Truly wonderful, the mind of a child is.
Puck was going out of play from the D zone for Canada, would have been delay of game late in the third. Hits a camera mounted on the class, and they rule the camera is in play so no penalty.

The camera attached the the glass at centre ice got hit by Dudas with like a minute and a half to go and there was no penalty called. Begin outrage and Russian meltdown.

Glad Hofer got recognition. He kept Canada in the game during the 2nd and much of the third when Canada was looking sloppy and taking a bunch of penalties.

A very strong group of RUS forwards split votes. Denisenko, Marchenko, Dorofyev, Khovanov, among others, all looked strong, skilled, and good. Sokolov was a handful, also. Also liked Zamula, a lot.
Good to see Hofer step up.

My only request is if you have to get him, it's with SJ's pick for the lols

Yeah, that's my one reservation about that. Lafreniere was obviously the *best* player, but he missed two crucial games that could have drastically altered the fortunes of Canada depending on the result of them.
It would be similar to naming someone the Hart winner who only played 60 games in a season.

It would be kind of funny - but they’ve won a few lately.
I think the Senators can take care of their own business. Young teams often flag down the stretch and we rely a lot on our young guys to be competitive.

We’ll see where they end up.
I think they’re too good to be near the bottom of the lottery standings.
Lots of season left.

Yeah, I would probably agree with this.
If he had come up huge in the final, he’d have a better case.

That's very fair.
Another comparable could be Pronger in 2007 for the Conn Smythe. I've long believed he ended his chance of winning it by being suspended for 2 games that Anaheim ended up winning. If they had lost those games, they may have ended up losing to Detroit, or maybe given Ottawa some momentum to carry on and win the Finals.
Suspension is a little different than missing a game because of an injury, so there is that consideration, but you still need your team to win without you.
Not saying he isn't deserving, but I think you have a valid argument for why someone else might have been more deserving.

He looked incredible in a lot of games but he looked borderline lethargic in the game against Finland and even Russia. When I watched his game against Slovakia I was like holy shit this guy is everywhere’s at all time, but the last two games he kind of disappointed me

Can you make a case why? I watched every game this year and I don't think any player played better overall than Sandin. He was essentially Romanov but with a worse team around him, and with an incredible offensive side. They were the best 2 D bar none, but the right decision was made.
Agreed. He looked better offensively than I thought he was projected to be. Interested to see if he gets NHL time soon.
Blew him away how? Are you basing this on one play where Sandin was put in an awful situation at the end of the shift? Also, what's your argument for "better but not by much" offensively?
Sandin - 3g, 7a in 7GP
Romanov - 1g, 5a in 7GP
2+2 is not a small gap in 7GP.

I agree that Hayton would have been a great choice for MVP.
He outscored Lafreniere and scored a huge goal in the gold medal game playing with one good arm.
Got to think the helmet incident hurt Hayton in the voting, at least he was voted as a Top 3 Forward in the tournament, and made the Tournament all-star team.

I watched all Sweden games too and I didn't think Sandin was better than the guy he was paired with for the most part. Almost all of his points came on the PP playing with Fagemo.
