Z and D for the C 712 Report post Posted April 22, 2011 (edited) Pav. If I had a second vote, it'd be Flip. Actually it would be Howard. But go Filppula anyway. Edited April 22, 2011 by Z and D for the C 2 Frozen-Man and Aussie_Wing reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MulesWillFly93 199 Report post Posted April 22, 2011 This. Ditto. Pavs, as always, was excellence personified, and Helm is like the shrimp and grits of hockey...you just don't get any more soul than that. Howard I was really worried about, but boy did he come through. He put Bryzgalov, Luongo, Quick, Thomas, you name 'em to shame when it counted...nothing fancy, just total steadiness. I'm so proud of all my boys, though! Great series! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WoopWoopDangleDangle 0 Report post Posted April 22, 2011 I'll put it this way...there is a reason my first hockey jersey was Helmer and having him behind Datsyuk in the voting isnt THAT bad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stormboy 47 Report post Posted April 22, 2011 Datsyuk. Helm for the most stupidly overrated player in the game. really? i realize he's not alex ovechkin over here. sure, he's gotten a lot of praise around here (and elsewhere) of late, but the kid always plays with tons of heart and speed, even when he's not chipping in a lot of points, which isn't really his primary role on the team. 1 MulesWillFly93 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aussie_Wing 354 Report post Posted April 22, 2011 I couldn't vote against Datsyuk even though my Flip slap happyness wanted me to vote for the underrated first round of Filppula Letting the team down mate, I voted for Flip! I think the OP got the optios dead on though, they were the best of a great group. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Norwegian Red Wing 107 Report post Posted April 22, 2011 Datsyuk was awesome! Put I think several of the Wings did a great 1st round. Hopefully this will continue all the way to the Cup! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

motorcitykid 42 Report post Posted April 22, 2011 I hate players who cry, moan and *****! So i'm going to give my vote to Helm, and the way in which he frustrated the Coyotes and especially that big baby Jovo. Obviously Pavs led the charge on offence but Draper-in-waiting Helm was all over the ice, hustling, hitting and causing the Coyotes to peek over their shoulder when he was on the ice. On to Round 2!!! 12 W's to go!!!!!!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanadaBoy 151 Report post Posted April 22, 2011 (edited) My vote goes to Emptya Netov. He had a 1.00% save percentage and 0.00 GAA until the last few seconds of game 4!

Uncle Danny 155 Report post Posted April 22, 2011 Datsyuk, but honestly the whole team played well. Only Abbie, Draper and Stu held off the scoresheet? Impressive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HelmFan 84 Report post Posted April 22, 2011 Datsyuk, but honestly the whole team played well. Only Abbie, Draper and Stu held off the scoresheet? Impressive. I was pretty sure Draper should have had an assist on the Eaves empty netter. Didn't Drapes win the faceoff and chip the puck to Eaves? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dimaline312000 51 Report post Posted April 22, 2011 All of them played critical roles in the Wings advancement in the playoffs but I'd have to go with Pavs!! He wasn't just a goal scorer for us he was a play maker and he plays great D for a forward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lollipop 8 Report post Posted April 22, 2011 If MVP still means Most VALUABLE Player, I just don't understand how Helm or anyone else is getting votes. Pavel Datsyuk was easily our MVP. This. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
