I thought this was an interesting thing to look at. When your team goes down 3-1 in a series, or if it's a game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final, simply producing results becomes a lot more important.
What I'm specifically looking at for this is any playoff game a player has played in which their team faced elimination. So it can be a game 7 in the first round, or a game 5 in the Cup finals, provided the team is down 3-1 in the series.
With the Bruins being my favorite team, and with them being in so many do-or-die situations over the years, I thought they'd be a good team to look at. This isn't just limited to their games in a Bruins uniform though; it is every player on the current roster's statistics throughout their career.
Also, I'm well aware of the biases in this. Not only is this only displaying a select few stats, but it doesn't take into account minutes played or ages (ie. Eriksson has 3 games on here where he barely even played as he was just breaking into the league). While I wanted to look for a "clutch" factor, there are obviously other situations where this can be displayed, whether it's in a different game in the series (ie. getting the OT winner in a crucial game 5 with the series tied 2-2), or not even in the playoffs at all.
