Evgeni Malkin

Malkin and Crosby have formed a duo that is unchallenged on other teams. Malkin was our leading point scorer in these playoffs, putting up 10 goals and 18 assists for a total of 28 points in 25 games.

He was our most consistent player, and many may even argue he deserved the Conn Smythe Trophy over Crosby. Nevertheless, his strong play boosted us to this championship.
