If Hall doesn't win its a travesty. Took an organization on his back ALL year. No other player in NHL can say that.

Can easily be said for Mack (who had 4 more points in the season) the devils were a deeper team than the Avs as well

This is the first time I’ve seen them nominate the three players who were actually most valuable to their team, not the three players who had the best season. Love it

Would love to see Hall win it, but if I take off my Homer glasses I would give it McKinnon by the narrowest of margins.

Got a feeling it’s going to be Hall for the Hart, especially with the Devils pegged as a bottoms 5 team preseason. McDavid wins the Lindsay.

and this is the only narrative repeated over, and over, and over, in the campaign for Hall's candidacy. Its nothing next to as impressive as the 47 point improvement Mack led his team to. And when you play center ice, and are the best player in the nhl this year as mackinnon was (without injury he wins art ross silencing any doubt), you make your teammates a hell of alot better which Hall didnt achieve.

Its amazing what a shoo in Mackinnon is even with the deepest Hart field in memory, his missing so much time to injury, the massive injuries to his team's best goalies and defense-men, the thunder dome of the Central division, the youngest team in the league he was leading, starting 7 rookies on the regular. leading the league with 12 gamewinning goals, including the last game of the year to seal the playoffs with a bar down snipe.

just count your stars you won the draft lotto and have caused oiler nation a migraine, jersey fans. you know deep down Hall can only win on the power of eastern media unable to see past their noses

all that being said, Hall is the only legitimate challenger i see Mack has and I will be happy for him and the Devils if all the narratives ive explained above go ignored for the hall/hischier meme

That's fair. It is a toss-up. I really do not care who wins, if you are nominated, you are a stellar player. Been a while since either team had a hart nominee. I understand the oilers had a horrible year, but MCD is the best player in the game and I was suprised he was not even a nominee.

Hall didn't have the kind of line mates Mck had, simply put...Hall did just about the same with A LOT less.

If the NHL stays true to definition, it should be Hall.

Yeah, but MacKinnon eats stem cells.
