[HockeyCrazy3033 168]

I'm trying not to be too much of a Z slappy. I'd hate to become one of those obsessed types.

But all that aside, I'm glad Z got it. He's the whole package...hard working, offensively skilled, defensively sound, and he makes his linemates better. Babs said if any of his players are slumping and he puts them with Z they're automatically lifted. If you're that good that you make others better, you're a winner in my book.

[Majsheppard 203]

This is good, because the Red Wings style will pretty much assure Zetterberg never wins a Hart, even if he deserves it. Which he does.

I like to see him get his dues, although he has already recieved the greatest honour ever. I bought his Jersey in attendence of his first NHL game, an honour never given to any other Wing!!!

That obviously is worth more then a Hart trophy....

Go Z

yes please dont become that way, I might have to hit you.

[akustyk 84]

not shabby for a 7th round (210 overall) pick, right?

Hakan Anderson deserves a separate trophy from the league.

I mean... this is simply unbelievable. 7th round pick from Europe

winning it all despite league putting all the effort to promote

1st pick Canadian candyboys... :D

Zetterberg is Lazy and he Sucks!

Must resist dirty joke.

Yeah he's worthless. Trade him!

my guess is pavel and z will be even better next year, these guys are absolutely insane and should be spoken in the same breath as crosby and ovechkin, they will be by the end of next year, there so damn amazing

[Taylorov 37]

Sadly, my Zetterberg jersey is about due for "retirement". (burn holes, pin holes, blood & liquor stains)

It's had a good run. ('02-'08)

Datsyuk is next.

[Vincanni 1]

Nice honor to Z, and by all accounts any top notch 2-way player during the regular season who wins the Conn Smythe should automatically be player of the year. Good to see Lidstrom finish third as well.

CONGRATS TO HANK!!

[Chelichic 12]

CONGRATS to HANK!!!

I love that the Wings are winning some great awards. Us fans know they are awesome and its nice to see the NHL and others think the same.

I'm not sure I want to hear the backstory to this...

Great honor for Z anyways, well deserved. It's remarkable that two of the three finalists were Wings...and Dats probably wouldn't be far behind either.

What a dream-like season...*pinching myself*

[GoWings1905 2,694]

Congrats Z! Very well deserved.

[Quicksilver 0]

Congrats Z! Very well deserved.

I agree. You can't go wrong with that!!!

[Guest nutz2u]

as much as i love the guy and i hope beyond anything that he resigns long term, and he is totally deserving of this award, i just hope his name does not get saturated down the way that crosby has his name in every aspect of hockey these days.

You don't have to worry about that because he's not Canadian.

[eva unit zero 271]

Hmm.

My generally mocked and laughed at mention of Zetterberg as a top five player that I called before the season doesn't seem so silly anymore, does it?

Hell no! His speed his agility! He is the man!!!! He'd da bomb!

Who did that? He was definitely top 10. You shouldn't have been laughed at for saying top 5.

Whoever did that should
