SI NHL poll

[pockets 9]

I got my new SI mag in and it had a Best Player in the NHL poll as voted by 324 players (looked on the website cant find it so so sorry no link)

Players couldnt vote for teammates

A.O 51%

Lids 11

Malkin 7

Dats 7

Iginla 5

Zetter 5

Crosby and Brodeur finished 8th with 1.9 % each

I find it kinda funny that Crosby finished with so little votes

While not surprised, it makes me happy seeing Lids voted second best player and only defenseman in the top5.

Shouldn't get the Norris this year says who? :/

On letsgopens.com, some of the posters have stated that nhl players are dumb. Therefore, the poll means nothing. Morons

I think it's great recognition for Lidstrom. But everyone including himself already knew that.

When Semin made those "What's so special about Crosby?" comments, Sid went off like a rocket and racked up the points like no other. I'm just saying, if that's what works for him then maybe this new poll isn't such a great thing after all.

Of course the players know less about the game than fans.

Nice to see three Wings players in top 6.

so in other words they are saying that Crosby is dumb too?

I'm glad Ovechkin got the recognition he deserves.
