Top3 right now: 1. Mikko Rantanen 2. McDavid 3. Auston Matthews

Aho ahead of Austin ainec

Impossible to know with the 2nd round just about to begin. That's 8 teams (9 technically until Winnipeg and St Louis are decided tonight). You really can't get a gage on the Conn Smythe until at least the Semi finals. I mean, MacKinnon had as good of a first round as anyone and he's out.

It's either a goalie or a high-scoring forward, same as always.

 

[Midnight Judges]

As of right now it's Rantanen. No contest.

 

[Nosferatu]

Winner teams best player or McDavid

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

I have Connor Hellebuyck, just think he will be a brick wall and go all the way.

Woof, this one aged poorly!

Styrofoam wall.

As of right now, there are no runaway favorites. McDavid basically won it due to the last 2 series (especially the finals) last year while he was, if at all, their third best player in the first two series (Draisaitl and Bouchard had played better). Meaning that even if there were some favorites right now, we wouldn't know shit.

I’d give Rantanen the slight edge right now over McDavid when factoring in narrative.

In the end, it will be McDavid collecting his second.

 

[Hollowmoon]

For now it's Rantanen or McJesus.

Could be but like others have said once the SC finalists have been determined it will be a plyer between those 2 teams and it's way too early to tell.

Disrespectful to Auston Matthews here. Statistically speaking it’s harder for the leafs to make the second round than for a team to win the cup, so Matthews should get a Conn Smythe right now for this rare achievement.

If they were going to award the Conn Smythe trophy to a referee, I don't think Steve Kozari would be their first choice. Looking up the officials who got selected to work the playoffs, it actually says that he missed out on selection due to an injury. 22 referees and 22 linesmen get selected for the playoffs, with cuts after each round, but I don't know the numbers on how many are cut each round. However, by the SCF, I think they only have two separate crews remaining, plus one each as a reserve, for 5 referees and 5 linesmen total.

He really didn’t. Bad in game 5 and 6 while your team gets knocked out as the favourite isn’t “as good as a first round as anyone”

Bob. Just a hunch

Honorary lifetime achievement Conn Smythe for Toronto?

 

[torniojaws]

Rantanen, Frederik Andersen possibly (GAA 1.59, .936, 3 wins), McJesus, at the moment, in no specific order.

 

[eojsmada]

Can't even fathom an answer until about halfway through the Conference Finals.

Avs announcer: MIKKO!!!!!!!

 

[Captain Controversy]

Probably mcdavid or draisaitl.
Or.....Calvin Picard.

 

[Strangle]

William Nylander

 

[The Abusement Park]

If the Avs somehow win the Cup I think it's Mackinnons Smythe.

But I kinda have a gut feeling Kucherov gets a Smythe this year.

All time horrible post. Go me.
