No - he could have reached it, but laid off. That's why the linesman waved it off.Should that have been icing?

I honestly think he has been robbed of the Conn Smythe. He also was only voted into second All-Star team, iirc. Guess he'll understand he will always be overlooked while playing in Edmonton and won't win anything there, ever.Despite only playing 16 games McDavid still ends up leading the playoffs in scoring. Not a single Smythe vote though.

The problem wasnt necessarily the call, it was how late it was made.
I honestly think most of the writers would be too afraid to vote for Giguere if he did that now. I'm sure there's been token votes the past few years but I'm really curious what it would take for a non-champion to win it now.Despite only playing 16 games McDavid still ends up leading the playoffs in scoring.

Wouldn't be overly surprised to see him ask for a trade this summer or next, and I'd definitely offer Zegras+ for McDavid in a trade.

No; IF the call was late I believe it was because the linesman was giving Hedman a chance to jump up and get it, which he didn't. Right call.Perhaps - I think the slow velocity of the puck combined with the apathy from Hedman made it a really tough call in general. In general, imagine if he got the call wrong and then the Lightning scored? A tale of two stories I suppose. We wouldn't hear the end of it from the media.
You have to make an icing call before the player touches the puck, come on.No; IF the call was late I believe it was because the linesman was giving Hedman a chance to jump up and get it, which he didn't. Right call.
Come on what? If, in the linesman's judgment, the player can get to the puck before it crosses the goal line to become icing,. he can wave it off, It's that simple.You have to make an icing call before the player touches the puck, come on.
Not to take away from McDavid but Makar is a Dman, McDavid is a Forward.
What Makar is doing as a Defenseman hasn't been done in soooooo long.
Last guy to win both the Norris and Conn Smythe the same year was Lidstrom in 2002 at age 32.
I don’t know how some Tampa fans can stay in the building and watch the other team hoist the cup and whatnot. I’d be halfway to a local bar by the time the cup is even given out if my team lost in the SCF. Lol.
Truth be told it didn’t sting that much when the Rangers lost. They exceeded my expectations and were playing with house money, imo.
With that said, time to close this chapter, and lets move onto the off-season where I hope Verbeek makes some moves that will at least ice a decent team that will at least be entertaining to watch, even if they don’t make the playoffs.
FactsAs much money as the tickets cost, I'd stay. Also, how often are you going to get to see the Cup handed out in your life?
McDavid only being second All-Star team isn't that big of a snub. He's a center. The center on the first All-Star team was the one who won the Rocket and the Hart.I honestly think he has been robbed of the Conn Smythe. He also was only voted into second All-Star team, iirc.

yes they were teammates with the ducks. i can't stand maroon so it's nice that he was denied a 4th cup in a rowWeren't they teammates at the time when they played together?
Maroon is just an embarrassment, holy shit.
If am i Colorado i'd try to keep Kadri if Johnson retires because he's a playoff performer and he produces in regular season as well.
The ideal 2C for more cup runs.
