NJTank Posted April 13, 2010 Author Share Posted April 13, 2010 NJTank, who would be the runner up for the Jack Adams award?My guess would be Terry Murray but Tippett is the hands down choice to win it. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendan Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Joe Sacco and Barry Trotz should be the other nominees for the coach of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvus Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Ovechkin is exciting, but MVP? Take away all his goals, and the Caps still lead the league in scoring. Does that really fit the definition of Most Valuable Player to his club? The Hart is not for "most talented" or "most exciting" but for the the most valuable player to his team. Take Ryan Miller or Henrik Sedin out of their team's lineups, and both of their teams probably don't even make the playoffs. Given the quality of his wingers, I'd put Crosby ahead of Ovechkin on the Hart list as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFB Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 In my biased opinion, Jimmy Howard should win the Calder. Without him, the Red Wings probably miss the playoffs. I also believe that Pavel Datsyuk should easily win the Selke... There isn't a better defensive forward in the game. Here are just two examples of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_u46hb8-rI&NR=1While most of his plays don't turn into breakaway goals, he has a knack for stealing the puck in the neutral zone. At the start of this video in the post below, you can see him just dismantling Jonathan Toews at center ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zer0dotcom Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I also would put Jimmy Howard up for Rookie of the Year. 37 wins, helping Detroit turn things around and make the playoffs, he's done the best of any rookie this season, including the highly hyped Tavares and Hedman.I too will jump on the 'Ovechkin not for MVP', or however poorly worded that bandwagon is. The Caps all around were a great team this season. Take Ovie away and they were still good enough to make the post season and make some noise.I completely agree with Sedin for MVP, it's about time one of the twins did something, and the Canucks needed it otherwise they wouldn't be considered a playoff team with Roberto's's post-Olympic performance alone.

NEW.ERA Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Ovechkin would finish 4th on my MVP ballot.Hank Sedin made everyone he played with much much better and in the meantime had the best season ever by a Canuck. Then it would be Crosby, pretty much did it all this season with Malkin taking a step back.Both Ryan Miller and the Breeze had great season's Bryzgalov can be thanked for most of the on Ice Success for the Coyotes this season, Without him they'd be sunk. 1. H.Sedin2. Crosby3. Bryzgalov4. Ovechkin5. Miller  JETS|PACK|JAYS|NUFC|BAMA|BOMBERS|RAPS|ORANJE|  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still MIGHTY Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Yeah as much as I like Ovechkin, I'd put Bryzgalov, Miller, and Sedin over him this year.The Caps were far and away the best team, even without Ovechkin. Hell they scored 7 times I think in 2 of the games he was out.I'd go1. Miller2. Bryzgalov3. Sedin4. Ovechkin5.

WSU151 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Ovechkin is exciting, but MVP? Take away all his goals, and the Caps still lead the league in scoring. Close, but not quite true. Take away his goals, and the Caps would still lead the East in scoring, but not the league. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

NJTank Posted April 13, 2010 Author Share Posted April 13, 2010 Alex Ovechkin scored 50 goals and is the best player in the league, he played on the best team and this year he showed he can hit and be a bruiser on the ice instead of just a goal scorer. Coming off two MVPs its hard to vote against that. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElwoodCuse Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Alex Ovechkin scored 50 goals and is the best player in the leagueBut that's not what the award is for. The Caps went 7-2-1 without Ovechkin this year. Semin and Backstrom are really coming into their own, the Capitals are not a one-guy team anymore. The Penguins minus Crosby and to a much larger extent the Canucks minus Sedin would be pretty bad. That's why Sedin should win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Award.Goodness, it's not like I'm picking Nick Lidstrom to win the Norris Trophy or Babcock to win the Adams... back off. I chose a rookie goaltender who won 37 out of 61 starts and the two-time returning Selke Winner to repeat due to stats like this:NHL Takeaway Leaders (2010) 1 Pavel Datsyuk DET 1322 Ryan Kesler VAN 83 3 Kyle Okposo NYI 784 Daniel Alfredsson OTT 76 5 Mark Streit NYI 76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Granted, I'm not advocating for Ovie for Hart, I honestly dont care whether he wins it or not this year, but you guys spit out how many goals we would've scored without him, our record without him. Those are all well and good, but could you honestly predict how the Caps would play if they were without him for the whole year? I wouldnt want to think about it to be sure. Yeah we're still a good team, but Ovie pushes us over the edge not with just his scoring, but his leadership. Honestly I think the team wouldnt be half as good as they are. Thats my 2 cents. Carry on.

rams80 Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Yep. The "Should Have Retired or Been Let Go Two Years Ago." Award.No, that's the Chris Chelios Memorial Award, which is a piece of splintered hotel furniture.
