*Buzzsaw* Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Although the Conference series is far from finished, and although the Kings have an equal chance to win it in my opinion, on the basis of the last two seasons, this question has to be asked: Is Patrick Kane the real league MVP? He has consistently been a performer when it counts, unlike Sidney Crosby and Ryan Getzlaf. When he gets going and starts to dangle with the puck, it is like watching a hypnotist manipulating an audience in deep sleep... the other team's players seem like they are moving with their feet in quicksand. The only other guy in my opinion who can match him in puck handling is playing on the other team... Drew Doughty. Either one of these two guys is a big candidate for the Conn Smythe, and both should have been in the voting for regular season >MVP<. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Sestito Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 He was shit the last half of the season. He didn't deserve to be in the regular season MVP voting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nas19 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Man the criticism Crosby faces is unreal. Scores the gold medal winning goal in 2010, scores a goal in the 2014 gold medal game, was runner up for the Conn Smythe in '09, and basically was the Pittsburgh Penguins this year (Penguins went 43-6-4 when he got a point and 3-15-1 when he didn't. Also was the only player (not including Tavares cause injury) in the league that factored in on over 40% of his teams goals) as the Pens easily led the league in man games lost, but because he had a mediocre playoffs (still had 9 points in 13 games which isn't bad at all) he gets just ripped to shreds. Man I know he makes millions of dollars and is basically sitting on top of the world but damn does he take a beating verbally. Anyways Kane is pretty awesome. Definitely top 10 in the league. However he had a very mediocre last half of the season. If the Hawks win the Cup he'll win the Conn Smythe but he definitely was not the MVP during the regular season. The three people nominated for the Hart this year were the right choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g_bassi13 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 I don't think he gets anywhere near enough credit for being the best player on his team, but no, Kane was not the MVP this year. Crosby ran away with the award. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucks780 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Easily. I just hate that he's playing for Chicago. -35 Really. Chicago has grown on me. I can respect their players especially toews and kane more now. Our rivalry hasn't really been there as much in recent years. L.A on the other hand I still hate haha. And no I don't think Kane should be MVP. his 2nd half he fell off a little bit. Crosby takes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Buzzsaw* Posted May 31, 2014 Author Share Posted May 31, 2014 A lot of fans around the league try to compare Burrows to players like Marchand, Brown or Keith. Yes, Burr is an agitator who pokes, jabs and elbows guys to get them off their game. But he NEVER tries to deliberately injure anyone. That can't be said for the above three.
