If the Leafs, Oilers, Lightning or Avs lose in round one then the great individual seasons by their top guys go for not. Especially the Leafs and Oilers whose great players have yet to transfer their regular season greatness to leading their club to a Cup.

Let’s throw this back in your yard:

Alexei Yashin.

I can think of 4 players all on the same team

 

[Montreal Shadow]

You can only choose one of them for a playoff run.

Tomas Tatar. He was actually a pretty productive player in the reg season for a number of years.

6 points in his last 35 playoff games. And he's never had a good postseason.

Ex. In 19-20 he had 61 pts in 68 GP then 2 pts in 10 GP in the playoffs.

Nugent Hopkins. Soft as butter in the playoffs, has to be carried by McDavid.

Alexei Yashin.

Big Sens fans during those years but yashin folded up quicker than a walmart gazebo in a windstorm as soon as the going got tough.

Yashin would've performed a lot better in post-lockout era hockey IMO. The clutching, grabbing and illegal hits of that era was not kind to purely skill players.

Yashin played in the post lockout era and recorded his signature 0 points in 5 playoff games.

Casper the ghost known as Tomas Tatar. This guy packs it up for the playoffs.
