A number of possibilities. Silovs came up so huge for us, Hughes basically had the entire attack flow through him - but I've got to pick Boeser. Game winning goal in Game 3, huge tying goal in Game 4 (to cap off a hat trick), and a huge assist on the series clincher. I've got to go with him.

 

[Petey O]

Brock Boeser

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Easily Boeser.

Silovs played fantastic for us and Lindholm has been an underrated force, especially on the PK. That all said, you just can't deny the heroics of Boeser. Even putting aside game 4, he's played the best all around game I've ever seen from him. I seriously can't remember when he's backchecked so aggressive, played very solid defense and generally been a threat in almost every game.

 

[racerjoe]

Had to go with Silovs, without him Brock doesn't get the chance to be great. Maybe this would be different if it wasn't our 23 year old 3rd string goalie.

 

[M2Beezy]

Brock Boeser

 

[Vancouver_2010]

Obviously its Benning, he draft Petterson, Boeser, Demko. Also don't forget he signed Myers as well

Really?

Are you trying to piss me off?

Brock Boeser

Et tu, M2?

 

[mathonwy]

The fans.

Boeser, Brock

It's hard not to go with the guy who has a 0.938 SV%, has allowed just 5 goals in 3 games, and has 1 shutout in an elimination game.

my brain says boeser

my heart says cole

but realistically the actual most important player is almost certainly still hughes

Cole is a good contender for the unsung hero of the series. He did exactly what he hoped he would do when he signed here. Steady, reliable, came up huge on the PK, and a good leader.

I voted Silovs, because this kid saved the series.

It was a very rough one, Demko out, CDS out, Pete's offense is limping, Predators rushed Hughes like a pack of Sabertooth tigers.

Then there stood the skinny kid, who turned our net into a f***ing fortress.

 

[Grub]

It's Boeser. Without that game 4 heroics we could have been tied going to Vancouver, lose one and that's a 3-2 deficit.

Well try harder!

 

[crazychimp]

Either Boeser or Silovs.

I do want to say Silovs passed the eye test I knew there was something about this kid, see #570 .

Kevin Durant's mom is the real MVP

 

[ziploc]

It's Boeser, but Miller and Zadorov also get a look in.

yea, boeser wins the "conn smythe" of the series, but we lose this in 6 if hughes sits out games 3-6, whereas i think we win in 7 even without brock.

 

[strattonius]

Boeser was incredible at finishing plays but I chose Zadorov just because of his play relative to expectations. A lot of fans went from thinking we 'kinda might need to overpay Zadorov' to 'absolutely no way we can let this guy go'.

I understand Boeser had the biggest moments and you just can't replace goals but I just thought Zadorov stepped his game up the most on our team.

 

[Shareefruck]

Definitely Boeser. Nearly won a game by himself and made the deciding play on another, both during a time when Nashville started to look like they were starting to come on/take over.

 

[Siludin]

I loved Boeser's magical night but Silovs arguably had three of them.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Gotta be Boeser. Guy had 30% of the team's goals and in one awful game kept them in it for an OT winner.

 

[mathonwy]

Kudos to Silovs for not shitting the bed but Brockstar delivered when we needed it the most.

Honorable mention to Myers nut sack.
