Same goes for Evgeni Malkin, Chris Kunitz and James Neal. Three-for-17 on the power play, with a couple shorthanded goals-against mixed in, isn't good enough, either; Pittsburgh had the second-best record in the Eastern Conference largely because of those guys and that power play. Crosby is going to win the MVP, and he'll deserve it not just because he won the scoring title, but because he accounted for a huge part of Pittsburgh's offense, either scoring or getting the first assist on 28 percent of their 5-on-5 goals....
