IF the Ducks win the Cup this year... will Gibson win the Conn Smythe... IF that is accomplished, can he then win the Calder Trophy next year?

That is something I actually thought would never happen again....

I'm rooting for the hometown (Baldwin, PA) kid now (have a little soft spot for him, because Gibson's folks let my nephew borrow his first set off pads until my brother could afford to get his own... Go Pittsburgh Predators!!)

I always thought that "pulling a Dryden" was a term for being the most arrogant asshole in any room you're in

I honestly don't really know much about Dryden... I was born just 2 yrs before he retired... I was, however, always impressed that he accomplished winning the conn smythe before winning the calder trophy. But I never saw him play or know anything about the man... hopefully Gibson isn't and doesn't turn into an ass.

It's been said about him on more than one occasion by more than one individual that he's the type of guy who, if you asked him the time, would tell you the history of watchmaking.

Might spark the Ducks, what do you have to lose?

Dumbass Budreau didn't do it, but then pulled him a few minutes in to the second. I would have made the change right after the third goal. Or at the start of the period.
