Bit premature since we are barely halfway through the playoffs and a lot of the names on your list will be out soon.
Dustin Brown deserves a mention, 6 goals in 9 playoff games and that is just a piece of his cobtribution on the ice.
I wasn't really saying these are the only candidates just that on current form every team still in it is being carried by a goalie it seems. If it were handed out now a goalie would win it undoubtedly; the numbers these goalies are posting are off the charts.
Just about every 1st period in Round 2 has been followed at intermission with the statement- "Bryzgalov has kept the Flyers in it in this 1st period".
Unfortunately, that 1st period is followed by a 2nd period and a 3rd period, which usually ends with the statement - "Flyers lose after failing to hold early lead".
What's he supposed to do when he gets hung out to dry all night every night? All three Devils goals on him yesterday came from attackers being left unmarked within feet of the crease. Two cross-ice deflections while being screened, come on man. Same story every game; turnovers behind their own net, players getting to the slot unopposed, odd-man rushes on bad line changes, letting the Devils' best players pass it around them with ease. The Devils even had a phase of possession in one of the games which was so one-sided that I was dumbfounded that they didn't have an extra skater for a delayed penalty. Maybe you fannies take me too literally, Bryzgalov is not posting Conn Smythe level numbers, and he'll be playing golf next week anyway, but you cannot doubt his positive contribution to the Flyers' winning efforts.

I don't disagree...but 1) I don't think he's a Conn Smythe candidate, and 2) I don't think he's very good.
