Who, at this point in the Stanley Cup finals, would be the MVP of the series?

Question

Just considering the first 2 games...

Answer 1

I'd say the Detroit gameplan.  And the 18 or so players following it.  Not Osgood, so stop writing it!  A garbage can could be in the Wings net and they would have won the first two games.  Pens are stunned and stifled.

Let there be more than two more games left in this season.

Answer 2

Remember, it doesnt have to be on the winning team. I am going with the safe bet and say Crosby wins it unanimously for just showing up!

^ can you sense the sarcasm?

Answer 3

Osgood.

Answer 4

Wizard of Oz (GO WINGS!!!)

Answer 5

OSGOOD!!!!!!

Answer 6

Chris Osgood. He has kept the Wings in both games.

Answer 7

Chris Osgood

Answer 8

Osgood, two shutouts, and balanced scoring so far means no skater is going to get it.

Answer 9

Ossie

Answer 10

Of these 2 games, Kronwall.  He has made malkin look non-existent and is a Plus 6.  Osgood has been as good as he needed to be but Kronwall and the rest of the D have played a big role.

Answer 11

Wait a minute, 6 votes for Osgood?  Pittsburgh did not get a single shot on net in the first 10 minutes last night.  One sixth of the game was over, before Osgood even had an effect on the outcome!

Not to take anything away from Osgood, he has played very well.  But what about the 5 guys on the ice that are preventing Pittsburgh shots on goal?  What about Samuellson with 2 goals?  What about Zetterberg, Datsyuk, Filpula, who are constantly pressing on offense?

Answer 12

Chris Osgood.

Answer 13

Just based on the first two games of this series....how bout the Detroit D...they're sick right now!

Only one person though, take your pick....Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Lidstrom, i've even really like the way Cleary and Filpula have been playing this series.

However, ultimately, it's going to go to Osgood, because he came in at a very important time for the Wings and helped stabilize the team for the rest of the playoffs.
