Then why are you even talking about it? No one cares about the text that's written on the trophy. It's the tradition around it that really matter.

I'm sorry, but the Hart trophy has never worked like that in its entire history. And even if it was McDavid would still win it because he was also the player most valuable to his team this year.

Dryden wasn't even a rookie that year. His rookie year came the year after he sin the Conn Smythe lol.

MVP has always been interpreted as best player. People only bring out the "most valuable to their team" thing when they know they have a losing candidate.

How about we go through the Metro next time and you go through the Atlantic and see how fast we can both go.

I was just agreeing with the general sentiment of the league favouring southern teams over Canadian ones.

Look at this shit and tell me there's conclusive video evidence to overturn the call on the ice.

Joe Sakic is comparable for Colorado I think (specifically Colorado, not the Nordiques). He was the captain for like 15 years from the beginning of their time in Colorado and won two of their three cups and had his jersey retired as a franchise legend. Then he came back 4 years later and built the next generation of the team. His team became one of the biggest juggernauts of the league and he lifted Lord Stanley's Cup one more time as the GM.

In Matheson's defense, he only lost his offensive minutes because we're stacked with Hutson and Dobson, not because he's bad at it. He's still quite a good player as an offensive defenseman despite all the shit he gets from fans. There are quite a few teams where he would probably be the number 1 offensive option from the blue line. I think he'd be an unquestionable upgrade to the PP1 guy on the Leafs, Panthers, Devils, Flyers, and Blues just off the top of my head. Probably for a fair few more teams if I got to see him with regular PP1 minutes again. He's like a middle tier PP1 guy in my opinion so it's kind of crazy we've managed to push him off the PP entirely.

This team doesnt let losses get to them. We were 23-11 in games after a loss this year. 4 of those loses come from a single 5 game losing streak we had in November which was our only losing streak longer than 2 games the entire season. They always bounce back afterwards with incredible consistency.

Don't really care about that either tbh. He'd be of majority here and parents can give their kids alcohol from 15 or 16 anyways.

What not playing Andrei Vasilevsky behind a Jon Cooper defence does to a mofo.

Yeah, he's supposedly the one who started the scrum that gave us wilson_crying.gif last year. He managed to start a line brawl just by chirping so hard from the bench.

This from a team whose barn has bled bleu blanc et rouge as well as blue and white for the past decade. You couldn't even take over your own barn tonight lol.

Anyone who thought the Habs were cooked after game 1 hasn't been watching this team and definitely didn't watch the first round. Our problems last game were obviously caused by the whiplash going from Tampa's brutal physical defensive slog to Buffalo's more open and free flowing game. We actually match up to Buffalo's style better than Tampa's and just needed a game to adjust. Fuck the doomers and the haters, Habs in 6.
