Can't believe this is the only poster who's brought this up so far. Backstrom is not only one of the best in the game but he does it on both ends. Before the season started, after Trotz got through training camp, he talked so much about how he couldn't believe that Backstrom didn't get more love in the best player in the game convos. He compared him to guys like Kopi and Toews, so far this year he's been better than both IMO. Ovie is still the Caps MVP but Backstrom was for the first half and then Ovie went crazy and started scoring goals every game. For the record I love Ovie, but I think him and Backs cancel each other out. I agree with another poster that it was a race between Kane and Price until Kane went down.
