SI Experts Look At The First Half

SI.com’s NHL writers will periodically discuss the latest news and address hot topics from around the league. This week: a look back at the first half of the season and a look forward to the stretch run.
1. Who is your mid-season MVP?
Michael Farber: Alex Ovechkin. He scores. He hits. He does everything but, like the carney barkers say, crawl on his belly like a reptile. While we have our shorts in a knot over the Bruins and Sharks, Capitals have quietly, it seems to me, been lurking. Ovechkin’s crazy skills and infectious passion are the biggest reason.
Darren Eliot: Zach Parise has been consistent from the outset and given the Devils, according to head coach Brent Sutter, the type of season that was needed by his team.
Allan Muir: I gave serious thought to Parise. I don’t think he’s getting the acclaim he deserves for the magical season he’s putting together. But as much as I wish I could give the nod to someone off the beaten path, how could it not be Ovechkin?

These ‘experts’ are funny.
From Allan Muir:
Luongo is under .500 over his career in shootouts (4-4 in FLA, 12-13 in VAN, including 1-2 this year). If he had been playing in those other three shootout losses, it’s unreasonable to assume he’d have won more than two of them. Wow, two more points!
From Darren Eliot, on whether he’d stick with his pre-season SCF picks, or had changed his mind:
ROFL!!! Goalies…
