Who are you handing the Conn Smythe Trophy to?

I didn't see his follow-up post.

Disregard. We cool rataylor

[rataylor22]

haha, and I responded before I saw your follow up. Sorry Ev.

Doughty for me. I can appreciate what Kopitar (lining up against Toews and Thornton)

Don't forget Getzlaf.

The guys on the Kings are the definition of teams players. They don't point fingers, they don't place blame, they just take everything in stride and move on. THAT is why the came back from 3-0 against SJ, THAT is why they won game 7 in ANH despite losing 3 straight, THAT is why they took game 7 in CHI despite losing 2 straight and THAT is why they are going to win the cup and none of them even care who wins the Conn Smythe.

Also worth noting, in their 15 wins so far, they have 11 different players with GWG's. I'd be curious to know what the record is. 2013 CHI had 10, 2012 LA had 9, 2011 BOS had 9, 2010 CHI had 9.

Personally I think you've got to give it to Kopitar. Even if we were just to focus on his numbers, he leads all players with 26 pts, but that ain't the half of it. He basically dominates every shift, he never takes a shift off, he shuts down the opposition's best C and forces them to make mistakes which he then capitalizes on. Honorable mentions to Quick and Doughty and Williams but for me Kopitar has played exceptional on both sides of the puck and hes the main reason they're about to win another cup

Yes, but this entire thread is about who's going to win the Conn Smythe, not about who on the Kings cares about winning it...

Drew Doughty

Well said. Agreed. Too many here are WAY over thinking this.

"Game 4 vs. SJ. Allowed 39 perimeter shots against their average goalie so he could make just 36 saves. .923 sv%"............and so on...

REALLY? Perimeter shots? LOL Do you really think the voting is broken down to that degree? Quick just has not been consistent enough. Doughty has. Williams has been clutch but so has Doughty.

[plug]

I'd love to see Doughty or Kopitar get it but I think Williams gets it.

This is spot on for me.

[Call of Doughty]

Guess......

[Zorro]

I picked Kopitar.. I think it could go to anyone named: Kopitar, Doughty, Carter, Williams, Gaborik, or Quick.. They have all done their part this playoffs to help the Kings move forward..

Give it to Wayne Gretzky for making hockey in California popular!! HaHaHa..

[forumname]

St Louis. Huge comeback on the horizon.

Not really, but if it does happen at least I can take credit now...

[Magicstew]

I will go with Doughty - been solid all playoffs.
Kopitar will be runner-up.

[sasquatch]

Give me Kopitar.. but only because he is amazing

[MGW]

Id have Quick in net, and I'm Canadian. That's how highly I regard him.

I'd vote, in order (if Kings sweep):
1) Doughty
2) Kopitar
3) Quick
4) Williams
5) Brown
6) Carter

Nice list, but I'd sub Carter into the 5th spot and Brownie into 6th. I might even squeak Carts into 4th place. He's been effective when on the ice and a threat on most nights.
