no disrespect to AO
how many times have we heard the wings are only good because of a s***ty division?
AO plays in the WORST division ever, and he rips them apart 32 times a year.
AO plays in the run and gun east and is NOT a GREAT 2 way player.
If you don't even make the playoffs your team is worse than 16 of 30 teams, you don't have to be a rocket surgeon to know that it is a little bit easier scoring goals when you don't care about defense.
I'm not saying he doesn't deserve the hart, but he is definitly no run-a-way leader.
But without my wings glasses on i can't think of anyone else that deserves it. (LIDSTROM - kind of a life acievment award)
