The Conn Smythe Trophy 2023 tracker

[Sentinel]

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.

He impacts it where it matters: around the opponent's net.

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.

You can't give a single player trophy award to "depth" though

That was the point

IIRC they vote at the 10 min mark of the 3rd period so it's about to be wrapped up.

Still could be any three of Jack, John or Aiden.

 

[Xerloris]

Eichel should win it.

 

[JKG33]

Toss up between Eich and Marsh.

f*** it, give it to Hintz

Has a player Smythe winner ever went scoreless for the last 12 games of the playoffs?

 

[johnnybbadd]

My vote goes to Eichel. He’s the straw that stirs the drink. Marchessault should definitely get his share of credit for finishing so many plays but Eichel has been everywhere.

Scoreless or goalless? Because he has three primary apples just tonight.

Goals > Assists

Last I checked, goals and assists are both worth 1 point.

Eichel has very clearly stirred the drink for Vegas. Most impactful player all over the ice, completely dominating the play.

 

[Divine]

No way you can give Eichel the Conn Smythe with 6 goals in 22 games. It just shows he has great teammates who can finish.


Marsh & Stone both clearly better, Adin Hill too.

To quote another poster, "Eichel stirs the drink but without Marchessault, it would be nonalcoholic."

They have almost the same number of points but Marchessault has way more goals. Which is harder to do.

 

[Hockeyholic]

Depending on when voting closes, Stone may get it.

Last I checked, there can be multiple assists for every goal.

Last I checked, an assist is impossible without a goal. The reverse is not true.

Okay, how many goals does Marchessault have without Eichel?

It's not harder to do when your getting setup with wide open shooting lanes.

He plays decent d too solid 2 way player

 

[Divine]

Probably similar.

It's not like Eichel was giving him tap ins.

Remember, for every goal there can be 2 assists. Assists are the easier obtainable of the two because they are handed out more.

Yes. He may a last minute push. I still think Jonathan Marchessault.

Giguere?

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

If Marchessault wins it, it just shows how ridiculous Kessel losing it in 2015-16 really was. Would certainly indicate some sort of bias.

 

[Zalos]

Should be Marchessault, but probably will be Eichel.

 

[ORRFForever]

American posters want Eichel.

If they votes get split between Stone and Marchessault, he might win.

Okay so you just haven't been watching then? Lol.

One of the most ridiculous things I've read.
