Callahan Under-Radar MVP

Pierre LeBrun at ESPN.com says that next to Henrik Lundqvist, Ryan Callahan is the Rangers team MVP...

"The 24-year-old winger is the engine of New York's forecheck and has a knack for scoring big goals. He led the team and was fourth in the NHL with 265 hits this season. He also led the club with a plus-7 rating."

...i know I'm in the minority but I really do think that Callahan is the team MVP even over Lundqvist. I felt there were times this year when Lundqvist struggled while Callahan was strong every night. Sure he didn't score over 30 goals but game in and game out he did something to help the Rangers win.

...H/T to reader bpette for the link.
