Mullen
Bossy
Gretzky (practically owned the trophy)
Datsyuk (like four or five times)
St Louis
Kariya
Francis
Sakic (I'm pretty sure)
Kopitar last year
Like it's not about just not taking penalties. You have to be a pretty good hockey player to win this thing.

Not to mention Marcel Dionne, who won it twice (that's why he was there to hand it to Johnny).
I'm a little interested in his exclamation "this is the guy I was with last night".
