Ok, hypothetically. say the wings blow the pens out in game 6. who wins the conn smythe?
Could you make a semantic argument for Datsyuk? Wikipedia states the following about the conn smythe trophy:
"The Conn Smythe Trophy is awarded annually to the player judged [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Most_Valuable_Player"]most valuable to his team[/ame] during the [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Hockey_League"]National Hockey League[/ame]'s [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_Cup"]Stanley Cup[/ame] playoffs."
If we end up with a blowout win in game 6, it would not be a stretch to say that Pavel was the difference maker. Clearly he would be the player with the most value based on the first four games, which me missed, versus the final two games for which he was in the line up.
If it's a close win, or the wings win it in 7 I could totally see Zetterberg winning it for another outstanding defensive effort.
If the penguins ultimately win the series, I'd have to say Malkin gets it.

I would say the two frontrunners would have to be Zetterberg and Osgood. Zetterberg has completely eliminated Crosby as a factor in 3 of the games. And Osgood has continuely step up with some big time netminding when he needed to. I would go Osgood mostly because I dont see anyone as a real stand out for the CS. He has elevated his game during crucial games in this playoff.Last edited by Lion Nuke; June 7, 2009, 08:29 PM.asshole

Weren't you a little surprised at how quickly the Penguins quit? They carried the play for the first ten minutes of the game, and it didn't take much adversity for them to start going Anaheim on the guys in red. The Wings lost their poise in game 4 after Staal's shorty and then the Crosby goal, but Pittburgh knows they must win one game at Joe Louis.
I agree that Ozzie and Zet should be the front runners but a strong argument could be made for Dats if he picks up a couple of points and/or the game winning goal.I long for a Lions team that is consistently competitive.
