Huberdeau's not even the most valuable player on his own team. Florida was 8-5 in games where Barkov was injured and Huberdeau played. In those 13 games, Huberdeau did register 17 points, although he had a 5 point game against Buffalo - so does that even count?

Well I’ve seen many argue that Matthews isn’t even the most valuable in the leafs. Without Marner he’s not nearly as good. Same with McDavid/Draisaitl or Gaudreau/Tkachuk. If I was voting it would be either Shesterkin or Kaprizov honestly.

You need to watch more leaf games. He's not as good without Marner but he's far far far better than your average cat without Marner.

For the record, I am stunned but not surprised in the least, that the DoPS has decided that Trouba will face no discipline for a clear elbow to the head of Crosby.

When will they fire Parros?

I love how trolls think this is a sick, sick burn at Leafs fans.

So you think the two-time Richard Trophy winner, 2nd in PPG this year, isn't even the best player on the Leafs?

GREAT!!!!!

Hockey fans are stupid and myopic. All of us are. My friend who's an Oiler fan thinks it's a gross injustice that he was even suspended.

It's a clear headbutt with the top of his helmet. It's brutal. I have no idea how that was one game. The exchange rate between playoff games and regular season games gets more and more fuzzy all the time.

Will today be the day, my Leafy friends?

Is there another league on earth that doesn't want to protect its star players?

Maybe the buzz helps but Josi does the least actual defending.

Did the voters know that when he won the Norris back in '20? 🤔

The argument from my oiler fan son was that he clearly didn't mean to do it.

Yep.

It was vicious, he used his legs to drive his head into his face. But I guess it didn’t cause injury so it’s okay in their minds.

How is it any different than arguing Huberdeau isn’t even the best player in the panthers.

AM34 has the hardware to back up his claim as the best Leaf?

Nurse should have at least been ejected for the remainder of the series. The slash he threw at Danault moments earlier was pretty vicious and makes it pretty clear that Nurse was amped and was deliberately trying to hurt Danault with furious intent.

To wit: 1 game is a (frank)ing joke.

So I guess Draisaitl is definitely better than McDavid since he has the hardware to back it up.

I'm all about tormenting Parros for his BS but on this one my take is that its just bad luck.

Trouba extends his stick ...Crosby's skate pushes it back and it looks like that force causes his arm to bend and the elbow to naturally bend out.

I'm giving Trouba the benefit of the doubt on it.

One's the best player on his team and one isn't.

No?

McDavid: 2x Hart, 3x Pearson, 3x Ross, 5x 1st Team AS

Draisaitl: 1 Hart, 1 Pearson, 1 Ross. 1 1st Team AS

This one is unexplainable ...Kadri would have got 20 games (probably still will).

If I was a better poster I'd post the video from behind. SN might have it. It changed my opinion in favour of Trouba.

I like Down Goes Brown’s take. Josi has a better shot at the Hart than Norris. I think Makar is a better defenceman. Josi racks up points (lots of secondary assists in there), is very valuable to driving the Preds offence but Makar defends better and is still very good offensively.
