There were strong arguments for Kessel or Murray, but Crosby was making a lot of plays not on the stat sheet... His leadership being one of them. He was only 3pts behind Kessel's total, and he had 3 Game winners, so I was fine with it. And I'm sure he is/was honored to get it, but The Cup IS the real prize.
Yup. A hockey player can contribute so many things other than points. A player can be effective at winning faceoffs, being disciplined and not taking penalties, killing penalties, being a good two way player offensively and defensively, etc.
