Good for Ovechkin, even if he didn't 100% deserve it. Funny how midway through the year everyone said he was on the downslope, wasn't near the level of Crosby (or even a top 10/30 player), and some even said he was untradeable.

Fast forward a couple months later and he wins another Hart Trophy. He's now the first player since Gretzky/Lemieux to win the trophy three times. The only other player to win three or more times since expansion is Bobby Clarke.

Pretty incredible for someone who a few thought was finished or KHL bound at one point.
