MVP

I was listening to the Mark Madden show today, where he stated 11 voters for the NHL MVP award were asked who they would be voting for and none of them said Evgeni Malkin. This is a travesty, Ovechkin is going to win this award because of all of his stupid antics that get him noticed in the national media all the time. This award is for the most valuable player not the biggest jack ass. Malkin is going to win the scoring title and deserves the MVP to go with it, he has been huge for the Pens this year if it was not for him and Crosby we would not be in the playoff hunt this year. There are two reasons he is being overlooked for this award and neither of them are good.

1. Malkin can't speak english well so the national media doesn't hear from him very often.

2. He plays on the same team as Sidney Crosby who is the NHL's poster boy.

I would be willing to bet if you went to other Hockey cities and asked who the best player for the Penguins is the answer more often then not would be Sidney Crosby. And some years that would be the right answer but not this year, this year has been all about Malkin for the Penguins. That is not to say that next year won't be Crosby's year again. I guess i just feel bad he is being over looked for this award when he really deserves it.
