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!

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!!)

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.

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.

Oh, and Mike Green’s price just went up another million.

I guess we now know who’s winning the Pierson Trophy, don’t we?
