pretty incredible run when you consider their injuries and the band of misfits they've had on the blue line since about January.

and then Murray, two Stanley cups as a rookie. quite a start to a career.

Crosby is only 29 so we have many more years of this until someone on that side of the bracket can show the ability to beat this team 4 times in 7 tries.

Eff the pens. Greatness my arse. The NHL is rigged beyond belief and it's no surprise the golden boys benifet.

Malkin was flat robbed of the Conn Smythe. I don't see any viable argument for Crosby ahead of him or Guentzel other than fame.

Crosby only had one goal in the Finals, and it was late in a blowout. He only scored a goal in game decided by two or less goals twice in the entire postseason. Guentzel, by contrast, had 5 game winning goals. Malkin led the team in points and goals, had a better plus/minus, and was one of two Penguins to have a positive possession this postseason (Kessel was the other). I'm not surprised the NHL's open xenophobia prevented Malkin from winning the MVP he rightly earned, but I am disappointed. At least had they given it to Guentzel, they had a legit case there for the GWG.
