Good news, Chelios is valuable player.

http://www.nhlpro.cz/clanek/12287-janecky-...ubic-hvezdy-nhl That's all I have found so far. Janecky organized simillar event few years ago, tickets were very cheap 30-50 CZK that is about 2-3.5 USD.

Yeah I am going to buy tickets for sure It is organized by Otakar Janecký. Current rosters: Note: players in brackets have yet to confirm they will participate Otakar Janecký team - he will play and will be captain: Teemu Selanne, Jari Kurri, Saku Koivu, Markus Ketterer, Otakar Janecký jr., Pasi Nurminen, Jere Lehtinen, Walteri Immonen, Mika Stromberg, Petri Varis, Juha Lind, Kimo Timonen, Daniel Alfredsson, Peter Forsberg (Henrik Zetterberg), Mats Sundin, Daniel Tjarnqvist, Borje Salming, Mats Naslund, Esa Tikkanen (Steve Yzerman, Mark Messier), Brian Rafalski, Reijo Ruotsalainen (Niklas Hagman, Olli Jokinen, Sami Kapanen) Coaches: Hannu Aravirta and Curt Lundmark All star team of Otakar Janecky - Dominik Hašek, Adam Svoboda, Jaromír Jágr, Martin Straka, Martin Ručinský, Tomáš Kaberle, Jiří Šlégr, Milan Hejduk, Aleš Hemský, Petr Průcha, Marek Židlický, Karel Rachůnek, Peter Bondra (Žigmund Pálffy), Marián Hossa, Marián Gáborík, Zdeno Chára, Lubomír Višňovský, Sergej Makarov, Igor Larionov, Vladimír Krutov, Vjačeslav Fetisov, Teppo Numminen (Andrej Chomutov, Vjačeslav Bykov, Valeri Kamensky) Coaches: Boris Majorov and Miloš Hořava

No way he plays for the Red Wings. IF he plays, then for the Ducks.

Yeah, I would say he is better diver than Gretz and Mario were..but it's close

Ovechkin is much better than Bure ever was. He is also physical force, unlike Z or Pav. Also, without Ovechkin Caps would not make playoffs. We would make playoffs without Pavel or Hank. Ovechkin may not be the best player, but he was definitely most valuable player. That is one of the most ridiculous sentences I have ever read. Gretzky was surrounded by very mediocre talent after the 1993 Cup run. LA was terrible in 1993-94. No Art Ross winner has had less talent around him post-expansion. Gretzky still hit 100 points in 95-96. The one year he had talent around him (1996-97 in New York) he had 97 points in the regular season, and he scored at about a 110-point clip in the playoffs. He had nothing for surrounding talent in 97-98 and he still finished third in points. He was the top scorer after the Olympics even though the Rangers only other credible offensive threat (Pat Lafontaine) missed the final month of the season. How bad was it in 98-99? Gretzky, mired by injuries, helped Adam Graves put up the second best goal total of his career (Graves never hit 25 again), and, well, Todd Harvey and Niklas Sundstrom never looked better than they did while playing with Gretzky. To be honest, I never liked Gretzky, but he was the best player ever. Kurri was really good player, but he would never scored so many goals if not for Gretzky. Messier was even better than Kurri, but not even close to Gretzky. Gretzky would dominate any era because of his vision.

He will win it few more times imho. Nick and Z have pretty good shot too. 2007-2008 Lady Byng Trophy Voting Results Rank Player Team Points (1st-2nd-3rd-4th-5th) =========================================== 1.

Henrik Zetterberg, DET 185 (6-9-6-9-5)

I agree..and Gretzky award for the best playmaker would make more sense anyways.

Because it is awarded to the most valuable player. Not the most complete player..or Gretzky would never won that award. Ovechkin scored 65 goals and was by far the best player Caps had. He scored almost 30% of Caps goals not to mention 40+ helpers..his Hart is well deserved. The fact that he does not kill penalties does not change a thing.

I do not want to change your opinion, think whatever you want. Ignore history all you want..I don't care. I just stated I am done with this matter and I am not gonna waste any more time..which I did now anyways. I also thank you for your thoughtful input..you definitely proved Conn Smythe is da best

Great news, he deserves that. Nice to see Nick up there too..the best player in the game.

Ok whatever I already wasted my time discussing this kinda pointless stuff.

Well said.

Absolutely agree. Some folks just do not undertand what 'prestige' means.

lol And who the hell said that? You make things up. Congrats.

Ok let's try simple math..maybe it will help some folks. There are 30 teams in the NHL, each team has +-25 players..that means more than 700 players (750). Each end every player has chance to win Hart trophy. Now playoffs..you only have 16 teams..then 2 teams in the finals. Only one team wins it all.. so one of the 25 players (yes few exceptions..like Giguere in 03) gets the Conn Smythe. You need to play for the best team..and one player can only do so much. You need to be lucky to be on that team..and even if the Conn Smythe winner happens to be the best player on the team (not every winner was the best player though) you needed other players to be better than the players from the other team.. Conn Smythe is not even close to Hart when it comes to prestige.

Of course. But that does not change the fact that Hart tropy is the most prestigious trophy player can get. I don't understand why some people do not get it..look up word 'prestigious' if you do not understand what it means. http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com/ind...s=A1ARTA0003615

ROFLMAO this is so ridiculous Hart trophy..you know the thing.. is the most prestigious award hockey player can get. That is a fact.

Hart tropy is given to the best player since 1924. Pearson since 1971. This is no contest. Hart trophy is the most prestigious tropy individual can get.

Hasek. He never won Conn Smythe and is much better than Ken Dryden. Jagr. He never won Conn Smythe and is much better than Brad Richards. Plante. He never won Conn Smythe and is much better than Cam Ward.

Yes I do. Please go and read some Hockey history book, search the internet, whatever. The fact is, Hart trophy is the most prestigious trophy. No contest. You have to be exceptional for 82 games. You get Conn Smythe only IF you play for the best team (you win the Stanley Cup .. yes few exceptions, but it only shows this is true). Again: read some Hockey history book, search the internet, whatever. The fact is, Hart tropy is the most prestigious trophy. Because one player can only do so much. Ovechkin won Hart, Zetterberg got Conn Smythe. Who is the better player? If we lost to Pens, Zetterberg would not win. Crosby would or Hossa or any other Pen. You need to be lucky enough to have good teammates to win the Cup OR Conn Smythe. LOL

Absolutely agree..

Thanks for posting the video..very short though.
