It's not only the playoffs, but it's also awards season in the NHL. Day by day, names are released for various awards with everyone awaiting the nomination with most gravity—the Hart Trophy for league MVP.
It just so happens that two of the likely candidates, John Tavares of the New York Islanders and Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburgh Penguins, are also squared off in a very intriguing Eastern Conference Quarterfinal matchup.
John Tavares put together an impressive second-half resume this season with 47 points, leading all goalscorers at even strength with 19. His performance was the impetus for an Islanders playoff berth, the first in six years.
As for Crosby, he knows all about MVP performances, and before his jaw injury which forced him to miss all of April, Crosby was the runaway leader for the trophy. He still amassed 56 points, leading the league in points per game, despite missing 12 games this year.
Let us know what you think, which of these two deserves the MVP? Or, is it another superstar? Tell us in the comments below.
