The Conn Smythe Trophy 2023 tracker

[KrisLetAngry]

Assuming and with how the current playoffs are going

Florida v Vegas

S tier- Brobovsky
A Tier - Tkachuk Eichel Stone

Now if Dallas comes back

Hintz A tier
B tier Hieskanen

I just don't think this is the year for Conn Smythe Defensemen.

 

[NeelyWasAWarrior]

It belongs to Matty Ice. This post season he's had several walk off ending goals. Never seen anything like it. At the very least he'd probably share it with Bob if they win it all.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Eichel for Vegas.

Tkachuk or Bob for Florida depending on the finals. If Bob continues with a .999SV% he gets it. If Tkachuk scores 3 more game winners in the cup final, he gets it.

 

[Mitch nylander]

Easily still Bob for me.

 

[IceNeophyte]

Eichel for Vegas.

Tkachuk or Bob for Florida depending on the finals. If Bob continues with a .999SV% he gets it. If Tkachuk scores 3 more game winners in the cup final, he gets it.

Hill's Save percentage is higher than Bob's. Kinda freaks me out.

 

[Alex K]

Hill's Save percentage is higher than Bob's. Kinda freaks me out.

Probably because Bob had to face Boston Bruins in the 1st round

 

[IceNeophyte]

Probably because Bob had to face Boston Bruins in the 1st round

And Hill faced the Edmonton Oilers.....

It will be fun to see which one of these stories continues from the ECF to the cup finals:

- Barkov: 0 goals against
- Tkachuk: 3 GWG in 4 games
- Bobrovsky: 10.32 goals saved above expected in 4 games

 

[Pierre Larouche]

Easily still Bob for me.

Easily still Bob for me as well. He’s the sole reason Florida is still playing. Without his stonewalling of every other team- Florida would be golfing. He’s inspired them, given the team confidence and swagger to beat anyone.

 

[Pierre Larouche]

Bobrovsky gets my vote, it's ridiculous that he can continue at that insane level - the saves he makes!

Mine as well- he has reminded me of Vasilevsky when he was on fire. He would almost demoralize the other team because they couldn’t score on him. Bob has done this to every opponent the Panthers faced this postseason. He’s been incredible.

 

[Treb]

At this point, in order:
Tkachuk
Barkov
Bobrovsky
Montour
Verhaeghe

or

Stone
Eichel
Hill
Pietrangelo
Marchessault

In the hail mary chance Dallas makes it

Hintz
Hintz
Hintz
Robertson
Heiskanen
Pavelski
Benn

 

[appleinyoureye]

Bobrovsky is the clear winner at this point.

 

[JoVel]

At this point, in order:
Tkachuk
Barkov
Montour
Verhaeghe
Bobrovsky

That's one weird order.

 

[MrLouniverse]

Will Karlsson wins it, you heard it here first.

 

[Dr Pepper]

At this point, in order:
Tkachuk
Barkov
Montour

Bobrovsky

Stone
Eichel
Hill
Pietrangelo
Marchessault

Hintz
Hintz
Hintz
Robertson
Heiskanen
Pavelski
Benn

I know it's incredibly unlikely but I still had to laugh at Benn even being an option on a list like this.

 

[OilWagon]

Bob or Tkachuk

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

Tkachuk
Bob
Marchessault
Eichel

In that order.

 

[grapes55]

I think it's Bob's to lose at this point if he keeps up his play. I could see Tkachuk winning if Florida wins the cup and he has a few more GWGs. I think the fact that VGK has been so balanced in addition to Bob's insane run makes it possible for him to win even if Florida loses the series

Forgetting about a certain someone here are we?

Who?

 

[Treb]

Forgetting about a certain someone here are we?

Jog my memory?

 

[authentic]

Who?

Oh nevermind, Bobrovsky is there but he has Barkov ahead for some strange reason.

Take any one of the three players out and the Panthers are not in the Stanley Cup Final.

Granted, Barkov is currently third (within Florida) in the running for the CS Trophy. Still, he is the team’s best player, but as for an inspiration to the others and thus lifting everybody else up, he is the 3rd. Check his 5-on-5 goals for and against for starters.

Barkov had his first good series against Carolina, in which he was still clearly outplayed by Bobrovsky. Before that he wasn't even considered to be doing very well in the playoffs

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

I think if Florida wins two games in the finals it might go to Bob no matter who wins the cup.
