I can certainly understand the disappointment and even heartbreak that McDavid is feeling, but I have to think that Bettman is none too pleased that he refused to make an appearance to accept the Conn Smythe trophy.
A situation easily avoided by giving it to Bob, seeing as how it's supposed to be the whole playoffs.

I mean, yeah. Bob had three tough games in the Final. And McDavid didn't do shit in 2 in the final himself.

100%.... after everything that Bettman did for him you would think he would show some appreciation

20 years ago the Flames lost game 7 to a Florida team with a Russian goalie.

Tonight the Oilers lost game 7 to a Florida team with a Russian goalie.

Something tells me JS Giguere wasn't in a good mood either...

He was busy calling his agent to ask for a traxey

It should be noted that Matheson, Nugent-Bowman, and Spector are all Oilers fan boys. Spector putting Skinner on his Conn Smythe ballot is no surprise as Spector is a conplete hack.

That is fucking pathetic, and shows immense recency bias by everyone voting. Bob was stunning the whole playoffs. Yes, Barkov and McDavid had great playoffs, but Bob was consistently stellar. Even when he wasn't making the save of the century. The wheels fell of the wagon in game 4, he still stumbled a bit the next game and then returned to form. Only one first place vote and two other votes at all is a crime.

Every one of them should be embarrassed.

Especially the donkey that put Skinner. Stuart had success, but he's Binnington 2.0. IF he's lucky.

Curious how bad of a concussion Barkov had from the other woefully under penalized hit he absorbed.

Also curious what affliction Draisaitl had that made him unable to skate. Hangnail? Cut himself shaving his shapely legs? What?

This group of voters cheapens the award IMO.

If you are going to vote for Skinner, why not a vote for Emily Kaplan's hairdresser? (EK by the way was one of the few with the sense to vote for Bob)
