00:00people don't understand where, oh, the cons might, that's the same thing. Stanley Cup Finals MVP. No,

00:05Stanley Cup Playoffs MVP. The reason I bring that up is if you're just watching from a finals

00:10perspective, it's Brad Marchand. Like, you know what? If it only counts in the Stanley Cup Finals

00:15itself, he should be the runaway. And you say, wait a second, Sam Bennett here, minus 165 price.

00:19Marchand is plus 440. That's ridiculous. Because once again, it's the entirety of the playoff run,

00:25which Bennett does have, I believe, more points and also more goals. Now, Marchand, if he scores a

00:29game six overtime winner to give them the Stanley Cup, could that be enough to propel him? Yes,

00:34it could. But understand this. Is it just Bennett and Marchand for you? Or how about this? Bobrovsky's

00:39110 to one price. Could he stand on his head in game six with a shutout and possibly take that down?

00:44How are we feeling about the Conn Smythe trophy odds right now at the FanDuel Sportsbook here?

00:49Yeah, listen, I think Marchand still, from a value perspective, even at what, four or five to one

00:56here, Donnie, is not a bad bet. Keeping in mind, again, this is a popularity contest. The one thing

01:03I can guarantee is that the Conn Smythe is not going to a losing team. So, you know, a player on

01:09the losing team is not winning the Conn Smythe. When this series started, the overwhelming favorite

01:15was Connor McDavid. He got his first goal of this series last game. So, throw him out.

01:23It's Sam Bennett, who leads, I believe, in all scoring in the playoffs. He's got more goals than

01:29anything. And ironically enough, I believe almost all those are on the road, which is hilarious here.

01:35But Marchand could very well steal the show. And if you can get him at four or five to one,

01:40that's your value play if you don't have a ticket in the Conn Smythe market yet.
