Iggy was amazing and deserved the Hart Trophy but now will get last laugh as he goes into the Hall of Fame while Theodore is nothing.
He was great offensively and defensively until about 08/09, when his defensive game really started to fall off. But up until then he was a physical, offensively elite, 200 ft player.
A shame he never got his cup win here that he deserved in 03/04.

Why did the NHL and Hockey Canada snub this guy while they fall over themselves to promote other stars?

Tough to call that a snub IMO. At this point Crosby was the best player in the world, and had just captained his team to the Stanley Cup the 7 months prior to those Olympics. Crosby was a deserving captain at that time.
