Clearly a mistake in voting and if this isn't a clear example to show a name is worth more than talent, then I don't know what else can be said. Crosby's performance in the clinching game (2 assists) had to have been the difference maker in the voting for the Conn Smythe trophy. However had it not been for Matt Murray's netminding from start to finish in the postseason, Crosby would not have played last night-period! This was a terrible blemish on the part of the selection group and had Crosby's name been different or any other for that matter, then Murray would have been the true and deserved recipient of the Conn Smythe trophy this year.

once again WRONG again. the Conn Smythe SHOULD have gone to Martin Jones just like what happened in 2003 with the Ducks J-S Giguere vs the NJ Devils. without Jones play in goal the Stanley Cup final series is NOT even CLOSE and a probable Penguins SWEEP.. Matt Murray was "good enough" throughout the playoffs BUT he didn't really see THAT much "rubber" with the Penguins overwhelming shot differential

and btw, Crosby lead the Penguins in game winning goals with 3 and assisted on 4 others. your irrational attacks on the man make you look REALLY foolish, PBW
Sidney Crosbyhas... WON 2 Stanley Cups 2016 Conn Smythe winner WON 2 Olympic Gold Medals WON 2 Hart Trophys 2015 World Championship Gold Medal 2005 World Juniors Gold Medal

Well said LeRink..... I have thought about this and was meaning to come and start a post with the exact thought.... That kid Jones deserved the Conn Smyth for his outstanding play throughout the playoffs and especially the final series.... WELL PUCKING SAID..
well IF Martin Jones could have won game six in San Hoser to force a game seven in Pittsburgh I am SURE he would have been a "lock" to repeat J-S Giguere's performance in 2003 no matter WHO won that game. losing the series in six probably THE reason he did NOT win it

You just cant accept the fact that you are wrong about Crosby can you. Stop trying to twist things to make Crosby look overrated. Murray played great... but he didnt steal any games. Crosbys presence, unselfish defensive play, clutch ability, and leadership, all helped this team win. I dont care about numbers. I watched him play and i know hockey, and this guy is a GREAT hockey player. Nobody over the past ten years comes close to doing what this guy has done. as a whole. To still put up the numbers he puts up, while doing all the other things and having no top talent on his side, is just remarkable. As well as Murray played... dont you think for one minute that the guys in that locker room werent being led by their captain. You can see it on the bench and on the ice. Besides... If anyone besides Crosby deserved the mvp... its kessel, not murray. Go back to philli or washington and at least come up with a better argument for your obvious bias against the best player in the game... cause the more you open your mouth the more you look like a complete idiot.

Here ya go... this practically proves how much of an idiot you are. Hopefully this will shut you up for a while and stop disrespecting one of the best players this game has ever seen.
