I will be voting for Henrik Sedin for the Hart Trophy.
I will be voting for Henrik because The Roberto Luongo is 18th in save percentage and 19th in GAA, and the Canucks still won their division with 49 wins, tying a franchise record.
I am voting for Henrik because Alex Burrows — Alex Freakin' Burrows! — scored 35 goals and Mikael Samuelsson scored nine (30% of his total, a career high) when he played seven games this year on a line with Henrik. Goals are the most important statistic in the game, and Henrik has turned just about everyone he's played with into a goal scorer. (Sorry, we still can't explain Steve Bernier).
I am voting for Henrik because he finished the season with 112 points, and no one had more. Alex Ovechkin has never had more. Sidney Crosby has had more only once. Henrik did it despite being 38th among forwards in per-game ice time, and 43rd in average power play ice time among forwards.
I am voting for Henrik because Daniel Sedin broke his foot, missed 18 games and, in those 18 games, Henrik scored 10 goals. I am voting for Henrik because he plays in the Western Conference, and, simply, it's better. In that better conference, Henrik finished with 21 more points than Brad Richards who had the second most in the west.
I am voting for Henrik because the Hart goes to the "player adjudged most valuable to his team" and if you take Henrik off the Canucks, Ryan Kesler bumps up to the No. 1 line and their No. 2 centre is Kyle Wellwood.
I'm voting for Henrik because he had 83 even strength points which is more than any player has had since Jaromir Jagr put up 95 in 1995-96. That was 14 years ago. Take a moment, and think about that.
I am voting for Henrik because last year he set a career high with 82 points. Going from there to here, and doing it at age 29, is not only stunning, it's virtually unprecedented. No one in the NHL has raised their game more demonstratively. That matters.
I am voting for Henrik because Christian Ehrhoff spent the whole season on the Canucks second power play unit and Kevin Bieksa spent most of his season on the first.
I am voting for Henrik because through the toughest part of his season, when he was quietly playing through a back injury and facing criticism for not producing enough, he still put up 16 points in 14 games.
I am voting for Henrik because I watched all 82 games he played, and I long ago lost count of how many times I picked my jaw up off the floor. I can't count how many times he helped take over a game. Or how many times he played like Geppetto, guiding the puck in and around the net, under legs, and through sticks like it was his puppet on his string.
I am voting for Henrik because he was given an "A" this year and then became the Canucks leader. I am voting for Henrik because for far too long he has been overlooked, under appreciated and undervalued. It shouldn't matter. But it does.
I am voting for Henrik knowing that Ovechkin, Crosby, Ilya Bryzgalov, and Ryan Miller are all worthy candidates. Just not as worthy as Henrik Sedin. Not this year, anyway.
