Someone wanted Connor McDavid to win so badly that they wanted the voting to be barred for any other player.

McDavid is on track for numbers that haven’t been seen in decades.” Another fan commented, “The most dominant athlete in pro sports right now and it’s not even close.” 

A fan was of the opinion, “Arguably the best athlete in the world currently nobody dominates their sport the way McDavid dominates hockey. The gap between 1 and 2 is insane”. The community is extremely confident that McDavid will win the trophy for the third time, in the eight years that he has been playing. Do you think it is written in stone at this point? The fact that Connor McDavid will win the Hart?
