FlamesNation Radio Episode 27: Handicapping the Hart Trophy race
It’s FlamesNation Radio! As the season winds down, Ryan and Shane sit down, have a beverage, and discuss the 10 players they feel are the most deserving of Hart Trophy consideration.
They break things down in detail, from four more fringey candidates all the way up to the three players they think are the trophy favourites. Plus: unsolicited praise for the Edmonton Oilers.
