Definitely Makar. He almost double Lidstrom's point totals in 3 less games.

Makar.

There were like 6 guys on the 2002 Red Wings that could have won the Conn Smythe.

Eyes and brain say Makar, and I'm not a fan of today's hockey at all but he was dominant, also Fedorov and Yzerman were better in 2002 than Lidstrom

However my heart is filled with Wings homerism and Avs hateration and Makar looks like a baby and is named after some wack fruit (?) so f*** him, voted Lidstrom lol

Haterade is the correct term

We definitely had something special back in the day that's for sure lol. Our rivalries with St Louis and Minnesota never got close to that level

Makar was unreal in 21-22, best he has ever been.

Completely took over the 1st and 3rd rounds.

 

[JackSlater]

Has to be Makar, but it would be closer than the points gap looks. Makar also stood out more but it makes sense given the teams they played for, so not really a valid factor.

Makar.
