I was going to pick a reasonable Hart candidate for Toronto, then I realized they didn't have one.

Kessel is obviously never gonna happen but if say Tavares or Toews played for Toronto you bet the hype train would be running.

Toews deserves it more in my mind.

Someone made the point a few pages ago that the resurgence of the islanders into playoff contention was due to the second line.

fuck, Bobrovsky deserves it more than Crosby

The Islanders still wouldn't have been a playoff team without Tavares though.

Don't disagree one bit, hes fucking phenomenal.

Goalies tend suffer in Hart talks since they have their own dedicated award.

I agree though.

because there's a Kate Upton thread in OT, here's a gif that's still held under my ctrl-V

Penguin fans are not allowed to enjoy.

Neither would the Caps without Ovie. Pens easily make the playoffs without Sid.

Having said that, I don't think any of the three deserve the Hart.

Pens fans only get hard by Sidney Crosby goals this time of year. Crosby split two bitches last night. So hot.

It was funny how he never fell down from the hit yet dropped like a stone in OT during Game #3 for the PP.

 

[calder]

The notion of "value" in determining who the league's best player is just stupid and infects every sport unlucky enough to have an award called "most valuable player". Last year's AL MVP award was just hilarious as a result.

And to think, it all stems from hockey writers not really liking Mario as much as they liked the older and more media friendly Gretzky and looking for a reason to give Wayne the Hart the first season Mario had the nerve to be the best player in hockey. "Oh wait, it says most VALUABLE player, and Gretz has all those intangibles!"

Quoting this in case anyone missed it the other night.

Eh. I'd argue Kane over him. I think.

maybe.

That's because you have no fucking idea what you're talking about. As usual.

Would having two media-voted MVP awards dilute things? The Hart for MVP to his team, and one for BPL aka best player in the league?

That's what the Ted Lindsay is for.

No need for the media to vote on everything.

Art Ross/Ted Lindsay/RR

Except this is entirely different than the other two.

Yeah, give Tavares the MVP TO HIS TEAM. Aka Hart. And give Crosby the Lindsay if you have to give him something.

 

[TUSR]

My mistake, I glazed over the media voted part.

Which would invalidate the Art Ross too.

 

[Ricker]

Okay now that my Habs are gone,I will cheer for the Leafs...a long shot I know but I could never cheer for the Bruins,I mean it's a rivalry with the Habs almost as strong as it was with the Nordiques back in the day...so Go Leafs.

 

[Marvie_3]

The Ted Lindsay isn't voted on by the media either, it's voted on by the NHLPA. My point was that the RR isn't an MVP trophy at all. There's very little crossover with the RR winner and the Hart/TL winners. The Art Ross, even though it isn't voted on, is almost a 2nd MVP trophy because whoever wins it wins the Hart. Not every year of course, but it's happened a lot more lately than it did in the 90s.

 

[Alucard]

Crosby will easily take the Ted Lindsay award this season. Of the three Hart candidates, Tavares should probably get that.

Another media-voted best player award might dilute things a fair bit I suppose.

 

[Alucard]

Yeah, give Tavares the MVP TO HIS TEAM. Aka Hart. And give Crosby the Lindsay if you have to give him something.

Really don't think anyone can argue against Crosby getting the Lindsay award. He was clearly head and shoulders above everyone this season...not even from a Pens homer perspective.

Apparently Prust had a rib separate from its cartilage in game 4. Left OT in extreme pain and pushed the rib back in himself.

Anytime someone inserts the word "apparently" into their post, they're normally either reporting something from HFBoards, or exaggerating news that they've heard.

Habs beat reporter is about to file a story on it. Also I know it has nothing to do with why they lost, just sounds painful.

Robyn Regehr broke his nose in Game 1 and re-broke it in Game 5. Apparently

 

[Montresor]

Fraser. =(

Liles better step it up. He brings a completely different dimension to his game. Hopefully his offensive skill comes in handy getting out of our zone.

I'm hoping the Bruins having the last change allows Chara to neutralize Kessel a little more. Carlyle did a good job of sneaking Dough Boy on and off the ice at home where the Bruins couldn't match up and Kessel absolutely torched the Bruins defense on the outside.

It's a tough situation for the Leafs because they need to use their speed to keep the pressure on the Bruins but it usually leads to defensive breakdowns that allow the Bruins to move the puck across the neutral zone with relative ease.

I'm confused, was Prust anything special when he was on the Rangers, or did he just find his place when he went to the Habs?

You've just accepted the Leafs' fate.

Redden out, Bartkowski in. Lines unchanged besides that.

He hasn't accepted anything. We're not eliminated yet.

I never actually heard the clip, only the headline. The way he says it is so calculated, yet the shit that comes out of his mouth is fucking dumb and hilarious.
