00:00
And that was the Conn Smythe.
00:02
And we thought Bobrovsky would be the guy because it was so kind of mixed with all the Florida players.
00:09
But Sam Bennett has now kind of pushed himself ahead of everyone else, it seems like, on that Florida roster.
00:16
He's now the favorite to win the Conn Smythe.
00:19
McDavid is obviously the second choice.
00:21
And Marchand is up there ahead of Bobrovsky now as well in terms of a Conn Smythe.
00:27
I will tell you, Bennett now has scored 14 goals in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
00:31
That's why he's going to win the Conn Smythe if they win it.
00:34
And if the Oilers win it, McDavid will get it.
00:37
And Marchand is not getting it because he had three goals in the Stanley Cup finals.
00:42
The Conn Smythe is based on the playoffs.
00:45
Yes.
00:46
Look, if it was just the final like the NBA is, I think it would be Marchand right now, honestly.
00:54
I think that Marchand's made the biggest impact.
00:56
Shorty and a game winner.
00:58
When you go, and I mean, he's scored in every game.
01:01
He has a goal in all three games for them.
01:03
But a double overtime game winner and a shorty in the same game, that gives you the edge.
01:08
Bennett's having, I didn't even realize until I went and looked.
01:10
When I saw it last night, he was the favorite.
01:11
Man, he scored 14 goals.
01:13
The next closest is Dreisaitl with 10.
01:16
Bennett's had a monster playoff for the Florida Panthers.
01:19
And he's got himself in the driver's seat now, if they were to win it, to maybe get himself that Conn Smythe.
01:25
So there you go.
01:26
Game four on Thursday night.
01:28
You know what that award gets you?
01:30
Makes you rich.
01:31
You win the Conn Smythe, you're going to get paid.
01:34
Yes.
01:35
No question about that.
01:37
One other thing from hockey before we move along.
01:39
They did hand out the Calder Trophy this morning, which of course goes to the Rookie of the Year.
01:44
Lane Hudson, defenseman from the Canadiens, won the Calder.
01:50
And honestly, I was a little surprised.
01:51
I thought he could win.
01:53
It was an absolute blowout.
01:55
Like, Celebrini wasn't even close in the voting.
01:59
Hudson destroyed him.
02:00
He had 66 points.
02:02
I'll give him that.
02:03
And I never even knew he played in the league.
02:06
Celebrini's the Calder winner in my book.
02:08
He was the most exciting rookie and player in the NHL of all the rookies.
02:14
This kid, now, honestly, I love hockey.
02:18
I swear to God, I don't even know who he is.
