Who Wins The Conn Smythe Trophy?

[izi]

How did Barkov shut down Kucherov (7 points in 5 GP)?

At this point it's Bobcat and after that I'd give it to Forsling. He is like a rock out there.

How is Barkov able to ”shut down” kucherov when he’s not on the ice? Instead of watching the stats sheet, you could look up his production 5v5 when they were both on the ice.

Possibly the worst post i've seen here in a while, bar was low but you went below that.

Saying that Kucherov was "shut down" in that series is false, as demonstrated. Twist away!

Why are you avoiding my question. Kucherov got shut down by barkov when both were on the ice. Barkov might be great, but how do you expect him to defend from the bench. Please elaborate on your take.

McDavid even with great coverage from Barkov is still generating good chances. Bob is just stopping everything.

If emphasis is on the finals, it's Bob.

 

[ZDH]

It's not even a question at this point.

It's Bob for me guys played insane this year it's definitely the year of Bob !! Guy just punched his HOF ticket these playoffs.

He has 2 Vezinas and that has already proven to be enough for consideration and induction. A Smythe and a third Vezina would be a shoe in.

I mean, Kucherov had one good game out of five... that's not great.

Didn't even score a goal

I said last year that if he won the Cup, he punched his ticket. One more year, another top 3 finish and likely winning the cup? Yeah, it's a guarantee at this point.

Yeah Kucherov was like ghost in that series. It was all Stammer, he was phenomenal.

 

[Plural]

I am onbviously biased, so I would vote Barkov. Fully understand Bobrovsky too.

 

[Super Hans]

Bobb Smythe

 

[66-30-33]

Bob.

 

[Frank Drebin]

Pretty easy answer here. Future Hall of famer bob

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Barkov but depends what Bob does the rest of this series. If it's a 1GA or shutout in game 4 then he's gonna win it.

 

[Osakahaus]

Its Bobrovsky or Barkov

legit it should be either one

 

[drktmplr12]

Barkovs area of influence

 

[Catscountry40]

Bob has been amazing but give this to Barkov he is arguably the best player in the world right now.

 

[Eternal Leaf]

Bob for me.

The guy has been sensational.

 

[thomast]

Barkov have scored GWG in +25% of the playoff wins for Panthers. Tied for most GWG.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Barkov or Bob. Bob has a 1.33GAA and .950SV% in this series.

 

[Monsieur Miz]

Bob or Barkov, flip a coin.

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

There's no question that Bobrovsky has had two excellent playoff runs back to back.

But the Conn Smythe is given to the best playoff performer in this playoff, and to me -- should the Panthers avoid being reverse swept -- the most valuable Panthers player has been Barkov.

 

[Marioesque]

Barkov for me but Bob is not wrong either
