Goalies shouldn't win the hart because their position is so fundamentally different from everyone else on the ice. Goalies have the Vezina and Jennings awards.
Defenseman do not have that same vast difference in the type of game they play.
Giordano's been so far and away the best player on a vastly inferior team that almost everyone picked to finish in the bottom three or four this year. He's leading the league in D scoring and is leading his team in scoring.
Price is doing great things with Montreal, but they are a conference final team from last year, it is not a surprise at all that they are good this year.
Rinne in Nashville has a better argument, but the defense of Webber, Jones and Josi undermines his Hart case a little.
Giordano for Hart. That is all.
