Unbelievable year for 97.
Also his 4th Ted Lindsay.

its was awesome.. especially with the surprise presentation by Ben's family.. got me a bit misty..
(.. the guy who voted McDavid 5th needs to be replaced in the voting group.. all his other votes become meaningless)
Best yet was the 4th Ted Lindsey.. the most important of the trophies..

It was really inevitable - we thought when they put the voting announcements in that it would keep people honest, but in today's media world, they all just need clicks, so having a ridiculous take gives you the opportunity to write an article that will get rage views. It gives you notoriety and you stand out. That's all that matters any more for these guys because they're all endangered now. It doesn't even matter if people hate you for making bad decisions - they just need engagement and this will get the guy some. Guaranteed he just wants to be famous for his bad decisions.

To be fair, I don't think the PHWA has ever really been the most reputable of organizations when it comes to voting for awards. Gretzky probably should have been the unanimous Hart winner every year from like 1982 to 1987 and was only unanimous once (1982).
