This week I will select um, Todd Bertuzzi..........again. If he doesn't win the Hart trophy there is a conspiracy.
Runners up are: Alex Auld - Finally found our goalkeeper of the future? Daniel Sedin - peaking at the right time? Those other two guys that play with Bertuzzi.
Bryan "Jimmy Superfly Snuka" Allen should get an honourable mention for going after Doig last night.
You know the dressing room is tight when see guys sticking up for each other like that. At this level, it is ultimately the difference between a contender and pretender.
I believe it is situations like this where it went wrong with Guinness and KNVB.
If the guy gets 50 goals this year he gets a ONE Million Dollars (Dr. Evil) bonus, plus an added ONE Million Dollars (Mini-Me) for next year on his contract.
I am all for our boys doing well and getting the big stats, but can we afford Bert down the road when his contract is up. A Hart trophy and a 50 goal season is good to take into negotiations.
We are looking more and more like the Oilers of Old, watch we may have to get rid of Bert, just like the Oil with Weight, both great power forwards.
