It wasn’t much of a secret last month when Alexander Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals took home the Hart Memorial Trophy. Before the awards ceremony, the NHL’s online shop briefly linked to an Ovechkin T-shirt proclaiming him the league’s MVP.

Not that we needed a T-shirt to tell us that. Ovechkin also won the Art Ross Trophy and the Rocket Richard Trophy for most points (112) and goals (65). He was easily the best player (non-goaltender category) in a season where Sidney Crosby was shelved for six weeks with a high-ankle sprain. In the Hart voting, Ovechkin took 128 out of 134 first-place votes, leaving Evgeni Malkin and Jarome Iginla in the dust.

Other award winners included Martin Brodeur (Vezina), Niklas Lidstrom (Norris), Patrick Kane (Calder), Pavel Datsyuk (Lady Byng, Selke) and Washington coach Bruce Boudreau (Adams). Lidstrom has won six of the last seven Norris Trophies and needs two more to tie Bobby Orr for the record.
