hmm...


Veteran blogger Ted L. asks on his blog...

"He is a two-time MVP player now and the greatest player in our team history. As he said, 'What a life!' Can you name me one other two-time MVP player that isn’t in the Hall of Fame?"

Well, 17 players have won the Hart Memorial Trophy at least twice, including newly-minted two-time winner Alex Ovechkin. Of the other 16, how may have done so who are not in the Hall of Fame?

One... Dominik Hasek, and he's a lock to get in.

Alex Ovechkin would appear to have more to look forward to in his hockey life.

Ovie Dangerfield?

"Vegas is good. I played a couple of times in the casino [and] win $500. I have the chips in my room, in the safe. We in Vegas, so we have to live the Vegas life."
