Media members tried to screw with Matthews and McDavid by leaving them off their voting ballots
When Frank Servalli took over and became President of the Professional Hockey Writers Association, he enforce a mandate that was to reveal the ballot choices of it's members for the NHL awards.
Fans are now able to see the choices of the voting writers and can hold them accountable for their picks publicly.
Unfortunately though, this policy isn't enough to stop people from making the decisions that make no sense.
Several members of the Writers Association this year left Auston Matthews and Connor McDavid of their Hart Trophy ballot and a Pittsburgh Penguin writer Seth Rorabaugh actually didn't add either to his ballot, which he has yet to explain why.
there were five phwa members who didn't include Connor McDavid on their hart trophy ballots. these are the voters, and who they included on their ballots.
one voter left both Matthews and McDavid — the two leading vote-getters — off their ballots entirely.
