Theodore was left off of Hart ballots for good reason - he was nowhere near consensus best GOALIE that season either.
We talk about the vote being tied for the Hart, but the vote was actually tied for the Vezina as well, With Theodore and Roy having the exact same amount of vote points. It's not a surprise that the many voters who thought Theodore wasn't even the best goalie left him out of their top 5 for the Hart.
