Who are the Top 5 clutch playoff performers currently playing in the 2008 NHL Playoffs?

Players who elevate their game in the playoffs. they don't have to be stars, just clutch performers.

Update:

Ovechkin? Guy has played as many playoff hockey games as you've probably seen. ZERO.

Thornton? Pound for pound, he might be the biggest playoff no-show.

    1. Joe Sakic!

    2. Joe Sakic!

    3. Super Joe!

    4. Mr. Clutch, e.i. Joe Sakic!

    5. None other then the great Joe Sakic!

    To any of you people who give me a thumbs down, I just have one Q to ask you: Can you honestly say that you have a player who's as clutch as Joe on your team? I didn't think so.
