The team that won silver gets no nominations? Fine, I guess.

 

[FanHabtic*]

Who won the best smile award?

 

[Cruor]

The team that won silver gets no nominations? Fine, I guess.

Who would you nominate? I could see Panarin taking a place in the all-star team.

 

[satbank]

Hellebuyck

 

[Koonta]

Best goaltender should have been Hellebuyck for USA instead of Rinne.

Such a versatile smile...

The 'friendly neighbourhood serial killer' smile:

The 'sexpest' smile:

The 'that Seans a nice kid but there is something not quite right with him' smile:

The 'friendly neighbourhood serial killer' smile:

Can't beat that one.

 

[Hockey Nightmare]

Couturier has to decide if he want to be a hockey player or a James Bond villain.

 

[Tripod]

Can't beat that one.

Couts is a monster!

Usually one of the finalists is completely snubbed.

 

[TrillMike]

Happy for Spezza

 

[DrunkUncleDenis]

Jagr MVP is a total joke, but it makes sense being that the tourney is in the Czech Republic. Lifetime Achievement Award ftw.

Happy for Spezza

Me too. Finally getting his dues.

 

[Nordic*]

OEL was the best defenceman.

 

[TheGoldenJet]

Jagr MVP is a total joke

Yep.

Best Goaltender: Hellebuyck
Best Defender: OEL
Best Forward: Crosby
MVP: Jagr(really think he was)

 

[Zybalto]

I don't mind the sentimental MVP choice of Jagr (reminds me of Zidane a few years ago) but on straight merit, Brent Burns was the MVP. I thought he was good but I did'nt realize he could be THAT good.

Great puck movement, 11 points in ten games, +12, minute cruncher and defensively dominant all tourney including completely shutting down MVP Jagr in the Semis.
