"[Alex] Ovechkin has been named the best player in the NHL in a vote of his Russian peers, a vote of his NHL peers (the Sporting News Player of the Year), a vote of NHL journalists (USA Today panel), The Hockey News and by Phil Esposito (the NHL Home Ice Espo Award).

Albeit so very unlikely at this point, it will be pathetic if somehow the media went with Malkin – not that he isn’t deserving, but Ovechkin is just a tiny bit (tons) more worthy.

If they did go with Malkin — and the reason it was pathetic was because his team lost tonight — I’d be OK with that.

The voting’s based on regular season only.

Oh, I know. It was just another opportunity to root against the Pens.

Speaking of which, wasn’t able to go/watch/listen tonight. We have read some really good reviews on the talent up there from you guys that went to game 3. Anyone go to this one who could talk about who still looked good in a loss? Like to see who doesn’t give up.

Sigh. Hockey was so much fail tonight … and speaking of fail, diving penalty on Pinner whut? What was up with that?

Really. What a disappointing night on the rinks. Maybe if I hadn’t sprung to watch the game. That diving penaly was so bogus it’s pathetic.
