Wasn't pulling for Chicago in this one, but what a way to win it.

Well, that was quite the epic collapse.

Quick, who gets the Conn Smythe?

I say Crawford.

EDIT: Rask could be a possibility, not a huge standout from Chicago...

 

[Novacane]

I'd say Crawford too.

Jonathan Quick has no chance.



I'll go with...Sharp.

Wow, if that were the Canes instead of the Bruins, I don't think I could watch for a long time after that. That was a choke job for the ages.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

For what it's worth, I know it WON'T be Rask. But I'm pulling for it anyway.

Only makes sense that a run that starts with an epic collapse ends with the same.

I said Penguins over Hawks initially, then Bruins in 6 after the Final was set. I suck.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Kane's a good choice. His play in the Finals cemented it.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

I think that's to be expected. Should've been Crawford, IMO, but Kane was 2nd in playoff scoring after Krejci.

Predictions that require a cosmic meltdown don't count.

Patty Kane with the Smythe. As an American hockey fan, I'm content with that choice.

 

[tomdundo]

I'd go with

Sharp
Crawford
Kane

on my ballot. Because I clearly have one...

I'm kinda sad that the Bruins losing makes so many fanbases I hate happy: Montreal, Toronto and Pittsburgh. But then again I hate Boston, so I guess it cancels out.

I didn't want either team to win.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Andrew Shaw with a nice bit of class there...

Shaw is awesome, I'd kill for a player like that here.

 

[Finnish Jerk Train]

Andrew Shaw with a nice bit of class there...

Channeled his inner Ray Whitney just now.

 

[tomdundo]

I'm going to agree with this as much as humanly possible. I guess we should just kill McBain so that we can have Shaw. You know, because I already sacrificed him once in that one GDT.

 

[HisIceness]

Oh man that was a great ending. In the end the team I wanted to win did so and in epic fashion too.

Bruin fans must feel like Devil fans did that one time, you all know what I'm talking about.

 

[Gr8Dan]

Haha New Jersey and Boston share the same feeling

 

[vwg*]

Devils choked in the early playoff rounds. Even though it was only game 6 for the Bruins, it was in the Cup Finals... which makes it a lot worse. Bruins fans must be beside themselves right now.

Found this interesting:

Of Chicago's last 10 goals, Chara was on the ice for 9 of them.
