Technically, the winner of the Conn Smythe doesn't even need to play in the final, as its an MVP for the whole playoffs and not just that round. There was some talk in 2002 that Peter Forsberg, who led the playoffs in points despite not making the finals (Det-Car), could get some votes. Those votes aren't public though so we'll never know.

Karlson got a vote last year even though the Sens didn’t make it.

So....who was posting that Vegas bought a team and doesn’t deserve to be in the finals?

Just a random question.

The funny thing is, Vegas 4th line has Pebbles and Reaves on it

Not ideal

Yeah, Reaves and Bellemare looked great last night, and I couldn’t fathom how.

Agreed.

I've never really understood why the NHL is so reluctant to call penalties. They've been struggling with how to increase scoring for YEARS, what would increase scoring more than penalizing obstruction and having more PPs?

I get that they don't want to obstruct the 'flow of the game', but all the holding and interference already does that - it slows things down, reduces scoring opportunities and shots, and makes the game feel more like a slog.

A few people making lucky bets on the Knights are making some good cash.

Caps are the better team. Knights could of course still win the series, but with how the caps look it isn’t likely.

They would have to sign an elite player to be in the mix again, and I have my doubts on that

Jesus Christ man. I’m a huge Preds fan, I was super upset when the Preds lost a year ago, so I get heartbreak. Lighten up, and Get really drunk, and it’ll be loving fine.

You can't blame losing in 5 on anything other than getting outplayed imo

Just like the 98 Capitals probably didn’t deserve to be in the playoffs, the Knights may have played above their talent level to get there as well. See you in 2028 when the Knights next have a chance.

Mobster bookies had Sbisa on the payroll to “gently caress up” in the third.

Ironically unknown to Sbisa. Safest bet the bookies ever made.
