14 Top LWs

Doesn't Gaborik play LW on the Kings?
How is he not on this list?
Many thought he could have won the Conn Smythe (playing against the toughest teams in hockey), and he will be playing a full season with Kopitar.
I don't get it.

That's unreal!. Gaborik isn't even on the "others receiving votes" list. They must have only looked at regular season stats. There's no way he shouldn't have been included. Maybe they have him listed as a RW. I guess we'll see if they do have him in with the RWs.

OK, I checked the Kings roster on LAKings.com and they do indeed have Gaborik listed as a Right Wing. I guess Williams is the Left Wing on Kopitar's line. Or King or Brown or whoever Sutter puts out with Kopitar and Gaborik.

Thanks, Ox. But I'm pretty sure Gaborik played LW most of the time.

Yeah I getcha. I was pretty sure of that too. A lot like Ovechkin in Washington. He's officially listed as a RW but scores most of his goals playing the left side. I think in today's NHL offenses both wingers play both sides quite often during various rushes up the ice.
