I think the same applies for any player who only gets a vote or two locally. It's homerism. It's far less deserving and far less meaningful than getting votes outside of your market. And if the only votes you get are votes that are likely from a bias source then you really didn't get consideration at all. Jiri has had an amazing year but judging on the support in this thread I think even Flames fans realize he hasn't had a Hart trophy season in comparison to some other players around the league. At the end of the day though I'm sure Jiri, his teammates, the organization, and all Flames fans will gladly take playoffs over Hart consideration any day.
