OVECHKIN JUGGLES THE PUCK (4)
His footwork is on display elsewhere in the Division Finals, but let’s not forget that it’s Alex Ovechkin ‘s shot that got him where he is today – and it got him past an adorable munchkin tossing out a well-known pest in the first round. The hand-eye coordination, the concentration, the net presence, all good things and all part of why the reigning Richard Trophy-winner is just so fun to watch.
But are those mad puck-handling skillz enough to get him past…
GREEN’S FILTHY TOE-DRAG (3)
There were some close races in the first round of this tournament, but none were as hotly contested as the battle between Mike Green’s toe-drag around Matt Cooke and Evgeny Kuznetsov’s exquisite pass to Tom Wilson. A whopping 526 votes were cast to decide the winner of a matchup that was, at times, a dead heat… and when all was said and done, the margin of victory for Green was a mere four votes.
Will the race be as close this time around? That’s up to you fine people.
Now… GO VOTE!
