If memory serves Kane got one too.

[Lcsulla]

Yeah, I think Quick got one too

[kev87lads]

Kane, Malkin, Quick and Zetterberg are all correct.

So that's 5.

Oh man... I'm positive I can get the teams right, but MVPs will not be my strong suit. I'll go back 10 seasons:

LA - Kopitar
CHI - Toews
LA - Quick
BOS - Thomas
CHI - Niemi
PIT - Crosby
DET - Osgood
ANA - Pronger
CAR - Ward
TB - Richards

Welp. Let's see here. Active as in active players. So no on Pronger and Osgood and Thomas. Niemi didn't win. Nor Kopitar.

Richards and Ward are right.

[Rebecca De Mornay]

i thought Kopitar won the last one too matty.

he should have, at least.

Yeah, I was just trying to go back and name them all.

[kev87lads]

at still not getting last year's. The only one we're missing here.

Right? Totally should have!

EDIT: Of course, I was handing out MVPs, we all know what position they'd play.

[Rebecca De Mornay]

oh!

it was that guy who scored all the OT winners. what was his name??!!

[barbogast]

Justin Williams won last year. Tim Thomas definitely won in 2011

[kev87lads]

Yay. Justin Williams ftw. Thus ends the game.

[Rebecca De Mornay]

oh yeah, justin williams.

great game.

Who says superstitions and luck don't factor into watching sports. I am taking some credits for that game last night!

What is Tim Thomas active in?

[Rebecca De Mornay]

he just said 8 past winners are active. not THE pas 8 winners.

i read it the wrong way at first too which is why i guessed tim thomas.

How could you guys forget Mr. Game 7, Justin Williams?!

[kev87lads]

Sorry for failing at asking the question. I didn't read it that way.

[dmbetc]

What the hell? The Rangers game isn't until tomorrow?

I am happy because I would have missed game 7 if it was tonight. Tomorrow night I will be glued to the TV!

Keith was pretty amazing that game too, so good choice.

[Absolute34]

NHL is praying for Rangers/Hawks. Would possibly be the highest rated Stanley Cup ever. However, dreams never come true so likely matchup is Cali vs Florida lmao

[JRS1386]

How could people forget Justin Williams, he's the reason the Flyers aren't 7-time defending champs because they got rid of him

Yeah, it was an easy choice too. I love Keith's style of play and he is just plain smart. I got lucky too, only paid $29.99 for a brand new with tags official handstiched reabok ones complete with the A and all that jazz(it had a couple drips of coffee or something on the back number that I can get out with a quick spray, bleach pen of just a good wash - funny thing is if you are not holding it you'd never even notice the 3 drips because they are so tiny!) Heck it is such a great jersey it even has the clips and snaps to grasp it to the padding - basically it is almost the exact same one he wears.

Without doing research, I believe this is the first season Ovechkin hasn't scored a hat trick

[JRS1386]

Including or excluding Gordie Howe Hat Tricks?

That is how I read your post

Either way, he had a great season. Should be proud of it. Will be great agin next year I suspect.
