Kessel really did deserve it. The votes for Crosby (he did play well, but not that well) were about maintaining the status quo of the perceived brilliance of a known superstar.

I agree. I wanted Phil to win it because he was arguably the most deserving, but at least he silenced his critics in the post season.
I do think Phil deserved the Conn Smythe too. And the great news is he really is talking about bringing the cup to T.O. for his day with it! Can't wait to see the idiot reporters here choke on that. We have already sent him a tweet offering my wife's Mustang Convertible to drive him up and down Bay St.
I am disappointed to learn Pavel Datsyuk has left the NHL and will be playing in Russia next season.

Yeah...they "traded" him to Arizona to free up cap space, so essentially, Arizona is paying him to play in the KHL, not for them. It's one year left and I believe Arizona has more than enough cap space as it is.
Yeah!!!!
And also Taylor Hall to the Devils for Larsson.
Blockbuster trades of the 2016 offseason until who knows what will happen in Free Agency tomorrow?!
Anyone else following the World Cup of Hockey?
Team Canada jumped out in front of Team USA just a few minutes ago.
Interesting to me how we have Team Canada, Team USA, and Team North America with young players (23 and under as of 10/1/2016) from both countries.

Following the game.
Canada is on a roll. I'm keeping up with the app and I assume Price is the net minder for Canada?
Guess our shutout streak ended. Oh well. I'd rather win than keep some silly record like that.

Team USA felt like a sacrificial lamb last night. Yeah, they scored first but it never felt to me like they were going to win.

Crosby hauls in another championship and MVP award.
Crosby joins Gretzky and Bobby Orr as the only players to win the Hart Trophy, Conn Smythe Trophy and Canada Cup/World Cup MVP awards.
That's something like 16 straight wins now for Team Canada. Amazing.
