SI Player Poll

I dont know if this has been posted on here. If you go by this list and ignore the media hype of Crosby/Malkin, this should be a short series given the Wings superior depth, defense, and goaltending.

Who is the NHL's best player

From the May 25, 2009 issue:

1. Alex Ovechklin, Capitals LW-51%

2. Nicklas Lidstrom-Red Wings D-11%

3. Evgeni Malkin, Penguins C-7%

4. Pavel Datsyuk, Red Wings C-7%

5. Jarome Iginla, Flames RW-5%

6. Henrik Zetterberg, Red Wings C-5%

Poll was completed just before the playoffs, and players could not vote for a teammate. Penguins C Sidney Crosby tied for eighth (1.9), Devils G Martin Brodeur also at 1.9% was the only goalie among the 13 players who got multiple votes.

Based on a survey of 324 NHL players.

So this is a survey of the best player in the league or what? Also, is there a link? It'd be cool to read it.

I have no idea what I am looking at. Best accents in the NHL?

The question was indeed who is the NHLs best player. There is no article just a poll.
