Holtby has been more critical than any skater. Mikey wins.

Kuznetsov has 31 in 23.

Holtby has been good, but the Caps are actually playing good *gasp* team defense.

Sadly, yes.

Of five voting members I've heard talk about it...all 5 were willing to vote for Ovechkin seemingly no matter what...there's only a few dozen voters...so it seems likely that Ovechkin will win regardless...

Though, perhaps a Holtby shutout or another four-point game from Kuznetsov will alter that...a 30-point playoff is certainly something...

The voting, as expected, was that Ovechkin was going to win regardless...

Ovechkin 13-5-0
Kuznetsov 5-13-0
Holtby 0-0-17
Fleury 0-0-1

Crosby got a charity toss for being the 2nd best player in '16...Ovechkin gets his for being the 3rd best player in '18...I'll live, but as a history aficionado, this is most unclean...

Kuzy had the second most points (32) in a playoff since 1997 (Malkin, 36 in 2009).
