MMMMVP

What I never understood in today's sport's world was the regular season MVP and the playoffs MVP. Mainly there is one reason for this, and maybe its the wrong reason because announcers and sports casters are for the most part complete idiots. Many of them will say stupid things like I would give my vote to Alexander Ovechkin if the Capitals make the playoffs if not then I would have to go in a different direction. That is an actual quote by the way from some retard at versus. Which is completely ridiculous if the player is good enough to be the regular season MVP on a team that doesn't make the playoffs he deserves the award.

Would anyone deny a goalie with virtually no defense in front of him the MVP if he went 35-35 with 32 shut outs and a 0.83 GAA? Chances are this team does not make the playoffs and this goalie is a gift from god to this team but even more likely they don't make the playoffs because there is a small chance that any goalie beyond him is winning 12 games to put them over the edge.

If a team can only mustard 175 goals in a season and gives up 400+ but there best scored scores 100 goals and 50 assists. This team isn't going to the playoffs but he scored 100 goals for a team where he is clearly the only weapon... Where is his trophy? Where is his award. He was clearly the most valuable player on his team and probably in the league. But are we saying that he won't get consider or would not get the award because he couldn't lead his team to a playoff berth? That is horseshit.

The whole idea of the award is to award it to the most valuable player for a team in the league. Now I know most of these are ridiculous circumstances but it is still possible (maybe) but let's face it the award there to honor greatness over an 82 game regular season. Whether or not their team makes the playoffs shouldn't be a pre-qualifier to being an MVP. Now I completely understand in case 2 the player in question not playing in 10-15 games, because of injury, and his team winning each game and pitching a shut out then. Chances are he isn't the most valuable player. Or in case one if the goalie was hurt for 12 games and they won each of those games. Maybe the goalie is becoming a distraction after giving up a goal and his team just can't score. Those are exceptions.

Chances are shit like this will never happen, and most likely the player that deserves the MVP will be in the playoffs but saying something like he doesn't deserve it because he team wasn't good enough is ridiculous and stupid.
