Subban and Kessel are good examples why Canadian teams aren't winning Cups recently

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8NkqsSsliU Go Team With Ryan Johansen and PK Subban. Good luck with the Final and RyJo's contract negotiation because those can be tricky. Does Nashville have a zoo? They'd better lock up the penguins or any penguin-like birds.

Mike Sullivan is an insanely good coach based on sample size only: https://twitter.com/Goatzel/status/867957747400167424 https://twitter.com/LetsTalkPens/status/867958084332736512

I don't mind if the Preds beat us honestly because I like PK; but I'll still root for the Penguins out of civic pride. I do think if the Pens could win if they get to Rinne like they have historically (these stats probably don't matter though)

I don't know man. The only reason this was a series at all was because of a hot goalie. Sid is back and even this this garbo defense i think they out score the preds

Rooting for the Preds but suspecting the Pens might take it

Anyway I'm really excited to see the team with an insanely good defensive corps but injured offence take on the team with insanely good forwards but injured defence. I think that Nashville takes it because their defence is more thorough than Pittsburgh's offence, but that my just be me wishing upon the glowing star that is PK Subban. Side question: assuming nothing in the finals changes this, which player from each team would get the Conn Smythe? I assume Rinne for Nashville, but I have no idea who would get it for Pittsburgh now that Murray has supplanted Fleury.

Just looking at points, you got Geno and Sid sitting at the top with 24 and 20 so probably one of them. I'd love for Forsberg to have an outside shot at a Conn Smythe.

You can't deny this is the best possible final matchup. Either the Penguins win and prove skill and stars still have a place in this game or the Predators win and shove "narrative" up the rear end of a lot of people who deserve it.

They already did the "eh, gently caress it, give it to Crosby" thing last year, so Malkin would be my guess unless Crosby goes apeshit in the Finals. Like 96% it's going to be Rinne if the Preds win. The Dirty Burger posted:God drat, how bad of a coach was Mike Johnston He was the worst coach in NHL history (and no I'm not even excluding Barry Melrose or Patrick Roy) and it will forever be a mystery how in the hell he managed to get hired to coach an NHL team e: Like there are plenty of bad coaches who you can at least look at and say, okay yeah, I can see how he at least looks and sounds like a hockey coach. Johnston was legendary not just for being a terrible coach but also for standing on the bench for 2+ hours, every single game, with a distant perplexed squinting look on his face like he's trying to remember where he left his car keys.

Ask the zillions of people who thought Kessel and/or Murray got jobbed  All I'm saying is if there's no clear winner then they're probably not going to give it to the same dude they gave it to last year, even if he deserves it. e: See also the fact Nicklas Lidstrom did not get 15 Norris Trophies

I sort of wanted Phil to get it but Crosby played much harder minutes. He was the correct choice.

Crosby's flat out the best player on the ice 100% of the time that he's out there. Was last year, still is this year, if the Penguins win the Cup he ought to get the Smythe again. But I doubt he will unless he finishes way ahead of the field on points, it's not just a hockey thing, award voters in all sports don't like giving an award to the same guy they gave it to last year. fakeedit: The entire list of back-to-back Conn Smythe winners is: Bernie Parent and Mario Lemieux. Even Gretzky only got it in 2 of his 4 Cup years, Messier and a guy on the losing team got the other 2. When the Islanders won 4 straight Cups they gave the Smythe to 4 different dudes. e: vvv Yeah and more recently Jordan's 6 Finals MVPs, basketball is definitely an exception. But then basketball is a MUCH more star driven sport than any other. Eric the Mauve fucked around with this message at 06:41 on May 26, 2017 |
