Just a suggestion: Now that the 2024 playoffs are over and you can use another player in your brackets for Round Four, maybe you should put 2024 McDavid against Giguere or Malkin and have two Round Four Matchups.

It's actually not a bad idea to include McDavid now that the playoffs are over. I may do a loser's bracket with him, Thomas, Zetterberg and Quick for that final spot before Round 4 begins.

Keith here but he beat two guys he probably shouldn't have to get here (definitely not Makar)

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Prime Toews was worth the hype, but man alive Keith just absolutely killed that entire postseason and was inarguably the absolute biggest reason the '15 Hawks won in spite of itself.

Did you even watch the hawks during the 2015 playoffs?

not much but I did watch the finals, didn't hear "best D since Orr" for Keith let me tell you

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

Love both, but this is Keith all-day.
2015 he was on another level.

I'd be against this, McDavid hasn't taken part in the first 3 rounds of this poll series, it could invalidate the poll to include him now.

It's gotta be Keith

could just finish this series as is and then create a bonus poll of the winner vs McDavid

Because someone crowned Makar the best defnesemen since Orr doesn't mean his cup run was as good or better than Keiths.

This isn't a bad top 3 per se. I always expected Malkin and Giguere to be there. For #3 Keith was one of the candidates, along Quick and Makar I think. Obviously he beat out Makar, but I think Quick would have beat him

Still fully expect Malkin vs Giguere in the finals

I honestly am not sure how McDavid stacks up. I think he'd be #1, but it would be such a stronger #1 if he had a big game 7 and a cup win.

I kind of get the argument for Makar but Keith really was that good in the 15 run.

3rd in points on the Black Hawks 2 behind Kane and tied with Toews.

Played 31:07 MPG

Lead the team in +16 on a team that was +48 overall and second best was a 3 way tie with +7.

Advanced stats back up the eye test.

Sorry I can't vote for goalie equipment here.
