several interesting candidates this year and of course much can change down the stretch - i went homer on my vote but i think baby bull has a big second half coming up
and yes i realize that i left off pronger, hossa, tanguay, hejduk, theodore, souray, forsberg, sundin, vokoun, etc. - i only get 8 spots afterall
Kovalchuk should not be the MVP, if for no other reason, that the Thrashers are not going to make the playoffs. Rick Nash is having a better year, so if we were going to consider non-playoff teams, Nash is a better choice. Brodeur is a brick wall. MVP and Vezina throphy winner. very little doubt about this 10 shutouts before the all-star break?
Nah, I don't buy the "if they don't make the playoffs" thing. Just imagine how bad the Thrashers would be without Kovalchuk. By the way, I vote for Dale Purinton for MVP. Dale, you missed about a quarter of the season because you were "inadequate", but never gave up. Now thanks to injuries to fragile defensemen like Greg DeVries and Darius Kasparaitis, you have a regular starting spot on the Rangers tremendous defense. Your hard work and endless amount of heart is an inspiration to us all. God bless.
