Conn Smythe Tournament (Post 2000's) Round 1: 2013 Kane vs 2018 Ovechkin

[No Fun Shogun]

I love Kane, but even he admitted that Crow should’ve won it that year.

Voted for Kane as a recognition of a lifetime of Stanley Cup playoff excellence. How many players in NHL history can say they were excellent in 3 runs to the Cup?

There is not really an argument for Kane here.

Also, @blundluntman I was wondering how you were going to matchup the 2nd round given that there are 11 winners, so 5 potential matchups + 1 more guy left. Are you going to use the Conn-Smythe winner from this year? Even then, you’d still be left with 3 players in the end.

My plan was to follow the same formula as the Hart tournament and award a bye week to the smythe winner with the highest voting percentage from Round 1 (and 3). I'm not sure if Justin Willaims is the most deserving, but if I had people vote for the bye week, it'd basically be a premature vote for the winner of the tournament.

I'm considering picking the highest percentage out of the handful of remaining candidates most people think have a chance to win the tournament
