Conny 2012

I think they should give it to a coach this year.

I nominate Torts!

I nominate Torts!

I'm not saying it should be the Adams, but Torts should get some kind of award every freakin' year!

We've failed to mention the Yotes and Blues both had mediocre offenses. Quick has been as solid as you can ask and if the Kings win he certainly seems to be the leader in the clubhouse for the Conn Smythe. But if the Kings lose and he wins it, I am just going to snap. Hopefully Kovy scores 10 goals this series and just completely eliminates the debate.

the odds, fwiw:

Jonathan Quick (LA) 11/10
Dustin Brown (LA) 4/1
Martin Brodeur (NJ) 4/1
Ilya Kovalchuk (NJ) 11/2
Anze Kopitar (LA) 10/1
Drew Doughty (LA) 12/1
Zach Parise (NJ) 12/1
Mike Richards (LA) 25/1
Travis Zajac (NJ) 25/1
Dustin Penner (LA) 50/1
David Clarkson (NJ) 30/1

It's Quick if everything stays the same.

He shut down the Canucks in the first round, and that was a high-powered offense. Fifth in the League in scoring in the regular season.

The Devils beat the second best regular season offense in the Flyers.

The Kings beat the Blues, who had the 10th worst offense in the regular season.

The Devils beat the Panthers, who had the fourth worst offense in the regular season, and the Kings were the only team worse offensively this year.

The Kings beat the Coyotes, who were the 19th best offense, and the Devils beat the Rangers, who were 11th best.

By GPG, the Kings faced an average scoring offense of 2.67 goals per game. The Devils faced 2.76 goals per game.

Is 0.09 enough of a difference in competition to discredit Quick's performance relative to Brodeur's?

I say no.

It's Quick's.

Jonathan Quick (LA) 11/10
Dustin Brown (LA) 4/1
Martin Brodeur (NJ) 4/1
Ilya Kovalchuk (NJ) 11/2
Anze Kopitar (LA) 10/1
Drew Doughty (LA) 12/1
Zach Parise (NJ) 12/1
Mike Richards (LA) 25/1
Travis Zajac (NJ) 25/1
Dustin Penner (LA) 50/1
David Clarkson (NJ) 30/1

Those are the odds?

Put $20 on Zach Parise. Now.

They should create a "Belfour" award. Given annually to the player or coach who talks out of his ass the most.

The winner gets a billion dollars?

I'd like to propose an almagamated award combining two of my favourite players, Matt Stajan and Cory Sarich. Henceforth, this would be know at the "Sta-rich" award and you guessed it, would be awarded annually to the most overpaid player based on several critera including the following:

1. Salary
2. Productivity per average time on ice
3. Total number of hits
4. Total penalty minutes

and last, but most important

5. Overall suckage

The floor is open for this year's Sta-rich nominees...

Paul Martin would like a word with you...

May I submit Mr. $100K-per-point himself, Ryan Getzlaf? He can derail a team in two continents.

for consideration to the nominating committee:

Alexei Yashin is still on the Islanders' books for two more years at $2.2 million per season.
but maybe he just gets a lifetime (non)achievement award?

It still makes me giggle.

 

[puckhead]

if it's for last season specifically, Dany Heatley made $8 million.

his goals in the last few seasons have been trending thusly: 50, 41, 39, 39, 26, 24

What's funnier is that Milbury gave up Charra and the draft pick that became Spezza for Yashin...and he still gets to present himself as a TV expert.

Keep the haters hatin'
