Don't thank the fans, thank the hackers for getting Kovalev on the team. Of course, his selection as MVP was a hometown decision. Personally, i would have voted for Tim Thomas, who was great in the last minutes of the 3rd period & in the overtime, especially when they were killing a penalty to the guy who had no business there this weekend, none other than Mike 'The Kommy' Komisarek. If it weren't for Thomas, the game would have ended quicker with the Western Conference winning the game....meaning Kovalev never would have had the opportunity to even be considered for MVP, since the winner usually is with the winning team. Kovalev should sell the car & give half his earnings to Tim Thomas.
