Drimo 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2007 I also feel Giggy deserved the Conn Smythe. If not for him, we all know the Ducks wouldn't have made it this far. I kinda feel like the NHL was confused with who to give it to, so why not give it to the captain? It's the most PC choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Earthhuman 8 Report post Posted June 7, 2007 True, but he was far from the best in the playoffs Also true. Whereas Giggy was spectacular. I thought that it was funny how Bettman had a LOT to say. When Neidermayer got to the cup he had to pull it out of Bettmans cold, clammy hands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eva unit zero 271 Report post Posted June 7, 2007 Giguere was good, but he was far from MVP material. [/font] I would have picked Niedermayer, Selanne, or McDonald ahead of Giguere for MVP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Airborn 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2007 If Alfredsson hadn't shot the puck at him in game 4, he probably would have won it. He was the most deserving in my eyes. I don't think anyone on the Ducks really stood out. It was a true team effort. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rice 42 Report post Posted June 7, 2007 Niedermayer didn't deserve it. I think the voters must've forgot that the Smythe means Playoff MVP, not Finals MVP. He looked pretty average to me in the Wings series and I wasn't even that impressed with him in the finals. Should've been Giguere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Never_Retire_Steve 35 Report post Posted June 7, 2007 I agree with whoever said it was a total team effort, but I think that Pahlsson had a legitimate shot at winning it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wings_Rule_1010 4 Report post Posted June 7, 2007 IMO, I definitely think it should have been Guiguire. The only reason I ever saw Neidermayer on the ice was only whenever the obsessed commentators mentioned his name (which was basically everytime he was on the ice).

gwelch1340 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2007 How can anyone on these boards say that J.S. isn't the playoff MVP. Answer me this: Who was blocking 30-40+ shots per game from our beloved Red Wings? Who is the reason why the Ducks won so many 1 point games? Who was it that finished with the best Save% outside the 2nd round? Who was it that showed the most character by being with his ill child in a time of need? Who else on the ice is not guilty of going out and cheap shotting players(esp. a player on the Ducks)? The man single handedly stopped our team. The only exception being the night the Wings chased him out of the net.... Speaking of which since when are goalies pulled after 30 min for giving up 3 goals? The man must have been ill or had a minor injury that night. I will quit the Giggy lovin' and the speculation. But ole grey hair definitely does not deserve the recognition for being the playoff MVP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He looked pretty average to me in the Wings series and I wasn't even that impressed with him in the finals. Should've been Giguere. Yep. I actually think he was below average in the playoffs from what I've seen. If it were a season MVP then yeah it goes to Scott, but not the playoffs. Giggy should of won it hands down. Even Pahlsson or Getzlaf over Scott. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RockyMountainWingGal 108 Report post Posted June 7, 2007 I thought it was a good choice - even if the number don't add up. Acually Lidstrom has better numbers than Scott, considering. Actually, Nick pretty much outplayed him in the WCF. That said, he was pretty much the glue that held the Ducks together. With Pronger going off the deepend, he had to keep the team focused and p/u extra minutes. I thought Giguere was the only other possible choice, but he had enough shaky games and didn't even play at the beginning of the playoffs. The Sens hardly threw any shots at him. MVP of the Wings series - no doubt. But overall, I don't think SN was a bad choice. Now, if he gets the Norris over Nick, I WILL really be mad..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
