PaVel DaTsYuK fan13 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2008 Franzen was clearly the MVP of this run before he got sidelined, but after missing most of our meaningful games, it's really up in the air. You can make a good case for Hank, Datsyuk, Nick, and Ozzie. I'm interested to see everyones thoughts on our current playoff MVP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reds4Life 51 Report post Posted May 20, 2008 Hank is our MVP imho. Pavel is close second choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rice 42 Report post Posted May 20, 2008 It's tough to say. A lot of guys have been huge. I think the Finals will be the tiebreaker, either for Lidstrom or Osgood. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dominator2005 558 Report post Posted May 20, 2008 Ozzie is in top 5 Zetterberg Datsyuk Franzen Lidstrom Ozzie Kronwall Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Z and D for the C 712 Report post Posted May 20, 2008 Ozzie is in top 5 Zetterberg Datsyuk Franzen Lidstrom Ozzie Kronwall Spot on but I'd put Lidstrom last on that list. Not to take away from him of course, but I think Ozzie or Kronwall deserve it more. I might even want to put Kronner higher just for all the amazing hit's he's laid out.

eva unit zero 271 Report post Posted May 20, 2008 I would put it this way. 1) Osgood 2) Zetterberg 3) Lidstrom 4) Datsyuk 5) Franzen Franzen was much higher before we beat Dallas without him; and admittedly, although he has 12 goals, many of those goals had no bearing on the outcome of the game they were scored in. In game 2 vs Colorado, he scored his third goal halfway through the third period to put Detroit up 5-1, which was the final. In game 4, he scored the Wings' 6th and 7th goals in the second half of the second period. Yes, he has scored some big goals...but if you don't think his stats are a little inflated by being the finisher on a couple meaningless plays, you should never talk about whether goals are 'good' or 'bad' goals because clearly you put more stock in the actual numbers than the quality.

JayUp88 1 Report post Posted May 20, 2008 (edited) Zetterberg Ozzie Datsyuk If the Fronz comes back and gets to work like before he'll be back up there but he'll have to not miss anymore games. Edited May 20, 2008 by JayUp88 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Superman54 91 Report post Posted May 20, 2008 1) Zetterberg 2) Datsyuk 3) Ozzie 4) Lidstrom/Kronwall (could go either way) 5) Holmstrom (Just ask the goalies) Franzen would be there, probably #1, but unfortuantly he didn't have much part in eliminating Dallas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rice 42 Report post Posted May 20, 2008 As far as Franzen goes, does anyone think the Wings beat Dallas without one of Zetterberg, Datsyuk, or Lidstrom? I don't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gordie_howe 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2008 Zetterberg, hands down. He was a beast in game 6. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ManLuv4Clears 7 Report post Posted May 20, 2008 (edited) Tough call. I would have to say Ozzie at this point. His numbers stand for themself and he has made some huge key saves including last night to help shut the opposition down.

DeuxEx 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2008 Zetterberg Datsyuk Osgood I wouldn't have ranked Franzen #1 even after the Colorado series just because so many of his goals came during that series. It was pretty clear that Colorado was really outmatched that series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kipru-Soft 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2008 In all honesty I hope Osgood wins the Conn Smyth. Quite frankly because he deserves it, however, Hank and Pavel have both been so instrumental in our success this post season I wouldn't want one to win it and the other have a Sergei Fedorov-esq invisible shadow cast over them in the future. Not saying that would definitely be the case, but these two are just too valuable to take chances! Kinda know what I'm saying? - Anyway... Ozzie, your time has come!

betterREDthandead 58 Report post Posted May 20, 2008 It's gotta be Ozzie. Big team effort in front of him is a plus, but what that also means is that nobody has really set themselves well apart to be considered for the Smythe. If I were handing it out right now, Ozzie would get it. However....if Franzen returns and continues the pace from the first two rounds, he'd be the winner instead. So many big goals, game-winning goals....Ozzie now, because Franzen's out. Bring back the Mule we saw in Rounds 1 and 2, and it's his. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
