Bob is 100% the con smythe leader
With Bob and no Tkachuk they also probably wouldn't have won that series. With Bob and Tkachuk but no Montour they wouldn't have won it either. Probably also true with those three guys and no Bennett. No individual is winning the games on their own. Either Bob or Tkachuk would be fitting Conn Smythe winners if they win it all, but I think Tkachuk will take it if they do on the basis of his leading the team in points and in spirit as well as his OT winners.

Anyways, it's just a matter of opinion and speculation as nobody knows what would have been or what will be. There's no 100% or definitive knowledge on any of this. I would have thought you'd have learned to recognize that and be a bit more humble in your calls after everything this season. There is a reason they actually play the games. We can only wait and see.
