No - I thought it was a joke.
I fully acknowledge as the Pope Of Taylorology his all round game when a rover/center isn't fleshed out well mainly because he doesn't get the mentions in game summaries. But as I posted already in this thread when he plays CP get gets those mentions about excellent defensive play.
Bentley won the Hart in the post-war year. Bentley served in the War and missed three peak seasons to it (he was third in scoring in the year before he went to the war, and won the next two Art Ross trophies after it).
He won his Hart in 1946....the top 5 in voting was Gaye Stewart, Bill Duran, Harry Lumely and Jack Stewart damn what a tough year to win lol
All his main competition for awards outside of the Habs like Apps and Schmidt just returned from the war. You can't say with a straight face that you'd expect them to return at their peaks after serving. Credit to Bentley who came back and managed to win, but it's not exactly a great win IMO
