Should be Giguere in a blowout, but he didn’t win so I still expect some posters to vote for Richards.

 

[DitchMarner]

Pretty clear-cut. Richards had about a mid-range Smythe. Giguere had one of the best ones ever.

I could see this be the first unanimous vote

never thought highly of Giggy

I was happy Tampa won in 2004 for Andreychuk and that they beat Calgary (now Kipper is a goalie who deserved the love for stonewalling Detroit, he was more than his pads) and Brad Richards was real good

Very easily Giguere. He's in the biggest mismatch both rounds.

Kudos to you for going out on a very long limb, I guess.

Giguere should win the tournament

 

[David Suzuki]

Giguere even with his pads

 

[KevinRedkey]

Giguere should win the tournament

I agree, though I'd like to the winner vs current McDavid as a bonus round.

Giguere should win the tournament

I'm leaning more Malkin.

Giguere was good, but not great in the finals. Malkin was great - and he won the cup too. But they're probably my top 2.

It´s Malkin or Giguere for me too. Leaning towards Giguere because he absolutely carried a meh roster to a game 7.
