The Conn Smythe Trophy 2023 tracker

[snag]

Drai is carrying the team while McDavid is sleeping

I like to think he is just saying "I got this" as he let the giant get a few more ZzZzzZzzzzzzs in before waking up and everyone else is tired

You think Draisaitl, whose team is 1-1, is more valuable so far than the best D on a team up 2-0 in their series who also happens to be out scoring Drai

If Matthews can win the Hart, why the hell not?

 

[EverTheCynic]

Draisaitl is an absolute beast. Come playoff time, I don't think there's a better player in the NHL right now. Barring Makar playing out of his mind again.

I'm a Rangers fan and I love Fox, and while the games wouldn't be 5-1, I feel pretty confident Rangers would still be up 2-0 without Fox. However, Oilers would be 0-2 without Draisatl. Just my take at this ridiculously early point.

Since it's a game where wins are calculated by which team scores the most, I'll go with Hintz or Kreider with 4 goals each.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

My bet is on the leading scorer or starting goaltender of the winning team

 

[Rants Mulliniks]

My bet is on the leading scorer or starting goaltender of the winning team

Mitch Marner it is!

 

[Alex1234]

Gustavsson making a little push

 

[Sentinel]

Hopefully not… Not a good look for the league

Why?

Btw, it's currently a three-way tie in points:

Adam Fox 6
Mitchell Marner 6
Leon Draisaitl 6

 

[Hookslide]

Mitch Marner it is!

Mitch Marner is going to be on the winning team .............ummmmmmmmmm are you sure about that......

 

[TheGoldenJet]

Either Fox or Shesterkin

Both have been unbelievable.

 

[rangersfansince08]

Both have been unbelievable.

Shesterkin has not really been tested yet though so I think Fox has been better. According to this xGF% is 79.7% for him

Taylor Hall

 

[Reds4Life]

Indeed it is. It's ridiculous to "track" a future Conn Smythe winner in the beginning of round 1. It's absolutely pointless to even suggest names at this point.

 

[Coach Parker]

Hall is on fire for the Bruins. Great start for him for sure.

 

[JeffroTullison]

taylor hall. book it.
