Series MVP:
It's tempting to go with 34 - he was big when it mattered - or Sammy, but the numbers weren't totally there.
It's gotta be Mo - he was the best skater period on either team for all six games.
Unsung Hero Award:
Noel Motherf***ing Acciari got a few goals, laid the body down hard and always gave 110. Bring this junkyard dawg back and do it as soon as the last whistle stops.
HM to Kucherov's coke dealer who I dunno must have been arrested or something - because that guy was nowhere to be seen. Stamkos has two cups but is historically unclutch but got them on the board when it mattered.
Missing in Action Award:
It's hard to be salty with this win and his numbers are there but just where the f*** was Willy? Best boy the last two years was a distant 6th-7th, he needs to crack down against whoever comes next.
No Holl, ever again, ever. I mean f***ing ever...I don't care how good a guy he is and how much the bys love him, this is a business and players go all the time. This is a 2-1 regulation loss with him playing.
Saltiest Fanbase Award:
-150 Edmonton +130 Vancouver.
The Opposition:
Seen Stamkos? Yeah for like a minute.
Kucherov - no good.
Vasi was extremely elite in games 5 and six but it wouldn't have come to that if he wasn't such a tire fire in 2-3-4.
I laughed when Kucherov went into the boards last game, because he's a slimy, stealth-dirty player, all-world skill or not - but not when Point took his ride in; honest, hardworking, fundamentally solid Canadian boy.
Hedman was their best D but that's expected but was only the best D in game three - Mo ate his lunch.
Sergachev even looks like a moron.
Hagel is a female sexual organ.
Tanner Jeannot...if Tampa didn't have two Cups already that's not just fireable but blacklistable.
Tampa's depth guys - Cirelli, Raddish, Killorn and Colton - were great throughout the series. Cirelli is signed but I'd love me some Alex Killorn on a fair deal and you know they're gonna keep Colton (I would).
Boston has looked human and Florida has the depth of a puddle - bring it on!
