    - (C) Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburgh Penguins.
    - (G) Henrik Lundqvist of the New York Rangers.
    - (L) Alexander Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals.
    - (D) Dion Phaneuf of the Calgary Flames.
    - (R) Marek Svatos of the Colorado Avalanche.

    *Does not have to be one of the players listed*

    I think Lundqvist has a real chance. The Rangers are playing well and he very rarely gives up more than 2 goals in a game when he plays. Ovenchkin and Crosby are both awesome player but there teams aren't going anywhere this year. I say if Ludqvist keeps playign well and The Rangers finish at the top of the Eastern conference he should win.

    ^Agreed. I think it depends a lot on how well the teams place at this point still. Crosby is the easy shoe in, but if the Rangers go (with Lundy) far in the playoffs and the Penguins don't even make it... I don't think Ovenchkin is popular enough to pull it, he just doesn't get the same attention. He's more like Prucha IMO, excellent youngster, but not going to win as THE standout.

    That said, personally, I hope anyone but Crosby wins. The kid plays like a goon IMO, which ordinarly doesn't bother me, but in light of all the next-Gretzky comparisons I find it somewhat annoying, cause bottom line is that he can't hold a candle to the great one.
