Yes, it's the first time that a Canuck has won the NHL all-star game MVP award. Congratulations to Boeser! However, there were at least two previous cases in which a Canuck should have won but were victims of an obvious injustice. First in 1983, John Garrett played for the Campbell Conference and played well for the 9-3 win over the Wales Conference. Originally, Garrett was selected game MVP but when Gretzky scored 4 goals in the 3rd period, the judges changed their decision and gave it to Gretzky. And then in 2002, Markus Naslund played for Team World in their 8-5 win over the Team North America. Naslund scored 2 goals and 1 assist, and that tied him in the scoring lead with North America's Eric Daze who had identical stats. But the MVP award was given to Daze instead, even though the tiebreaker should go to Naslund given the fact that he played in the winning team and scored the game winning goal late in the 3rd period. But apparently, early voting screwed Naslund as the voting was done 5 minutes before the game ended and before Naslund showed his heroics. Talk about a huge injustice!
