Any info on when the All Star Teams and MVP will be announced? Who deserve to be in?
Riddarn said:I nominate Kronwall!
I agree.Epsilon said:The following guys should be locks:
Vokoun, Kronwall, Vishnovsky, Nash, Thornton
That leaves one slot for another forward, can't decide who yet.

Wade Redden
should have been kronwall
best forward
Alexei Kovalev
surprise!!!
where's Nash???
After the final the third one is solid choice as Jagr. He was simply the best player (with Finland-disappointig Vokoun) in this game. Quite a rise from Vokoun as a crap in Finnish SM-liiga to a World Champion.Epsilon said:The following guys should be locks:

Epsilon said:Are those the official awards? Did they draw names out a hat or something?

Epsilon said:The awards for Vokoun and Thornton are fine. But how on earth is Wade Redden best defenseman, and Alexei Kovalev best forward. No way does anyone on Canada's defense deserve a "best defenseman" award in this tournament. And Kovalev wasn't even the best forward on his team.

There was the tournament MVP: Thornton, and then there was the media's choice of best forwards, first of whom was Nash. No contradiction at all. The media chose Thornton as the second best forward and the REAL JOKE was Jagr as third best forward of the tourney. There are at least six and maybe ten better forwards in this tourney, and even two better on his team. The media is where the hype is, as always.cbjfan said:I totally agree. What is even stranger is that Thornton wins MVP of the entire tournament, but isn't the best forward in the tournament? Not a whole lot of logic there.
Not by far. But yes, I think he was one of the best. No surprise here. He impressed the heck out of me right from the opening game. EVERY game he was a force. Something that cannot be said about his teammates (even of Datsyuk).RedAce said:awe shut your traps!! Kovalev was the best forward by far!!
