"CLUTCH RATING - Important Goals & Assists-Power Play Appearances"
Lemaire, Larouche, Lefley, Merrick, Bennett, and St. Saveur were all on the ice for a similar number of power play goals. And Lemaire probably scored too many of his points when the game was out of reach to rank high in "Important Goals & Assists", as a player on an elite team as opposed to an average team.
All of which says that the clutch rating may be internally consistent but wasn't measuring anything meaningful.
Off topic.
The poll was made after Lemaire's arguably worst season, and certainly his worst as fa as shooting percentage is concerned. And quite after his string of good playoffs in the late 60, early 70.
