That's not even mentioning scoring four OT winners in fourteen games. One more and he'll set the all-time record. It's also not mentioning who put the team on his back to get them into the playoffs in the first place.
I would still say Tkachuk is the favourite for the Conn Smythe.
Iggy & Kipper comparisons seem pretty apt, but thinking the Flames traded away an Iggy really rubs that salt further into the wound.

The Panthers would have lost in game 5 of round one if Bob didn't come in an steal it. They were outshot 50-25 and totally dominated. Break away save in the dying seconds. There would be zero OT winners if he wasn't standing on his head. They had the same guys on the ice with "playoff leadership" with Lyon in net and how did that go? 1-3
Bob is 100% the con smythe leader
