Yo Quick - use the AE project file for the Canucks moe.gif and just copy the motion tracking keyframes to the Habs, Wild logo
I don't understand why Crosby is in there. To me, the most valuable player should be someone you absolutely cannot do without, someone utterly indispensable to the team.
Ovechkin and Tavares were clearly that for the Caps and Isles this year. Neither team makes the playoffs without their respective star, but the Pens did pretty fucking fine without Crosby.

Crosby is there because Bettman is trying to copy the NBA's star marketing plan. The same way the NBA constantly pushes LeBron James as the best player ever, the NHL is going to give this totally undeserved award to Crosby so that next year the can hyped him up as the reigning Hart trophy winner in TV commercials.

Nice Tom Wilson is making his NHL debut tonight on our 4th line.

Western conference players get no love
When Ovechkin wasn't playing well, the Caps were terrible. As soon as he turned it on, the rest of the team took off with him. Green coming back helped out too, but I'd argue that the entire team went down and up with his play.

Those postseason mind games again.
It actually has been a night and day difference since last year and this year in regards to how we play against Boston.
Jon Snow does know things hue

Ovechkin should win this easily. He was by far the biggest impact to his team and his absurd level of play was the only thing that made his team relevant and make it into the playoffs.

Marchand of all people? Who am I supposed to hate now?
And yet my Leafs hating friends call me crazy that I won't admit that Boston has dominated Toronto the entire series.

I can't see how you can say Crosby wasn't a huge impact to the team, regardless of whether we won without him or not. He missed almost a quarter of the season and he only lost the lead in assists and points by like 2 or 3 even with the people passing him playing all 48 games. To make it sound like he didn't have a huge impact this year is beyond stupid.

Looks like we are getting some payback from the hockey gods for losing Spezza, Karlsson, Anderson etc. for most of the year. We managed to survive long enough for everyone to return.
Meanwhile the Habs' health went in the opposite direction lulz

This is true, the impact of Nabakov playing well had a lot to do with the Isles success also.
That being said, JT did have 47 points in 48 games, 15 goals on the road (Isles set a franchise record for road winning percentage this year) and 5 game winners. He deserves the nomination, even though Ovechkin is the clear winner.
I'm guessing there will be a Hart in JT's future, just not this year.

And the Pens continued to head towards the #1 seed after he was injured. What is your point?

Ya, you're right. People who only lose their lead in assists and points in the last couple of games in the season after playing about 12 games less obviously have no impact on their team or its performance.

Maybe it's only a half tuck?
We already established on multiple infractions that he knows nothing.

That's great for him to almost have won the Ross despite being out for so long but that isn't going to convince me that he should win it over Ovi or Tavares, not by a long stretch

Both have been more reliable this year. But that isn't saying much when you're looking at their production in the last couple years. Stalberg is fast but when he's using that speed on a breakaway more often than not he'll miss the net by a couple feet.
Bickell is starting to be more of a physical presence, which is good because it gives him something to do

I'd be wary of paying money for players who produce on a stacked team. They probably won't do as well elsewhere.
Tavares should win it IMO. The guy gets little recognition for how good he is playing on a shoestring budget team like the Islanders.
Ovechkin as well, but seeing Ovie coasting on that goal I find it hard to give him an award, especially when he wears a C.

rofl.....why would Chicago trade Toews? Come on
Is Jon Snow Stark enough for the Leafs to adopt the "Winter is Coming" motto?

HFboards nuff said.
If you really wanted to discuss that:
Toews for Rielly, Gardiner, 2 firsts, another top prospect we have and someone off our regular roster of forwards then MAYBE the Hawks would think about it before they laughed and said no.
