Who Wins The Conn Smythe Trophy?

[Ruggs225]

If the panthers win the conn smythe goes to the refs. The amount of flopping and interface they commit is unreal. Yet no penalties are called

 

[Hockeyholic]

Barclay Goodrow & Lafreniere

No, if it’s the Rangers, Igor…

 

[yrrebbor]

Igor, maybe Toch.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I think we’re down to Igor or Troch for the Rangers. Maybe an outside chance for Mika if he really booms the next 6 wins.

But our two best players have easily been those first two so far these playoffs.

 

[BluesyShoes]

I think the concept of the Conn Smythe should be different. I mean, it should be awarded to the playoff's most valuable player, not just to the player with the most points on the winning team. So yeah, McDavid is clearly the best player in the playoffs at the moment and should be the frontrunner for it.

I like the Smythe as is, it is not always the leading scorer, but most often the MVP for the winning team. Even though it has in the past, I don't think it should ever go to a loser; it being a winning performance is part of the award in my mind. As it is now, it is IMO the most special player award in the league; it memorializes your performance that lead your team to a cup. You tell someone the winning team and Smythe winner and they'll have a good idea what that winning run looked like.

I'm not even sure players would even want the Conn Smythe if they lost. They award it on the ice; it wouldn't hit the same if the winner was golfing.

A goalie: Bob, Shesterkin, or Otty

 

[Felidae]

Barkov, Shesterkin, Draisatl and Heiskanen are the Conn Smythe candidates of their respective teams so far with Draisatl being the best of the bunch imo.

Shesterkin

The Dallas Stars music man !!!

Ignorance is bliss eh?!!

No, if it’s the Rangers, Igor…

I don’t know. Igor is def up there. But Trochek is literally in on everything. Playing time/asst or scoring big goals/face offs/hitting etc
Guy is a freaking stud and an absolute bargain on his current contract

 

[CN8]

I meant the positive he turned it into
Good sportsmanship I find it hard to hate the Stars

Fair
My apologies for misunderstanding
You obviously understand the circumstances surrounding this particular song and it’s meaning.

 

[FinPanda]

Heiskanen is my pick

 

[gretzkyoilers]

Skinner
Nurse

 

[TheBeard]

Is there even a clear cut favorite on any team?

 

[Bounces R Way]

@Summer Rose is my pick, puttin in work these playoffs

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Skinner
Nurse

Fair. Ian Cole would have been there if the team went deeper.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Stuart Skinner or Darnell Nurse. Take your pick.

 

[jigglysquishy]

McDavid putting the team on his back this series.

7 points in 4 games + 4

Now up to 28 points in the playoffs, first in the league.

He's the BEST !!!!

Now we need to see him in a Canadian Best on Best jersey.

Barkov, Shesterkin, Draisatl and Heiskanen are the Conn Smythe candidates of their respective teams so far with Draisatl being the best of the bunch imo.

Sure but if the Oilers win it's probably going to the captain right?

 

[Shibumi]

Bouchard is working his way into the conversation.

 

[GlitchMarner]

Draisaitl was better than McDavid through the first two rounds, but McDavid has been Edmonton's best player against Dallas (their best opponent so far).

As of now, he has to be their leading Smythe candidate, with Bouchard being in the conversation.
