Hank for Hart

The NHL just announced the three finalists for the Hart Trophy and Vancouver Canucks center and Art Ross trophy winner, Henrik Sedin, is one of them:
Sidney Crosby of the Penguins, Alex Ovechkin of the Capitals and Henrik Sedin of the Canucks are the 2009-10 finalists for the Hart Trophy. They also were the top three scorers in the NHL this past season.
The Hart Memorial Trophy is presented annually “to the player adjudged to be the most valuable to his team.” The winner is selected in a poll by the Professional Hockey Writers’ Association in the 30 NHL cities at the end of the regular season.
Congrats Hank!
re: Ovechkin/Hart.
Playoffs shouldn’t have any bearing on who wins the Hart. All those awards are voted at the end of the regular season, just not revealed until the ceremony. The only award voted on after the playoffs start is the Smythe as far as I know.
