Alex Ovechkin. In last night's NHL awards, the Capitals MVP became league MVP. He also won the Lester B Pearson Award to show that he's the Most Outstanding Player in the NHL as chosen by players. MVP and MOP. Hard to beat that.
Not to be outdone, Bruce Boudreau won the Jack Adams Award, which goes to the best NHL coach. A great fit indeed, after taking over a bottom barrell team Thanksgiving Weekend and taking them to the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Niklas Backstrom couldn't win the Calder for Rookie of the Year and lost to Patrick Kane of the Blackhawks.
Congratulations to Alex and Bruce. Now let's concentrate on a different trophy, or rather Cup.
