In our first installment, we learned exactly who Conn Smythe was and why one of the NHL's most significant trophies was named for him. (Quite a few readers, by the way, noted his distinct resemblance to the Monopoly guy).
The Conn Smythe Trophy is crowned with a maple leaf adorning a replica of the old Maple Leaf Gardens, which in case you hadn't guessed by now was to commemorate Smythe's long involvement with the Toronto Maple Leafs. Only one Maple Leaf (Dave Keon in 1967) has ever won a Conn Smythe by the way.
