No surprises here with Marian Gaborik of the Rangers getting the nod with more than 25 per cent of the vote. What may surprise is that Sidney Crosby comes in as number two. He's known for being one of the toughest players to compete against, and his skating is obviously one of the big reasons.
Patrick Marleau of the Sharks also got lots of vote, which is impressive for a veteran who is in his early 30's.
