Would have liked to see #19 up there, but can't complain about those picks. Crosby missed like 15 games in a shortened season. Yes, he was a monster, but that matters. How Stamkos AND St. Louis miss the ballot is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggsmaggs Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 QUOTE (bmags @ May 10, 2013 -> 09:50 AM) Yup I hate the Ovechkin love. Is he a top-five offensive player in the league? Probably. But he doesn't give two s***s about defense. Toews is way more worthy than him. Ovechkin was plus 2 this year. I am not necessarily saying Toews should be in the top three for the Hart, but I have no doubt in my mind that he is more valuable than Ovechkin.

How Stamkos AND St. Louis miss the ballot is beyond me. I'm OK with Crosby finishing top 3, at least. Stamkos/St. Louis likely split a bunch of votes and the fact they missed the playoffs played into it too. Same goes for Brobrovsky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know their defense was mostly to blame, but you aren't gonna get many MVP votes when your team is that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I remember when the Hawks were about 18 deep into their season opening streak and ESPN wrote an article that the Mighty Blues would be the team that would end up dethroning them in the playoffs Whoops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just got matched up with a team that is perfect for playoff hockey. I'd still put that at the third best team in the West when it comes to the playoff teams.

I was hoping the Sharks or Wings would win, cause I sure as hell didn't want the Hawks to play the winner of the STL/LA series.

In practice today, Bolland took Stalberg's spot on the 3rd line and our old friend Ben Smith replaced Saad on the top line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IlliniKrush Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Haha. In years past they've had series start the day after other series' game 7's. Plus they don't exactly have time to waste in this post season, hence some of the back to backs, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
