My choice for the player of the year is Scott Nichol. He is a hard working player who puts out 110% all the time. He gets out there and makes plays happen. He is always in the attacking zone pressuring the opponents to make a play or cause a turnover. If the puck goes out of the zone, Nichol is right back into the defensive zone, trying to get the puck back out of the zone so the Sharks can go back on the attack. Nichol has been one of the hardest working players in the NHL.

NHL.COM is hosting a really fun game called the 2010 Playoff Challenge. It is a lot like the March Madness Tournament Bracket game on Yahoo except this is for the Playoffs. If anybody would like to join I have created a group:

It is very easy to find on NHL.COM. It is on the right side underneath the top headlines category. There is a whole line of links and the link to the game is on the very last one. The Playoffs start tomorrow but don’t worry. The picks go by a round by round basis, so picks start over each round. Good Luck Sharks!
