Who was a bigger play-off First Round disappointment - Tavares or Gaudreau?

[Fugazy]

Gaudreau.

 

[McFlyingV]

Gaudreau by a landslide. He was a complete non-factor in his series when he's expected to be his team's best forward.

Marner

Gaudreau

I mean, at least Tavares scored in his do-or-die game and got them a little hope after 40 minutes

 

[jetsforever]

Definitely Gaudreau

 

[Deficient Mode]

Tavares played well.

 

[kp61c]

what about marner and nylander? so much hype only to crap the bed in the playoffs.

 

[blinkman360]

Gaudreau was relied on to score - that's it - and he didn't. In fact he was invisible for pretty much the entire series outside of Game 7.

Tavares was relied on to score AND neutralize the Bergeron line. He did an OK job - not great but not bad. Not what you'd hope for from your big money signing, but he was still night and day above Gaudreau on the productivity-scale.

Tavares. He was supposed to help the Leafs take the next step , he didn't. Gaudreau disappointed as well but for me Tavares was the bigger disappointment.

 

[Karl Eriksson]

Tavares played well.

 

[LeafsNation75]

The obvious answer is Gaudreau. Calgary lost in 5 games as the #1 seed in the Western Conference and that makes him look even worse.

At least Tavares still showed up in Game 7 and scored the only Leafs goal which got them back in the game.

Tavares outproduced Bergeron head to head. Gaudreau sucked in every way and only stood out when he tried to draw calls

Yet someone like Don Cherry only pointed out the Leafs when they were complaining about not getting any calls and he does not call out Gaudreau for doing the same thing.

At 5-on-5 Bergeron was 3 goals for, 1 against vs. Tavares. If you include empty nets, it was 6-2. Bergeron was also on the ice for 2 PP goals against when Tavares was on.

Bergeron had 0 goals and 0 primary assists at 5v5, so Tavares deserves a lot of credit. I thought Marner and Hyman were pretty underwhelming, but Tavares outplayed his counterpart.

Also, I think you're wrong about PP goals. Tavares PKed for less than a minute and wasn't on the ice for any goals according to Corsica

I actually do think Tavares did a good job, but when you look at it as a whole the line didn't outproduce the other line, both were held in check for the most part. Tavares wasn't out for a goal for against Bergeron after Game 1.

And I meant when Bergeron was PKing and Tavares was on the PP.

oh, yeah my bad. I read it too quickly.

I agree Tavares wasn't amazing, but holding Bergeron in check is better than anything Gaudreau did

 

[Langdon Alger]

At least Tavares didn’t blame the refs for his poor play.

Bergeron's overall stats would even have 1 less goal that he scored since his empty net goal was scored with 0.01 seconds left, when it wasn't even needed at the time.

Son, they don't ask how, they ask how many.

Lopsided result.
