. Justin Williams

"Mr. Game 7" won his third Stanley Cup, this time collecting the Conn Smythe with a dominating effort in the 2014 playoffs. He had 9 goals and 15 assists, the game-winner in Game 1 and a key goal in Game 5 vs. the Rangers. He also had points in each of the Kings’ three Game 7 wins. Overall in the playoffs for his career: 78 points in 105 games. Clutch!

1. Drew Doughty

The Los Angeles Kings defenseman didn’t win the Norris; he was sixth. He didn’t win the Conn Smythe either. What he did win: The Stanley Cup and gold in Sochi, and he was a big reason why in both championship runs.

Doughty averaged 25:43 per game in 2013-14, amassing 37 points in 78 games and steadying the Kings’ defense. In the playoffs, Doughty set a new career high with 18 points, including five goals. He couldn’t overcome the Justin Williams lovefest, but there were those convinced Doughty deserved more MVP consideration.

But it was in Sochi where Doughty was at his best in 2014, including his two-goal effort in holding off the pesky Finns in the prelims. He joined Erik Karlsson on the all-tournament team, Canada’s lone representative.

No Giroux or Toews? Hoo boy, hope the main board crowd gets a hold of this one

Really hard to argue though, Doughty had a season for the ages when it mattered.

Keep your Norris, NHL.

I know having 3 would have been odd, but I wonder where Carter fell on their list. He had to be close to top 10 given Stanley cup and Olympic Gold. He was canada's top producing forward and a huge part of the kings team.

I think Giroux is definitely one of the top centremen in the game, however he doesn't belong on this list. He didn't make the Olympics which is obviously highly valued on this list, and he didn't win any major hardware.
