We shouldn’t be talking about individual stats or awards. All that matters to us all is to qualify for the playoffs; win a series; and take it from there. We must win a Stanley Cup during “our time”. Alex is our leader and he “gets it”. He is a high character and an intrinsic leader. The awards will come but all of our eyes are focused on one prize, a championship.
As an aside, it was a pleasant surprise to hear on ESPN yesterday the discussion about Alex and his MVP credentials. They also showed the “goal redux” about a million times as well. :-) That is great for the game and for the fans.
We get the respect we deserve now. Alex is recognized as the best of the best and the league’s MVP. We sell out every game. We have only one aspiration now that is shared by all: Win it all. If not now, when? If not us, who?

ted- not sure if you are referencing pti–but once again tony spoke at length about ovie as he has done now regularly for the past month. as i may have mentioned before,it is time to invite tony k and his daughter(a diehard caps/ovie fan) to a game. just make sure it is a day game as otherwise it might be past his bedtime.
