As you know, the Hart Trophy's winner, awarded to the most valuable player for his team, is voted by the sports writers. They hold the power as to who should receive the honor.

Reporter Tries to Manipulate Hart Trophy Votes

An anonymous reporter decided to go against the popular opinion and placed McDavid at the fifth position for the trophy.

As you can see, it miserably failed:

"After claiming the Hart Trophy as a unanimous selection in 2020-21, Connor McDavid nearly did it again in 2022-23, receiving the first-place vote on 195 of the 196 ballots for 1,951 voting points. #NHLAwards"

Pastrnak over McDavid?!

We can't help but see that Pastrnak was someone's first choice.

It's admirable, but not enough to tip the scales in his favor.

Pastrnak is a good player, who's been extremely usefull to his team. At the beginning of the year, the Bruins had a lot of injured players and Pastrnak held the fort. But how can he even compete with McDavid?

We can't help but wonder if the person who voted for Pastrnak did it because he genuinely believed he should win, or he simply doens't like McDavid.

Do you think Pastrnak will win the Hart at some point in his career?
