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.
Price plays with good players too? Would Price look so good in Edmonton? Hart typically goes to the best player, even though the definition does say most valuable to their team.
