Talking Playoff MVP

from Damien Cox of The Spin at the Toronto Star,
So if the Stanley Cup playoffs ended today because Gary Bettman needed to spend more time working with Jim Balsillie, Sidney Crosby would be the Conn Smythe Trophy winner as MVP, right?
There would be other candidates. If Anaheim can sneak past Detroit tonight Jonas Hiller will start to get mentions. If it goes the other way, you can’t ignore goal-machine Johan Franzen. Should Carolina prevail in Boston tonight Eric Staal will be viewed as a big reason behind the Canes’ third conference final appearance in six years. Chicago? Right now, the list of candidates is too long, with youthful captain Jonathan Toews possibly leading the pack.

If Carolina moves on and “big moment” goals are considered, Jussi Jokinen would have to be part of the discussion.

I agree there’s way too many variables to really predict playoff MVP. I’ve tried and the players who I might have picked are out. So let’s just leave it until at least the Finals are halfway through.
