Historie NHL: Conn Smythe Trophy
Scott Niedermayer•Zdroj: čtk
Conn Smythe Trophy je jakousi obdobou Hart Trophy, ale nejužitečnější hráč je v ní hodnocen jen na základě výkonů v play off. O udělení této trofeje rozhodují reportéři NHL, kteří cenu předávají ihned po ukončení posledního finálového zápasu Stanley Cupu.
