2010 Olympics: Picking the tournament all-stars
There are a trio of end-of-tournament awards that they hand out in the men's Olympic hockey tournament: One for the MVP, one set of three Directorate Awards for each position and then a media all-star team.
Here's who took home that hardware in 2006, when Sweden won over the Finns:
Media all-stars: Antero Niittymaki, Nicklas Lidstrom, Kimmo Timonen, Teemu Selanne, Saku Koivu and Alex Ovechkin
MVP and top goalie: Niittymaki
Top defenceman: Kenny Jonsson
Top forward: Selanne
There's still one game to go so this may change a bit, but here are my picks for 2010:
Media all-stars: Ryan Miller, Brian Rafalski, Shea Weber, Pavol Demitra, Zach Parise and Jonathan Toews
MVP: Miller if the U.S. wins or a top Canadian forward who makes an impact in the final if they win (Toews, Heatley, Iginla, Crosby and Getzlaf are in the running)
Top goalie: Miller
Top defenceman: Rafalski
Top forward: Could be Parise if he has a big game or one of the aforementioned Canadian forwards
The tournament scoring leaders are all listed here and goaltending leaders are here.
