With the 50-goal scorer becoming an extremely rare breed, his 53 goals should seal the Hart for him. But it won't.
Media has fallen in love with Jesus Price, and so he'll win it.

Wow - that's not really cherry picking stats much is it? Would you expect any goalie to have a 20% margin in his save % over another goalie? And why does Dubnyks great save % diminish Price's? Actually that.004 spread is a huge margin. The rest of the pack are .001 apart at every step, with a rare .002 margin once in a while.
And GWGs? Assuming you mean the Caps wouldn't have won those games anyway, then without Sean Monahan's 8 GWGs the Flames don't make it. or the Isles don't make it without the 16 points off of Tavares' 8 GWG. But in reality, how many of those games were won by one goal? And How many were more than one goal leads, but the other team got a goal late?
