That's what you would have said regarding Kadri's 39 points in 36 games too
Is there an outside chance Kadri gets nominated? The way he has played this season....of course there is.
Playing Ottawa a few more times and having silfverberg make horrible passes up the middle in his own zone wouldn't hurt Kadri's chances.
I'd say 39 in 36 is harder to do. We've seen players get hot for 12 games (3 normal weeks) and easily post 17 points. That wasn't my point. My point was if someone said Kadri would get 39 in 36, you would have said the same thing. "No chance". We all would have. So let's just enjoy his ride.
I'm not saying he will get nominated or he should get nominated but we can keep an open mind about it.
And the last sentence was trolling (like you have been doing on this thread) and it was serious. It was a bad play up the middle (first lesson in hockey) that resulted in a goal.
I haven't trolled once. I think Lupul is more important to the leafs than Kadri. Even last night, pretty much all the goals were created by Lupul with Kadri benefiting from being good positions. I think Kadri is inflated a lot by luck right now like Eberle was last year.
Lupul may be more valuable now...but who was more valuable when talking about 2013 season as a whole?
When was the last time a Hart winner didn't play at least 70 games? (pro-rated)
isn't the art ross supposed to reward the player with the most points?
who gives a shit what position people come in scoring. hart is for the mvp.
without kane or crosby, their teams would still be top teams and in the playoffs.
getzlaf and tavares (assuming islanders make the playoffs) you can't say the same about
hard to give stamkos the hart when the bolts are almost in last
without kadri, leafs aren't in a playoff position right now, simple as that. lupul may be more valuable, but injuries can cost you trophies. kadri was more valuable than lupul to the leafs this season.
there is no reason to say kadri isn't a potential hart candidate. he probably wont win it though.
There's no way Crosby is winning the Hart if he misses a quarter of the season. Period.
When was the last time someone won the Hart playing 60 games despite their dominance? Never. The voters have never done that, and they won't do that. Anyone thinking otherwise is delusional.
if you are eligible for the scoring title, you are eligible for the Hart. Crosby will win every major award this year, especially since the Pens are in 1st.
It also doesn't matter if there are more valuable players like Lupul today (and I think even that is debatable)... Lupul hasn't been in the lineup almost the whole friggin season and Kadri has not only carried the team offensively but his presence has created more space for the other guys (JVR, Kessel, Bozak, etc).
There's no way in bloody hell the Leafs would be in the playoffs without Kadri this season. Their goaltending has been shaky until recently and their defense has been meh... when you talk about MVPs who have turned shitty teams around, hard not to at least give Kadri serious consideration.
Of course he won't win it for the silly reason that he's too young, but that's another story. If Crosby doesn't come back, my money would be on Kaner taking it.
