Ovechkin's got Hart
Thursday, June 12, 2008
Washington Capitals forward Alexander Ovechkin, who
led the league in goals with 65 and points with 112, was named the NHL's
MVP Thursday night in Toronto.
Ovechkin took home the Hart Trophy as MVP and the
Lester B. Pearson Award, which is given to the league's outstanding
player as voted on by NHLPA members.
Ovechkin's coach, Bruce Boudreau, won the Jack Adams
Award as outstanding coach. Boudreau took over the Capitals, who were
last in the Eastern Conference, in November and led them on a 37-17-7
run that earned them a birth in the playoffs.
Detroit captain Nicklas Lidstrom won his sixth Norris
Trophy as outstanding defenseman. New Jersey's Martin Brodeur won his
fourth Vezina Trophy as outstanding goalie. Detroit's Pavel Datsyuk won
the Selke as outstanding defensive forward and his third straight Lady
Byng for gentlemanly play and sportsmanship. Chicago's Patrick Kane took
home the Calder as outstanding rookie.
