Who's your Top 3 Conn Smythe Favorites?
Future Boston Bruin Jack Eichel
This is why I stopped watch the NHL playoffs. No competitive balance. 2 sweeps leading into the stanley cup finals? My favorite is having the lower seed team blow out the higher seed team in the first game, and then being swept 4 games straight. BULLSHIT! Not very exciting as a casual fan.
I’m so happy for Jack, I’ve always believed in him :,)
Florida VS Vegas… a joke
I gladly would have used that $400 stick he snapped over his knee in the last clip..
I'm really conflicted : my favorite team left is Florida, so I really want them to win; but I would also love to see Eichel win a cup before McDavid, that would be hilarious
I am conflicted about whom I would like to win the cup. I would like to see Reinhardt win it, but I would love to see Jack raise it as well. It's definitely going to be a classic final.
Honestly I don't get why some people saying Florida vs Vegas would be a terrible Stanley Cup Finals. Sure it's a top seed vs a wildcard but both teams have drastically improved to where they ended last season (missed playoffs for Vegas and President's Cup winner swept by Tampa Bay for Florida) both teams have great offenses where everyone is getting some and great defense with a goalie on an absolute tear when everyone else had written them off. Not to mention both teams are playing for their 1st Stanley Cup. What could be more exciting than that?
There's a bit over 200 people in the NHL draft every year, 2nd is still great imo.
Calm down a little.
His 200 ft EN goal after stripping the puck from McDavid was the highlight of the series for me.
Eichel always had a kind of Eddie Haskell vibe to him. He even looks like Eddie Haskell, which may be why people don't like him. But it was ridiculous to put all the blame for Buffalo's problems on him.
It reminds me, since I'm a Bengals fan in football, of a player named Corey Dillon. Dillon was a great player on a lousy team, and used to get the blame, like the "experts" would say, "Sure he puts up great numbers, but he's a loser and only cares about his personal stats." I'd watch the games and say, "this guy is a great player and busts his butt, and is the last guy who should get blamed for the team stinking because he's their only good player". What happens? He gets traded to New England, is a horse for them, wins a Super Bowl and all the experts are saying, "This guy's a real gamer. A real winner." Which is why you don't listen to experts whose expertise is usually just repeating clichés, easy & thoughtless conclusions, and superficial observations they've heard from other "experts".
I honestly never heard of him before this playoffs
I didn't predict Eichel being a "beast" in the playoffs but I do think that Vegas management acquired hi so as to add a bonified star to an already solid and deep roster that didn't have one.
Brady Tkachuk's brother is doing the same in for Florida.
Just a side note: when it comes to being a star in the NHL, a player's nationality doesn't matter. A star is a star whether Canadian, Russian, American…it is the individual. I suspect (someone correct me if I'm wrong) that hockey development and training up the ranks is similar worldwide. However, am I the only one to notice that teams with higher Canadian content have a high Stanley Cup rate? Washington had fewer Canadian players when they best Vegas in 2018 but that's because they were better. But even then, there was production from the likes of Jay Beagle and other 4th liners. St. Louis won in 2019 against a Bruins team stacked with Americans. Going back to 2007, Anaheim with more Canadian players beat Ottawa in the finals. In 2011, oddly enough Boston had more Canadians and more players from British Columbia; I guess that year these B.C. went home to claim Stanley Cup.
As I write this comment, the Carolina Hurricanes have 4 Canadians and the Dallas Stars have 7. The Florida Panthers and Vegas Golden Knights 13 and 16 respectively and are up 3-0 in their series.
So as I said, a player's nationality insofar as being elite isn't so significant (just look at Eichel and Tkachuk) but look at the "ordinary" players…a coincidence? a fluke? Or am I suffering Don Cherry Syndrome or simply out to lunch?
I think playing in a winning culture really helps as well.
I don’t where this “talk” was, but we here in Buffalo knew he was great. He was more of a playmaker and a little less of a goal scorer than maybe what we had hoped, but he was always great from day 1. The Sabres at that time had 4 good players and three of them were centers and he put up numbers anyway while being a strong two way player. O’Reilly already proved how bad those teams really were and now Eichel and Reinhart are doing the same thing. The team had to trade those guys for multiple assets because literally no other prospects from that period ever became even decent NHL’ers.
consider this the first time i noticed the V in the vegas logo
he needs to see a black barber
Vegas vs Florida who would have thought
I hope Maurice wins
Eichel was supposed to be a Ranger…
if you don’t think mark stone is the best player on vegas then you don’t understand the beautiful game
god i hope the florida vegas series is jam packed with action
Eichel looks a lot like Marv from Home Alone ngl
Probably Bobrovsky. Eichel is a major talent. I never believed all of the negative stuff about him because the way that Buffalo management was really fkking him around about the surgery and when Vegas made the trade for him I thought that they really pulled off a big one.
I always believed.
I was very wrong about eichel, like you said i was worried he would be a selfish player, but he has proved me so wrong. Good defense. Good team play and reads. And a good teammate. I admit i was wrong and im happy hes here to do what he does
I'm ready for the Eichel v. Tkachuk Stanley Cup Final. Both these teams feel like Teams of Destiny (TM) right now. I know I should be against Vegas but honestly, given that they're the next newest expansion team I almost…feel a sort of kinship with them? Probably helps we didn't meet in the playoffs this year, heh.
Panthers will drag Vegas down to our level 1-2 goals a game and win in overtime. Heart attack city but, “This is the way” .
Excellent analysis.
I mean I’m not surprised with his 9 points against Edmonton. You could tell there is a fire in him when he faces the sabres. So why wouldn’t he have a fire within him against a guy on the biggest stage who’s shadow he’s been in since he’s got to the show. If anything I feel Jack had the same pride in him, knocking Connor out of the playoffs.
Imagine Buffalo trading away to future conn Smythe winners (within 2 years of the trade) in the same decade
Got to be honest, I was incredibly upset to see them trade Tuch for Eichel. I really felt buffalo was making out like a bandit but dang was I ever wrong.
Eichel > Matthews
Mcdavid is a lvl above him don’t kid yourself……
0-25 seconds, it's an obvious pass… The click shillers make the most pedestrian actions things of god made…
I respect eichel only for the fact that he hasnt aged a day since the draft
Screw Vages! Let's go Panthers!
I personally love my Jackie boy
Tkachuk with a Stanley Cup has the potential to be the greatest NHL player of all time.
can you stop "pausing" the video in uninteresting shots, and talking over them?
Show gameplay or SOMETHING. Boring videos.
As a buffalo fan I will still say it: HE WAS THE PROBLEM HERE. I know he could win the cup and conn smythe but we would never win with him here.
Florida is going to crush Vegas
I'm not surprised Eichel is blossoming. It was going to happen!
