Right now, win or lose, Fleury has to be a huge favourite. Outside of completely dropping the ball in the finals, how do you vote against him?
Then again, Ovechkin has the starpower name recognition that Conn Smythe trophy voters love lately.
Giguere won it in a losing effort with 0.945.

Say the Capitals win in 5 or 6 and Holtby gets two shutouts in the 4 wins that would give him 4 shutouts in the final 6/7 playoff games....would that not push him ahead of Fleury?
Still lots that can happen in the finals before we give it to Fleury or Ovy.
