The praises keep piling up for Alexander Ovechkin. He has been named the Sporting News NHL Player of the Year. In a landslide victory, Ovechkin received 250 of a possible 287 votes cast by players from around the league. Pittsburgh’s Evgeni Malkin came in second with 18 votes.
In another vote by their peers, Ovechkin was joined by Mike Green in the Sporting News All-Star Team. Filling out the all-star team are Jarome Iginla, Evgeni Malkin, Nicklas Lidstrom and Martin Brodeur.
The Sporting News NHL awards will appear in the May 26 issue of the magazine.

I guess we now know who’s winning the Pierson Trophy, don’t we?
Oh, and Mike Green’s price just went up another million.
I love Mike Green, but a spot on the end-of-season All-Star team? As in, one of the top two defensemen in the league? That seems kind of bizarre. Maybe it’s just a case of me being a stereotypical Caps fan and not fully appreciating our offense-minded defensemen.
I was kind of shocked by Green making it, who knows, maybe they sampled more eastern conference players. He beat Phaneuf, Chara, Gonchar, and others. Impressive.
Yes! I admire this moment for AO!! He should be fine in leading this team to its first Stanley Cup. An MVP award like this should bring a multitude of expectancy of excellent from this guy. Let’s hope it is all worth it (and all of his rookie cards at stake here!!)
What’s most amazing about this is that of the players on the Caps cannot vote for themselves or a teammate… meaning that out of the 280 players that voted (NHL has approximately 660 players), only 37 players did not vote for him… that’s quite amazing!
