I mean it doesn't matter that Theodore won the Hart trophy in 2002 we all know Jarome Iginla was the best player in the NHL that season. Hmm now I think about it maybe we are on to something with black people getting slighted. |
I literally, to this day, didn't make that connection. Jarome was always just Jarome to me. I just thought it was East bias and vote tampering by the writers.
I wonder if some of the voters were in fact racist? I was so naive.
