downgoesbrown_feedHas a player from your favorite team ever won the Conn Smythe?
Probably not, because your team never wins anything, and the Conn Smythe is very much an award for winners. Even in those rare years where it goes to a player from the team that loses in the final, like Connor McDavid a few seasons ago, you’re still talking about somebody from a team that’s won three rounds. That’s a lot of winning. And since the Conn Smythe is the only playoff-specific award the NHL has, that means anyone whose team doesn’t win goes home empty-handed.
Until today. We’re adding a new award to our fake trophy case.

Most of the icons wanted to end up blue/purple/pastel so it was fun trying to make them not be, but I do feel like the whole set did end up being in those colours,lol. They are free to take and use. Comments are loved.

ysabetwordsmith downgoesbrown_feedYou know what they say: When it comes to a hockey playoff series, all that matters is what happens on the ice. You wave away the distractions and noise and just focus on the games being played.
That’s what they say, because they are fools. It’s the playoffs. It’s all about the narrative, baby.
OK, I’ll acknowledge the slight possibility that my media background is shining through here, and not everyone cares about pre-built storylines quite as much as I’ve been trained to. But it’s my column, so today we’re doing narratives.
Specifically, we’re looking ahead to the various possible matchups we could see in the final. With the Flyers out, we’re down to 12 possible combinations of teams, and please don’t ask me long it took to figure that math out on my own without asking Dom.
Let’s look ahead to what June could bring, ranked from the least to the most enticing, based purely on the narratives that people like me will beat into the ground.
