Former Spartak midfielder Alexander Mostovoy told that the goalkeeper “Florida” Sergei Bobrovsky is not upset that he did not receive the title of Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the NHL playoffs, since he won the main league trophy with the Panthers.
Florida defeated Edmonton in the seventh game of the last playoff series with a score of 2: 1 and won the Stanley Cup. The winners of the trophy were Bobrovsky, defender Dmitry Kulikov and striker Vladimir Tarasenko. Edmonton forward Connor McDavid won the Conn Smythe Trophy, awarded annually to the best player in the Stanley Cup.
— Bobrovsky deserved this Stanley Cup more than anyone. The man has been playing at the highest level for so many years, it would be a shame if he lost today. But I think the fans’ votes would be split, because they supported McDavid more than the entire Edmonton team. Connor is the biggest forward, I’m delighted with what he does on the court, the way he plays, the way he skates. And if you imagine, it is possible that he, like Pavel Bure, will never win the Stanley Cup during his career. Pasha, moreover, will remain the greatest player as he was. It seems to me that if Bobrovsky is asked about the fact that he did not receive the MVP title, he will answer: “But I won the Stanley Cup.”
Of course, there was a feeling that Florida might squander its lead and lose the series because Edmonton was in the mood and the Panthers just didn’t know what to do about it. But Florida was lucky that the seventh game was held at their venue, it gave them extra support, Mostovoy told .
