Star players that are bad playoff performers

[ChaoticOrange]

Do you think you are dropping something profound? At this point it is on par with 1967 and round 1. We get it. And personally I find no enjoyment in this discussion anymore, completely burnt out on it.

So drop what you want to drop my friend. End of the day, Oilers are in a much easier division and haven't won anything either.

mhm mhm but also have you considered

I had the damn thing made already so I was gonna use it either way, haha. Thanks for being a good sport.

 

[Juxta Position]

Stuart Skinner, Darnell Nurse, RNH, and McLeod

Edit: Missed star player in title.

Auston Matthews...

 

[Steven Toast]

Stuart Skinner, Darnell Nurse, RNH, and McLeod

Nuge's 16 points in this playoffs is more than any Leaf has gotten in a post season since 2002.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

We already have this thread

 

[FerrisRox]

You’re satisfied with Matthews playoff performances year over year ? Yikes

He also thinks Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is a bad playoff performer. It's pretty obvious he's a bit clueless on the topic.

Is he aware that RNH has a higher PPG in the playoffs than Matthews?

Leaf fans opinions on HF are hilariously delusional and entertaining. Please never stop.

LMAO

 

[BruinLVGA]

Patrice Bergeron.

 

[Fatass]

Marner, Tavares, Nylander, Matthews, Reilly. Until these guys win in the playoffs they will be stars who don’t get it done when it counts. Not too sure if any other club has this many regular season star players. Maybe Tampa? But those guys are proven winners.

 

[Chaos2k7]

They will run it back with Berube, and the world will continue to laugh

 

[Kerberos]

There's a good chance Marner and Matthews would be benched in the playoffs on any other team except the Leafs with their putrid playoff performances.

 

[HabzSauce]

We already have plenty of Mitch marner threads.....

You can never have too many tho

To be fair, it's a small group of very vocal posters that come to the main boards with their blue and white pom poms and can't help themselves.

It's not all Leaf fans, it's just a group of the more clueless members of the lunatic fringe that really do a ton of damage to the reputation of their fanbase.

He was too busy playing Selke defense to be bothered to score.

 

[Tryamw]

Jeff Skinner. Dude just doesn't show up to the playoffs

But is he a star

McDavid era Oilers are 1-11 vs non-pacific teams in the playoffs, let's see if they can finally get it done outside the division. They only ever won 1 game vs that horrible blackhawks team in the bubble, swept twice. Seems like they do a lot of damage vs the poorer teams in pacific but then struggle pretty badly against the Central.

FYI he has 7 more points in 6 more games playing against much weaker teams, context matters. I don't think he would be putting up those types of numbers if he was playing in the Atlantic in the playoffs. The Pacific has gotten stronger over the last 2 years, but there is a massive difference between playing against teams like Boston, Tampa, Florida vs Pacific, even with Vegas emerging.

Matthews and the Leafs have played against elite teams/goaltenders nearly every year

Holtby, Rask, Rask, Price, Vasi, Vasi, Bobrovsky. Every single one of those guys has won a cup or played in the finals + won a vezina.

The best goalie Edmonton has played against was Helly, who swept them. Every other goalie has been significantly weaker than all the guys mentioned above.

Color me shocked, you deflect once again when your thoughts are challenged

I didn't give you thoughts or feelings.
I gave you mathematical facts.

0.9PPG > 0.87PPG

I do love how you thought you had a gotcha moment there jumping through hoops and over barrels, but you failed.
One number is bigger than the other.

Once again deflecting when faced with facts and your thoughts are challenged, try forming an actual response to the original post instead of whatever the hell this post is lol

It's pathetic bro

What are you talking about? My only post in this thread was "Is he aware that RNH has a higher PPG in the playoffs than Matthews?"

 

[Hale The Villain]

Stamkos is a career 1.05 PPG player with a 0.79 PPG in the playoffs

This year was actually the first in his career that he finished the playoffs with over a PPG (6P in 5GP)

 

[North Cole]

Not true but whatever.

Absolutely true, guy varies from junk to straight up flotsam the closer he gets to elimination. It's like he actively checks out.

Good idea to keep hand waving at the oiler players and hope no one notices how far gone the rot is on the Leafs.
