So it looks like the NHL leaked some info out today...?

Question

Alexander Ovechkin is the winner of the 2008 Hart Trophy as the National Hockey League's most valuable player to his team.

That is, according to the NHL's online shop for a few hours on Friday.

The league's official website briefly displayed a blue Reebok Washington Capitals T-Shirt of the Russian superstar, with the title '2007-08 Hart Trophy winner' splashed across the bottom.

"The Hart Memorial Trophy, originally known as the Hart Trophy, the "oldest and most prestigious individual award in hockey," is awarded annually to the Most Valuable Player in the National Hockey League," the sales page read.

"Pay tribute to Alexander Ovechkin with this short-sleeve Reebok Hart Trophy t-shirt. It features a dynamic image of Ovechkin, his name, number, replica signature, team logo, and '2007-08 Hart Trophy WINNER' graphic."

The item, which sold for $19.99, was taken down later in the day.

Answer 1

Ahhh! Now the whole awards show will be ruined!!!

Answer 2

The site probably only did that to stir up some drama... He's probably not even the winner..

Answer 3

Well, I can't say I'm surprised. Source for this information?

"first player to sign with a new team this coming July 1"

What do you mean by this comment?

Answer 4

Not really a suprise at all.

Answer 5

Hmmm...are there any sites where you can place bets on who will win??? lol

Answer 6

Im not suprised.

Answer 7

That's dumb, Jarome Iginla deserves it. All Ovechkin did was score, he's not really a leader. Iggy was there to carry his team when they were down and he is a true leader and captain. He can score, hit, defend, and fight. Ovechkin, just scores.

I don't care what anyone says: IGGY IS THE MVP!

Answer 8

Sounds like someone hit the wrong button over at NHL.COM
