Vegas’ Conn smythe winner

View attachment 716864

Unreal how salty Florida fans are that the refs have started calling penalties against them, after getting favourable game management from the refs for three rounds.

I really wanted to like Florida this playoffs, but their fans and ancillary supporters made it impossible. They're just incredibly annoying.

There are a bunch of Eichel supporters pushing him to the front of the line at HF - it is what it is. In my eyes, he will not win. According to the odd makers, he won't win.

We'll all know by the end of the week.

The sportsbooks have Marchessault as the overwhelming favourite right now, so barring something crazy...they clearly have an idea of who it will be.

How? The voters haven't voted yet!

If you polled Vegas fans it would have been Eichel by a wide margin after game 2 of the finals. It's probably still Eichel.

We'll see how the rest of the series goes (though I'm guessing it won't be a Golden Knight if Florida pulls off the comeback :p )

People in the know have been piling money on Marchessault, and the books have adjusted their prices accordingly.

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

Marchessault should win it.

 

[IceNeophyte]

If Vegas wins tomorrow night and Eichel has a great oerformance, it will be him. He is one point behind Marchy and is the Nom du Jour on the Vegas side.

 

[MikeFolignosHelmet]

Conn Smythe by committee

 

[TheGoldenJet]

Crazy that the Smythe could come down to who has the better first two periods today between Eichel and Marchessault.

 

[Voight]

Personally I would hate to see EIchel win it.

That being said, Marchy seems like the safe bet, feelings aside.

 

[WarriorofTime]

We're like a period and a half away, and I'm still not sure which of like 3 guys is gonna get it, lol.

Based on the betting odds coming into tonight, seems like it'll be Marchessault

 

[J bo Jeans]

Stone or Marchessault either or

 

[GellMann]

That one shift Eichel had on goal 3 is enough to sway me.

 

[jetsforever]

Any chance Stone can pull it out?

 

[thaman8765678]

It's Marchassault. 100%.

 

[WarriorofTime]

Eichel and Marchessault definitely not gonna pass to each other this last period, lol. They're tied in points for the Playoff lead, but Marchessault has the big edge in Goals.

 

[Ignatius]

Marchessault or Hill

 

[Despote]

I wouldn't mind any of Marc, Eichel, Hill or Stone winning it.

 

[CokenoPepsi]

The votes are happening now...which is silly

I got 9-1 on Eichel in round 2 to win but looks like it will come up short

 

[Snippit]

I think it's Marchessault. But for me Eichel has been the driver of the team. If he had managed to bag 1 or 2 goals over the past several games he probably wins.

 

[Hockeyholic]

J.M or Eichel.

Either one is worthy.

 

[WarriorofTime]

Yup, looks like Marchessault has got it. Congrats to him.

 

[mkatcherin00]

I give it to Hill

He broke a record for having the highest save % with a min of 15 games played.

Beat out Tim Thomas.

The real MVP was the injury to LB

 

[William H Bonney]

It should be Eichel. He's been Vegas best and most domiu player throughout. Marchy has done a great job making it close though (and couple win it) but he doesn't impact all 200-feet anywhere near the level as Eichel.

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

The Conn Smythe winner should be Vegas’ depth. 6 players with 17+ points is ridiculous. Even Tampa or Pittsburgh in their B2B runs didn’t have that.

Makes it hard to single out 1 player, and I don’t feel like Hill needed to be spectacular especially in these finals.
