Conn Smythe

[ritari330]

Who is the favorite from each team?

Habs: Halak
Phi: ???
Bos: Satin
SJ: Pavelski
Chi: Kane

Unless Halak lets in a bunch of softies and doesn't make it to the SC finals, he wins the trophy

 

[JustAsking]

Has a Conn Smythe goalie ever been yanked in a playoff game before? I would Squid the nod for the Habs.

 

[naslundfan19]

I'd say Toews for Chicago. Philly, Gagne?

 

[The Q stache]

For the Hawks its Toews without a shadow of a doubt in mind. He comes up huge when they need him most and leads the playoffs in scoring.

 

[scottflyers88]

for the flyers it would be pronger, richards, or briere. gagne missed some games.

Really? you would take Cam over Halak?

yea, you're probibly right

He has 11 goals, the rest of the Habs combined have 23. His minus 2 is something to consider though.

Mine was really just a guess. Haven't had the chance to watch Philly much in the playoffs. Thanks, Versus.

 

[scottflyers88]

gagne is good, he just missed some games.

Then I also assume it would be 12 goals (Squid) to 27 goals (Team 23+4 others from today). Still an impressive %age of goals for one player if you ask me.

Quite impressive to say the least. But so is scoring 44% of your teams goals, not including assists to set up others. Both worthy candidates. For the sake of the Habs, if they make the SCF, Squid better not be still scoring 40+% of their goals. So come time to decide, it may be Halak all the way... but right now, I still like Squid as the MVP for the Habs.

I'm probably on an island in my thinking though.

I see your thinking, just don't agree.

 

[GagneFire12]

I would have to give the nod to Prongs for Philly. Captain Leadership a close second.

 

[KennyBanyeah]

It's Halak right now, with Toews and Pavelski being the only ones within shouting distance.

Halak being pulled in both cases had next to nothing to do with his play (maybe in the Pens' case he was slightly below average) but without him the Habs would have a half a dozen golf games under their belt by now.

With him they are in the ECF and should probably be favoured to advance from there.

Squidy has scored only 32% of the Habs goals, which is impressive enough as it is, but without Halak he would have scored none in the second round.

Cam Ward?

EDIT: My simple math was way off last night... Squid is scoring about 31% of the goals not 44%.
