Should Connor McDavid Have Won The Conn Smythe Trophy? | 6/25/24 

In other words, Gretzky scored more goals than Conner and als9 more total points. That's why he won 4 cups, and McGregor will never win any cups. Got it?

Bouchard has one of the best performances by any defenseman in playoff history Ranked 3rd all-time behind Coffey and Leetch. He should be getting more recongnition for this. Connor was almost insvisible half of the playoffs games. And no way in hell the Panters would'nt have made it that far without Bobrovsky who only had a handfull of bad games. Worst NHL take tbh.

@@paulyp1155 I mean you can say he was invisible some games (which is stupid because you have impact beyond points and shots) but he averaged 1.6 points per game. You don’t think that Bouchard is aided by the talent on Florida’s defense? There is far more talent on the panther’s defense than the oiler’s offense has backing up Connor. If Connor isn’t creating offense, there usually isn’t any. Aka, more valuable.

@@paulyp1155 42 points in 20 plus games is not invisible .hes puts up points they win when he does not they lose mvp

why not! disagree

@@8799crosby Invisible was a bit much. In my opinion Oilers I think could have made it to the finals without McDavid. It's a bit of a stetch I admit and we will never find out. But I still stand my statement that Panters don't win without Bobrovsky. And honestly people don't give the Oilers team enough credit either.

I mean you can't say that doesn't apply to Bob the same, if not more. EDM had a bunch of guys that racked up pts in the first 2 rounds. FLA doesn't even make it out of rd 2 w/o thier goalie standing on his head and EDM wins the final in 5 games if they get plopped down there. EDM won and lost games with and without 97 showing up.

@@BHox01 Bob was huge for sure. But, I'm not sure his underlying numbers for many of the games were outstanding. Shesterkin, and Swayman may have outplayed him in many games of the other two series. McDavid broke one of Gretzky's records (previously thought untouchable), set one of his own (two 4 point games in consecutive finals games), and he set a scoring mark only attained by Gretzky/Lemieux during a much higher scoring era in the NHL. This is legendary stuff that the league loves, too. Not saying Bob isn't deserving but that's my thinking. In the end, it doesn't really matter because given the choice, any player would want the Cup over the Conn Smythe.

Which 8 were those? He had maybe 4, if we're being generous. he had a bunch more where he piled up points in blowouts.

@@AnthM33 Game 4 & 5 (Finals), Game 1,4,& 6 (vs. Dal), Game 2 & 6 (vs. Van), Game 1 & 3 (vs. LA). Some were blowouts because he led the blowout.

He didn't deserve it and if you think he did then you're just another pathetic Oilers fanboy.

Reggie Leach had 19 GOALS in 16 games. McDavid getting the conn smythe turns it into a shitty participation trophy. It's an absolute joke. Media shouldn't be voting on it if they are just pathetic fanboys. They desperately want to give him an award so they give playoff MVP to a loser who disappeared in the finals.

Disappeared in the first 3 games of the finals and game 7. Why does he get a free pass but Bob can't possibly win because of a blowout? Because he's McDavid and we have to pretend he's such a great winner?

easy there, Ducks fan
