Best Player Of The Playoffs So Far?

[bert]

Pretty surprised at how an oilers fan can watch that series and say stone was better. Mackinnon pretty much played like a more physical and a right handed version of mcdavid with probably a bit less speed. He was basically at his peak and you’re saying stone was better?

12 points in 7 games leads the playoffs 6 goals, incredible posession stats leads the playoffs in takeaways. Pretty good playoffs too bad about the 5 minute major.

 

[JoVel]

Probably one of the Other brothers.

Stone

 

[Rebels57]

MacKinnon has looked lethal nearly every shift. It's him.

 

[Unspecified]

The entire Stars 1st line

 

[Trap Jesus]

Stone was terrifying to watch.

 

[Agent Zub]

Stone is my fave forward in the NHL but he was shut down the last three games of the series.

Have to go with Mack.

 

[Ace36758]

Marchand or Bishop for me

If its just skater, then I'd go Marchand

Edit - they had a stat which showed Boston's record in the playoffs when he scores. It's like 20-1 or something. I'll see if I can find it..

Yes here:


Last time he scored and they didnt win the playoff game was 2012

Stats like this have little value. Spot any team a goal and their record will be good.

 

[mattcookefan]

anyone saying anything but mackinnon didnt watch him play outside of game 1

 

[illpucks]

MacKinnon??? It's Ovechkin and it's not even remotely close

 

[MattMartin]

Eberle actually deserves some consideration, 4 goals in 4 games.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

Stone. People were actually on these boards acting like Stasny was a #1C or Patches refound his game from 3 years ago. Nah, they were just playing with Stone.

Stone disappeared in the final 3 games of the series and finally showed up again when he gave the puck away to Erik Karlsson on the GWG in game 7.

The correct answer here is MacKinnon.

12 points in 7 games leads the playoffs 6 goals, incredible posession stats leads the playoffs in takeaways. Pretty good playoffs too bad about the 5 minute major.

He was below 50% in Corsi. Those aren't incredible possession stats.

 

[POVERTY]

MacKinnon AINEC. When he has the puck on his stick he looks like he's from a different, better hockey league.

 

[Trade]

Eberle actually deserves some consideration, 4 goals in 4 games.

Eberle looked like Datsyuk out there honestly. Doesn't necessarily have the point totals of MacK and Stone but that's what happens when your entire team completely dominates the other.

 

[Sensmileletsgo]

Mackinnon not close.

Ya, I'm not sure how anyone could say otherwise. He single handedly made Calgary his bitch.

 

[RMimagery]

Lehner 1.47 GA .956 sv%

Eberle had a goal in each game.

Both deserve to be up there.

 

[NinjaKick]

in sports... especially hockey... I appreciate defense more than anything

gotta go with Marchand for that reason alone... his offense obviously helps... incredibly effective player
Bergeron and Marchand on the same line isn't fair...

 

[bobholly39]

It would probably be more fun to limit it to players who made round 2

I voted Mack.

 

[North Cole]

Stats like this have little value. Spot any team a goal and their record will be good.

Disagree. Vegas got spotted 3, how did that turn out.

 

[swimmer77]

Can't wait for MacKinnon to run over Karlsson, both of them.

And brock. And barz. But theyre all islanders so they dont count.

 

[HuskyBruinPride]

Coyle

 

[Bounces R Way]

MacKinnon by a lot.

 

[Bizz]

Other: Panarin.

 

[rynryn]

MacKinnon. Dude gets a lot of love now but not enough. Stone was great but i'd say ovechkin was #2.
