A week ago, I graded the Washington Capitals and gave three great candidates for 'valedictorian.' Well, the results of the poll are in, and I quite agree, that this year's valedictorian is:
Alex Ovechkin.
If you want to see all the reasons I chose him, you can go back and see that post as well as the one about why he will win the Hart trophy, but in a nutshell...
Braden Holtby and Steven Oleksy also did fantastic, but Ovechkin really deserves it this year.
Alex Ovechkin.
If you want to see all the reasons I chose him, you can go back and see that post as well as the one about why he will win the Hart trophy, but in a nutshell...
- He won the Richard Trophy for top goal scorer despite 'struggling' the first half of the year
- He all but carried the Caps to a division crown and playoff berth
- He is a finalist for the Hart trophy for league MVP
- He finished third in the league in points
Braden Holtby and Steven Oleksy also did fantastic, but Ovechkin really deserves it this year.
Now let's just get a Stanley Cup to go along with it, OK?
