Only 3 euros has ever won the conn smythe

[Firsov99]

Is it currently a euro country.

Hint: it's not.

Could you please define what is a “euro country”.

 

[kilowatt]

I still remember when the only non Canadian captain of a cup champion was darrien Hatcher.

There’s only three more to remember - Lidstrom, Chara, and Brown.

 

[Leafblooded]

What is that in dollars?

 

[Hint1k]

Is it currently a euro country.

Hint: it's not.

Is educational system in Canada good?

Hint: it is bad. Especially history and geography.

Well it's all subjective in the end, but arguments could be made for Malkin last year, Påhlsson in 06 and Forsberg in 02.

Forsberg '02 put up 0 points in Game 6 and Game 7 with a trip to the Finals on the line as his team was eliminated. That's not MVP of the playoffs.

Påhlsson '07 on the other hand, I quite agree. He would have been the best choice that year.

When did Russia become part of Europe?

25% of Russian area is 40% of Europe area (8 times more than second biggest european country) and ~15% of Europe population (30,000,000 more than second most populated european country).

 

[silkyjohnson50]

Fedorov could have and maybe should have in 97.

Lidstrom could have won in 98, but Yzerman was a fine choice.

Pahlsson should have definitely been in the mix in 07.

Kopitar also could have easily won their last one.

 

[Frosty415]

Hasek would've won in 1999 imo if the Sabres won

 

[BusQuets]

Rask would have 100% won it if Bruins had won Hawks. You could argue that he should have won it anyway because Hawks didn't have any strong candidate.

 

[Seanaconda]

Erik Karlsson should have won last year. But what can you do?

Uhh they arent going to give it to someone that doesnt make the finals . Malkin would have had the better chance

 

[Gsus]

If the Jets go all the way this year, Laine is a strong candidate. He thrives in these games.

 

[Seanaconda]

When did Russia become part of Europe?

The most populated parts of russia are on the europe side of the mountains right ? Its obv in both continents but idk what the point of nitpicking europe vs asia vs eurasia when op obv just meant over the ocean.

May as well just have said only three non north americans ever won it

 

[DANTHEMAN1967]

Erik Karlsson should have won last year. But what can you do?

How about making the finals.

 

[Healthy DiPietro]

Forsberg '02 put up 0 points in Game 6 and Game 7 with a trip to the Finals on the line as his team was eliminated. That's not MVP of the playoffs.

That just means he was all the more dominant before. He put up 27 points and led the playoffs in scoring.

 

[Seanaconda]

Kessel and Malkin are actual winners in 2016 and 2017. It makes it 2 swe-2 rus

Malkin already has one so it would still be 1 russian

 

[Plural]

When did Russia become part of Europe?

Are you seriously asking this?

Peter Forsberg
Erik karlsson
Samuel pahlsson all robbed by the biased canadians

 

[Seanaconda]

Peter Forsberg
Erin karlsson
Samuel pahlsson all robbed by the biased americans

Ek wasnt robbed unless I missed the year he made the finals and deserved it. If erin karlsson is a person I dont actually know im sorry for their loss

 

[sr edler]

Fedorov could (or should) easily have won a Smythe in 1997 instead of Vernon. Had many other super solid playoff runs.

Bure had a Smythe worthy playoff run in 1994 when he posted a 16 game long point streak.

I think Forsberg led the playoffs in scoring twice without even reaching the finals.

Krejci led the playoffs in scoring twice. Chara and Seidenberg were decent on that same team.

Kopitar led the playoffs in scoring twice.

Alfredsson had a decent run in 07.

Tikkanen was always a baller in the playoffs. Kurri always showed up.

But yeah, Joe Nieuwendyk was a better playoff performer than all of them because he was awarded a Smythe. He was also a better playoff performer than Doug Gilmour. Non-contextual award counting =

Threads that start with a single sentence aren't my favorite.

Then you would love Mulletman threads. They often start with 4 or 5 lenghty paragraphs.

 

[yababy]

2 swedes and 1 russian, thats it. Thoughts?

Tells you what kind of players you should be drafting.
If I'm GM I take only Canadian/US player on my team

 

[DDRhockey]

Ek wasnt robbed unless I missed the year he made the finals and deserved it. If erin karlsson is a person I dont actually know im sorry for their loss

Criteria is best player in the playoffs not who reaches the final

 

[yababy]

Kessel and Malkin are actual winners in 2016 and 2017. It makes it 2 swe-2 rus

More like Murray 2016 and Kessel 2017

 

[RorschachWJK]

Who is this Erin? A singer lady perhaps? Or a ladyboy with locks of long hair?

By the way, good luck with the crusade champ! Slowly it will make you feel better, as the bitterness is poured on boards like this one.

 

[KareemTrustfund]

Kessel 2017?!

XDDD

Geno and Sid were quite a bit better.
