I can’t even look at him!

He kinda looks like Darth Vader when Luke takes the helmet off.

 

[stephenball]

Almost blowing it was worth it, because game 7 was awesome.

Feel for McDavid, he can only do so much, even for a hockey god like he is. He’s proved that the gap between him and the second best player in the league is pretty large.

 

[RedRocking]

Holy shit they’re giving it to McDavid? First time since ‘03 for the loser right?

 

[DWGie26]

That awful contract now looks good! As we experienced it is all worth it to win a cup!

Have to think Bobrovsky is a first-ballot Hall of Famer now. One Stanley Cup, Two Vezina Trophies, (One Conn Smythe??), will pass 400 wins next year, will join top 10 in career wins in 1-2 seasons.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Bullshit PR move.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Winning the Conn Smythe as the loser, must be a shit feel….

 

[Calicaps]

Gross. I hate when a loser gets the Conn Smythe. Exception is Giguere.

 

[Hivemind]

LOL they had to cut the audio, presumably because of crowd profanity after the Conn Smythe announcement

 

[notDkristich]

wow, i feel bad for the conn smythe trophy winner, loser

 

[DWGie26]

That is such BS. But we all knew it was coming. There is only one champ so enjoy that trophy and tug.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

To think we remember when the Panthers couldn't sell tickets and here they are tonight. Great for the sport.

 

[Calicaps]

Those hats suck.

 

[notDkristich]

Mission Accomplished, Pres Bush

lol, loser

 

[Eirikrautha]

Heh. Bears win the Calder. No Canadian team touching the Stanley Cup. What a glorious night.

Is it just me, or does Bettman look like he's shaking (I don't want to minimize Parkinson's, but tell me it doesn't look like early stages)? Very Weird,,,

my old ass brain says, nah, he's always done that

probably just benign tremors

Yeah, looks not good, but better than last year if I recall….

 

[Ridley Simon]

The betting public is usually wrong. “Going against the masses” is never a bad idea, in wagering.

So if everyone is taking EDM, smart money is FLA

Happens almost every time.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

I totally forgot about Okposo.

 

[Hivemind]

I have no issue with McDavid winning the Smythe. He had a historic-level playoff run. When the only other guys who have scored as many playoff points in a single run as you are named Lemieux and Gretzky, it's probably worth a Conn Smythe.

 

[Block]

Hawhaw Canada

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Bobrovsky in the Hall of Fame is gonna be a real tough look.

The Parkinson's discussion has been going on for years. It's almost certain. So sad.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Kulikov full circle.

 

[Hivemind]

LMFAO Ekblad almost ate it.

Agree. Just surprised they had the stones to do it.

Seems like something that never happens anymore in modern sports
