The Conn Smythe has Brad Marchand’s name written all over it at this point.
The 37-year-old became the first player since 1988 to score six goals in one Stanley Cup Final. Marchand scored twice to join Esa Tikkanen in the history books. To further illustrate the absurdity of this, Tikkanen was 23 years old when he achieved the same feat. Marchand also joined Mario Lemieux as the only players in the past 50 years to score five-plus goals in a final multiple times, and his 13 career goals in the final are the highest among active players.
