FrozenPuck 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2008 I'd pick Osgood myself, but this column makes an argument for Franzen to win Conn Symthe. He's been great, but I'm not sure THAT great Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seeinred 1,488 Report post Posted April 30, 2008 If he keeps up on the pace he's on, and the Wings do, in fact, win 16 games these playoffs, it would be very hard not to at least strongly consider him for the award. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BeeRYCE 2 Report post Posted April 30, 2008 (edited) Playoffs aren't even half over, but if this did happen, I'd be happy. I'd be more happy if Datsyuk won it though, after all the doubts he has faced as a true playoff performer in his past... If he could win Conn Smythe, that would whipe the slate clean.

Stu in Israel 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2008 I agree with "puckbags," that it's quite premature to be discussing the MVP winner when the playoffs aren't even half over: "wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to early!!" but I can also see "BeeRYCE's" position of whipping Datsyuk's slate clean.

hallelujahlogic 1 Report post Posted April 30, 2008 weird. i was just talking about this to my sister last night. if (and it's a big if, seeing as how the playoffs aren't even half over yet and i don't want to jinx anything) the wings do end up winning the cup, i think franzen deserves the conn smythe if he continues playing the way he has been. but really. this is hypothetical talk. let's wait a few wins, 'eh?

gcom007 1,465 Report post Posted May 1, 2008 Really getting ahead of ourselves here, but for the sake of discussion, if it ended today and we won, I'd say it's more likely to be between Osgood and Datsyuk. I'm thinking it'd be between Franzen, Osgood and Datsyuk though without a doubt and if it continues like it has, same deal. I would kinda expect Osgood to get it if he keeps those numbers up and wins a Cup. It'd be comparable to Franzen/Datsyuk stats but he's a goalie and it's a better story. Personally, I'm pulling for Datsyuk though I think... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eva unit zero 271 Report post Posted May 1, 2008 If all Wings kept up their current 'pace' and the Wings won the Cup? Then Osgood and his 14-0 record would be the Smythe winner. There wouldn't even be a question about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
