Is Alex Ovechkin this season's MVP? The answer to that question won't be revealed until the "NHL Award Show" on Thursday night, but blue Reebok T-shirts touting the Washington Capitals all-star as the Hart Trophy winner were on sale Friday afternoon through the league's Web site. They were, that is, until league officials realized the mistake and pulled the item. Ovechkin, the league's leading scorer last season, is a finalist for the award with Calgary's Jarome Iginla and Pittsburgh's Evgeni Malkin.

He's the MVP or soon will be.
Get the T-shirt...he's done that.

The answer won't be revealed until Thursday? Now that's funny...nobody can touch him for MVP..I agree Baun...done deal

Malkin was the MVP from Jan on, but getting his team to the post season got it for AO.

No disrespect to Jarome Iginla and Evgeni Malkin intended. They are very good players! But they are not even in the same galaxy with Alex Ovechkin at this point!

Maybe he can let the two of them carry his luggage to the hotel. But that's as close as they should get to the undisputed MVP, Alex Ovechkin!

He put that Capitals team on his back and carried them into the playoffs. Awesome!

What?!?!?! Not Sydney Crosby??????

According to NBC and VS during the finals Sydney, Sydney, Sydney.(isn't that a girl's name?)

Honestly, I don't think Sydney can even hold Ovechkins jock strap. And I KNOW he can't hold Henrik Zetterberg's.

Ovie deserves it hands down.

June 7, 2008  10:43 AM ET

of course not sidney crosby ovechkin got his bad team to the playoffs and crosby actually has a few players around him

You don't print up shirts like that for nothing. Definitely the MVP. Congrats.

June 7, 2008  12:49 PM ET

Congratulations A08. You deserved it more than anyone.

That's actually debateable. But good thing for Alex the MVP is for the entire season ;)

This is the NHL's worst kept secret. Its 110% that he's winning it. There are no "beans" to spill. I just hope he shows up to the awards show. Conrats there Great 08!!

Just get it over with and give it to him. I love the NHL awards show, but this is a no-brainer. Nobody even comes close to Ovechkin this season.
Hey BGM, how long do you have to write that for?

June 7, 2008  07:23 PM ET

Sydney is a girls name? Wow, very mature, and original. Of course NBC would focus on him. He was the best player left and according to every hockey analyst but you, he's the face of the NHL.
How many MVPs and scoring titles does Zetterburg have? Of course you'll just say how many cups does Crosby have, but this is an idividual comparison.
Zetterburg is a great two-way player, but I'd take Sid any day, so would you.
Back to the point, Alex deserves the MVP.

Zetterburg is a great two-way player, but I'd take Sid any day, so would you.


No I wouldn't

Camera trickery -- this guy is as ugly as Baun-ded pics are nice. I am engaged to Fan_fanny3. I must have a thing about women....seem to like them.

Bill Clinton could guess how I always vote. Werner Von Baun, Rocket Scientist. Hot day..drinking early.

The NHL is too busy tossing the Crosby salad. He's been pimped more often than a hoe in Miami. AO is the MVP. The other 'finalists' had decent supporting casts on their team. AO as someone said basically carried the entire team to the playoffs.
