Sidney Crosby wasn't nominated for the Hart Trophy today but as the title says, does it even matter? Hunter gives his answer for what his ballot would've been, even though Sid had no chance of winning the award, thanks to Connor McDavid's insane season. Before that though, Hunter recaps Evgeni Malkin's season and how it looked to be more of a huge outlier than a sign of things to come. He goes into the numbers, plus some of Geno's best moments of the season before providing a prediction for next season. Also touched on: What makes this Islanders run actually go? Do they have a shot against Tampa Bay? What was the injury that kept Casey DeSmith out?
