Henrik Zetterberg has been awared the Conn Smythe trophy as the Playoff MVP.   There was little doubt after the final horn blew that Zetterberg would be the one to take home the award.  His solid 2-way play and never-say-die attitide has made hime one of the best players to play with, and one of the worse players to play against.

Zetterberg was quick to give the honor to the guys he players with.

From the Pittsburgh Penguins,

Zetterberg is also the favorite to win the Selke Trophy for the leagues best defensive forward.

Is Emery On The Out?

On and off over the last year we have heard stories about Ray Emery and his less than professional antics.  His latest, turning up late to a practice cost up in excess of $14,000 in fines.

Teams however can only take so much of these types of antics before they look to ship their players off to other teams.  Has Emery pushed the limits too far this time?

I have absolutely no doubt that if the Senators felt Gerber was consistent enough to take the team through the playoffs, they would have looked to trade Emery months back.  Could this silence from the Senators be a sign that they are not entirely confident in Gerber as a starting goalie?  Gerber’s recent play has been sloppy and he has fallen back to being his inconsistent (old) self.

The main issue, if the Senators did choose to trade Emery would be finding another team who would take a player known to have an attitude problem.
