Nobody had a particularly strong case for the Conn Smythe. The Sharks players, despite their first 3 rounds, don't deserve it because of the results of the finals. Murray, not even sure why he is being considered, true he had some big games in the first round, but his team was a shot blocking machine, who constantly outshot the other team and he was played competent/shaky. Kessel has an interesting case, because of his points, but is actually hurt by playing on a line with another contender in Bonino. Letang, who was my choice, never got much buzzz. Crosby was an all arounder, that supposedly led the way to the type of style they played that won them the cup.
If Kessel scored on a few more of his chances in the last two games, I could have seen him winning, but Crosby was the more noticeable player the further they went into the playoffs. Still, nobody "really" deserved the trophy, but it can't be engraved with "Team Game", so not surprised it defaulted to the teams best player.
