Wow!

Way to go, Ovie!!!!!!!

Hey guys Habs fan here. I just wanna say congrats to Ovi he was very deserving due to the way he put the team on his back. I have loved him his whole career (my fav forward in the NHL) and hope he keeps up this kind of play!!

 

[Liberati0n*]

Too bad he lost the more important one.

@mikemorrealeNHL: Ovi is 8th player in League history to win the award three times, joining Gretzky, Lemieux, Clarke, Orr, Gordie, Shore and Morenz.

Haha, perfect gif! Way to go, Ovie!

lol wat a joke, cant even pk 5 on 3, hes no eric condra, its unfair only boston is allowed stuff

#thanksovie

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

I'm shocked....wow congrats Superman!!!

 

[tycoonheart]

Well deserved in my opinion. He was a huge reason why this team even made it into the playoffs. And down the stretch he was easily the best player in the league.

Loving the main board meltdown though.

 

[Carlzner]

I'd prefer a Conn Smythe but it is what it is.

 

[ForzaItalia]

Pens fans seem very bitter and upset.

 

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

The Caps' record when he scored vs. when he didn't was pretty telling in terms of value to his team.

A well-deserved congrats to Ovy.

I's amazing that Pens fans can't seem to grasp the concept that actually playing in games is more valuable than not playing in games.

I's amazing that Pens fans can't seem to grasp the concept that actually playing in games is more valuable than not playing in games.

Maybe because Pens as a whole seem to play better when Crosby's not playing.

Its amazing how much pressure Ovie is under, He wins 3rd MVP in 5 years and a larger % of the fan base consider him a bust.

 

[Halpysback*]

hopefully mcphee uses ovechkin's higher value to trade him for erik condra and colin greening and use the freed up cap space to sign iginla.

then the only thing better than our leadership/60 would be our 5on3/60

 

[Acallabeth]

At least some positive from that season

 

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

3 Harts + 3 Lindsays + 3 Richards

vs.

1 Hart + 2 Lindsays + 1 Richard

Just sayin...

(Cue the 'OMGZ NO CUPZ! 1!' crowd.)

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Loving this thread on the main boards. Keeping it civil, just responding with points....so much fun while watching UFC 161....

I'm shocked....wow congrats Superman!!!

I'm shocked as well and glad he won it. I thought for sure Tavares was going to get it.

1 Hart + 2 Lindsays + 1 Richard

you can't deny that needs to be checked off at some point...God willing...

I remember taking some grief for suggesting Tavares was in the talks at least. Good season, tailed off at the end. He's going to be better than I expected I think if he get's some more talent around him.

Agree it is just silly but I think part of it is just the high standard he set for himself. 65 goals in todays NHL is downright amazing. Ever since then he's been expected to go even higher.

How many Hart winners have started the season on the 4th line with Joey Crabb?
