Patrick Kane is MVP of the NHL, and it isn't very close.
The Blackhawks star on Wednesday was awarded the Hart Trophy, given to the league's top player, after winning the vote in a landslide. He is the first United States-born player to capture the honor.

Kane received 121 of a possible 150 first-place votes (1,395 points). Sidney Crosby of the Stanley Cup-winning Penguins (800 points) and Jamie Benn of the Stars (637 points) finished second and third, respectively. Kane, who led the NHL with 106 points, also took home the Ted Lindsay Award, for the league's MVP as voted on by players, so this was pretty much a consensus choice.
