NHL STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS 2016

[labworm]

I just read that Sidney Crosby won the Conn Smythe Trophy. I have to say that surprised me a little ( I thought Murray would get it ) but I don't know how they decide these things.

I also think Murray was the man and should have received the trophy as a rookie goal tender.

Someone also overlooked was Kris Letang, he sure spent a lot of time on the ice and was a major contributor in the Pens Cup win.

Sid had an outstanding run in the playoffs but I don't think as important as the 2 named above.

Like yourself, I also don't know how they arrive at the presentation of this trophy.

It's a vote by the Professional Hockey Writers' Association. Personally I think a contender was Kessel. Maybe they gave it to Syd because he was hit more times than any other player.

And LeTang had surgery on his foot between the final with Tampa Bay and Game one of the finals.

It was minor surgery to remove some infection, but surgery none the less.

"Hey...where all 'da Pens fans at???" Well, it's all over. They celebrated in the streets after the game and yesterday they filled Downtown for the parade....no trouble..no burning couches...no overturned vehicles...just fans out to show appreciation for their champions. Proud of my team AND proud of my city. ....and proud to be a little part of this great thread with all of yinz. My biggest hope is that ALL of us are here next year to do it again!
