No huge deal, but it's Marian Hossa.
It seems like the easy way out, but it has to be Crosby.
I also think Giguere should be up there. 23-4-5 and in the top 4 of pretty much every statistical category for goalies, not to mention his team is tops in the league. |

D'oh - you got me.
Giguere was on my short list - but I feel Selanne is the Ducks MVP.

| That was a tough list to choose from. I said Jagr though, but it really could've been any of them. |

| Right at the beginning of the season I said Ovechkin was better than Crosby. I stand corrected. Sorry I doubted you Sid. |

| Crosby is great offensively yes, but Hossa is more valuable to his team. Hossa is on 5v5, Powerplay, Penalty Kill, 4v4. He barely catches a break. |

giguere - what?
selanne - who?
CO-MVP's - niedermayer & pronger, without the defensive duo the ducks aren't even playoff contenders! |

| Kinda tough question but i decided on Ovechkin; where or what would the caps be without him? He gives the team posotive publicity, he adds a much needed offensive boost, he has brought the Capitals to a playoff contender(not only him nut he helps alot), and he works his butt off night after night. |

To I HATE CROSBY;
What is yor problem with this kid? Not only is he the best thing to happen to Canadian hockey since Wayne Gretzky, he has also improved his team, improved his defensive game, and night in and night out, the best and most exciting player in the league to watch. Bar none, the league's MVP, as he leads a team of teenagers into a playoff spot and is humble about his game. |

Pronger's current injury has nothing to do with his first half performance. Iginla is also injured right now but is definitely an MVP candidate in my eyes. I chose to exclude Pronger/Niedermayer because they are equally important to their team and I couln't choose one over the other. And personally, I like the way Selanne has played this year. He is amazingly on pace for a better season than last. However, I can't argue with any nomination for Giguere, Niedermayer, or Pronger as all are integral to the success of the Ducks.

| I'd have to say it's tough voting for players like Selanne, Pronger, Niedermayer, Giguere. Even you said it yourself, "without the defensive DUO the ducks..." truely an amazing line and great players but most valuable player to their team individually? If i could vote Niedermayer and Pronger together than quite possibly. Without both the Ducks would be an average team in the league at best; without one, the Ducks would still be in high contension. Saying that, the offensive lines which help Jagr, Hossa and other players have limited my vote. The easy pick (whether people like it or not) is Sidney Crosby. Top of the league in points by a fair margine, bringing the last place team in the league into a fight for the playoffs and having a +/- of +16 already makes him in my mind unarguably MVP at the half-way marker. |

I'd guess about 2% (tops) of ppl on this thing could actually outplay me in hockey...Just b/c I don't like one player doesn't mean I don't "know hockey"......I think I made it perfectly clear the reasons I don't like the kid...Some of them are childish, I know.....But the fundamental reason I HATE CROSBY is b/c of his personality......He is the type of player NOBODY would talk to in the dressing room...He puts on an act like he is the perfect canadian...Family boy, from some redneck province, lives, breathes hockey...would stay on the ice for hour after hour.......Team first attitude, SO POLITE..this is the type of guy I hope all of you would beat up at school (ie a phony...NO ONE IS REALLY LIKE THAT)....Then he goes on the ice, he dives, he bitches...he face washes players...this is the type of player I hope you'd all beat up on the ice..
I think mikhailova, describes him in a more "politically correct" manner than I do.....So if you think I go too far sometimes, I hope you agree with her.....But I will admit he is talented....But nowhere near the best in the league...#'s mean crap (the canes won the cup last year with no one dominating in the numbers category (in the playoffs...stall was #'s guy during the season))......SO WAKE UP

Listen, I don't have a hardcore belonging to NS but you must be kidding me... a redneck Province? YOU'RE 20 YEARS OLD? WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR EDUCATION? I'll be honest dude, you come off as a 14-year old.
And man, to me, that does sound like the perfect Canadian.

humourously enough, I'm 20, yet already have my BSc...and am attending graduate school, so I must be doing something right hahahaha...P.S., read Mcleans magazine and observe where ubc ranks...then try and find a university from NS hahahahahahah...........................clearly I'm just joking around....I'm just saying nowhere in NS has the elegance of say, Vancouver.....And my point is nobody (other than being from NS) is really like that...Despite the stereotypes on TV, In my experience, I've yet to see a player go through 20 hours a week of practice and games an still want more ice time...I was at this training camp where we were on the ice for 8 hours a day for 2 weeks, and I don't recall a single player saying "just one more minute" at the end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

| crosby has more points, a much much better plus/minus rating than most of the other candidates while playing on a young, inexperienced team. That makes him a good bet to win the Hart this year!!! |

Thanks for your insight 4110 (sarcastic) and while I agree that he can be close-minded, I would leave suggestions about what to do with members up to the mods and the admin, especially coming from a guest. Feel free to register though, the more members the better!
Thanks. |

Funny cause the WHL and the OHL are relatively the same....and in those camps I can't recall anyone staying on the ice for more than 4 hours max.....I think ppl have something called, I don't know, STAMINA.....There comes a point when you've given it all, and can't give no more.....It's probably best to take a break after that!!!!!!!
