In the latest edition of The Hockey News magazine, we hand out our annual regular season hardware after soliciting the opinion of 50 hockey experts.

In the latest edition of the Edward Fraser Blog, I hand out my annual first round awards after soliciting the opinion of absolutely no one but myself.

Most Valuable Player – Henrik Lundqvist, Rangers
It may seem more than a touch strange to acknowledge a player not advancing to Round 2, but no player meant more to his team in the first round than King Henrik did to the Rangers. If it wasn’t for his heroics – the best of which was his out-of-this-world toe save in Game 7 to keep the game at one apiece – the Blueshirts would have been white washed by the Red Rockers. Honorable mentions: Jonas Hiller, ANA; Eric Staal, CAR

I can live with that as A.O. said the same thing. So if it good enough for him it good enough for me. Of course I throw some others into the mix as well Jonas and Varalmov.
