PLAYOFFS ('cause that's what it's all about...I want CUP #25!):
<PK Subban (hungry for a CUP)
<Price (hungry for a CUP)
<Plekanec (underrated iron-man)
<Bourque (playoff power forward star...playoffs)
<Weise (playoff warrior)
<Weaver (playoff warrior )
<J.Tinordi (potential to be a huge playoff warrior for us one day)
<Tokarski (winner at every level)
I had to vote for Pacio with so little votes, how can you ignore a 39 goal scorer who is on track of getting another 35 ? He IS all we have been crying for before and since Kovalev, and even Kovalev didn't have his skating and strength 5 on 5.
Pacio Pacioretty will get more votes when he becomes a playoff warrior/sniper.
He can do it...I'm patient with him, but...in the end you can score 39 goals, 49 goals, 59 goals in the regular season...if you don't deliver in playoffs...you're no hero of mine.
I'll take 20-25 goals (regular season) if it means 8-10 goals in playoffs VS only 2-3 playoff goals. To win a CUP...we need our regular season stars to be playoff stars, or we need everyone to elevate their game (or replace playoff floaters with playoff stars/warriors).
