After Ovechkin, who deserves their 1st cup the most

[Balance]

Or who do you want to see get the cup? Preferably not a player on your favorite team.

You know who I think deserves a cup? Claude Giroux. I feel like he's a very underappreciated star player who has dealt with a poorly run franchise.

Yea...not really.

Probably 50 players before him I would pick.

 

[Kardi]

Mitch Marner

 

[A4T1L6]

Jumbo Joe

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Thornton, Pavelski, Luongo, the Sedins and Lundqvist. I don't like the Rangers, so I'd hope for Lundqvist to win elsewhere.

 

[Pip]

Thornton, the Sedins, Iginla

Deserves? The next team that earns it, deserves it.









Iginla.
Jagr, again.

 

[John Belushi]

There are at least a half dozen players more deserving then Alexander Ovechkin.

Joe Thornton
Jarome Iginla
Sedin twins
Henrik Lundqvist
Roberto Luongo
Dan Hamhuis (homer pick)
Carey Price
Zach Parise

and last, but certainly not least

Shane Doan.

+1 for most of this list. Ovechkin doesn't make my top 5 most deserving

 

[Revelation]

Hank

Also Henrik deserves it much more than Daniel

 

[Juicy Pop]

There is no such thing as deserving a Cup.

 

[Foppberg]

Iggy or Thornton, for sure.

Why does Ovechkin deserve a cup more than anyone else? Why is anyone more deserving than anyone else?

 

[WeThreeKings]

Saku Koivu

 

[PhoenyX]

I don't agree with the topic's premise. Thornton and Iginla deserve a cup more than Ovi.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Why does Ovechkin deserve a cup more than anyone else? Why is anyone more deserving than anyone else?

I think the question mostly wants you to list the players you'd like to see win the Cup. For instance, I'd like to see a guy like Joe Thornton who's had a brilliant career and received an unfair treatment from the media win the Cup to quiet his critics.

 

[Maple Leaf]

Mats Sundin

Why does it have to be a star player? They have it easy. I'd say it's probably some career 3rd-4th liner who plays his butt off and works harder than the next guy to stay in the NHL and make the vet minimum.

 

[94 Rangers]

Lundqvist
Doan
Thornton
Iginla
Luongo






Ovechkin

 

[nmbr_24]

You don't deserve it until you earn it so nobody. There are all kinds of players in the league who could make a positive impact on a cup team.

 

[BrindamoursNose]

Thornton deserves it more than Ovy.

 

[Zalos]

No one deserves a Cup. If you do not win one during your career, it is too bad. However, it will not stop people from remembering Cup-less star players. Ovechkin will still be one of the most memorable players to have played in the NHL.

 

[JPeeper]

Iginla should be the first on any list, with Jumbo Joe being second.

I want Ovy to get a cup as well, but there are lots of players that deserve one before him.
