be seeing a lot of Phillip Danault tonight.
