Forsberg takes home Hart, Hejduk snubbed
June 13, 2003 - By David Smith
Toronto, ON
(AZ) -- Avalanche star center Peter Forsberg was named the
winner of the Hart Trophy as the NHL's most valuable
player for the 2002-03 season, at the annual NHL Awards in
Toronto.
Forsberg beat out fellow Swede Markus Naslund, and Devils
goaltender Martin Brodeur.
Forsberg
was also honored as a 1st Team All-Star, but lost out on
the Pearson to Canucks left wing Markus Naslund.
Right wing Milan Hejduk has to wonder what he needs to do
to earn respect? During the season Hejduk was robbed of a
deserving all-star nomination, and was equally deserving
of making it as a 1st-Team All-Star, but that honor went
to Canucks right wing Todd Bertuzzi; who had less goals,
points. I guess leading the league in goals just isn't
enough to make it as a
1st-Team All-Star
is it?
