Well deserved
Glad this was a normal one not a prank
as an oilers fan, I was hoping for Mcdavid, but Kucherov is absolutely deserving of the hart after 7 years. Congrats to Kuch!
I’m confused where are the cops?
Meh
His excitement is unmistakable!
Finally
was hoping Celebrini got it but great job Kuch!
So how is Cooper the best coach if he apparently has the best player and the best goalie as well? Marty St. Louis has youngest team in NHL and in same division and they finish with same amount of points as the team with a Hart and Vézina winner. I never understand how this criteria works.
They got Phil to get on a jet ski with the trophy James Bond style. That is fantasticand so Tampa! ⚡
Celebrini robbed
Congratulations Kucherov on winning your second hart trophy as MVP. He deserves it
McDavid deserved it 100 times more than Kuch did
About time after getting robbed 2 years in a row
Another lifetime achievement award for a Tampa Bay Lightning player or coach, what the hell NHL? How about giving these awards to the players who deserved them in the season they deserved them. Watch the Sabres squeak into the playoffs next year and Lindy Ruff wins the Jack Adams award, par for the course. Something is fishy, Tampa Bay wasn’t that good this season…
So the heart trophy is for best diver, right?
Spent a lot of awards time in Tampa. I love it
McDavid deserved that
Let’s gooo kuch!!
Well deserved. Thought MacKinnon would get it but he slowed down after the Olympics while Kucherov was on absolute fire.
This is so boring….the other trophy presentations at least a bit more exciting
Much deserved 👏
Outstanding player, garbage human being
At least he got humbled in April and May
A very deserving recipient.
