Marner.
Now that's out of the way, who else?

Actually the Stars are good playoff performers. Looking like Western Conference Finals at minimum for them.

Please see thread title again.
For the Preds, I gotta go with Josi unfortunately. He's not terrible but the style change of playoffs and ice getting smaller definitely limits a chunk of his effectiveness.

I'm surprised you consider McLeod a star, but his playoff performance looks pretty much like his regular-season performance.

He was almost as bad as Wayne Gretzky and Mark Messier in the playoffs

Matthews is the disappearing man in the playoffs. Not a guy cut out for playoff hockey

Todd McLellan is an inside agent

I am genuinely curious about this one thing:
Does any star or noteworthy player in NHL history have a Game Seven track record worse than his or as bad?
Mitch Marner Stats In Career Game 7's | StatMuse
Mitchell Marner has 2 assists and a plus-minus of -5 in 5 games in the playoffs in his career.
Five games played: zero goals, two assists, minus five rating. All losses for his team.
This RNH is disappointing you these playoffs?
This versatile forward who's been all over the lineup doing everything from PK to PP to centering his own line to 1LW and is currently 14th in scoring?
Are you a Korean parent?

Not true but whatever.
You’re satisfied with Matthews playoff performances year over year ? Yikes

He's been great for years. I am not putting stock into his stats when he was on his ELC. Leafs best player when he was healthy this year, best player last year with some massive goals to win against Tampa, solid.
But production aside, claiming he is not built for the playoffs is my main issue. Mostly because people don't watch him. After the first few games before he got concussed everyone was praising how gritty he was playing including the Bruins coach who said
“I’ve been impressed by how tenacious he’s been on pucks and how relentless he’s been on the forecheck… He’s the most dangerous man on the ice because he’s earned it”

Any comment on Draisaitl? We could all use a laugh.

What about him? His playoff production speaks for itself, hard to call him a non playoff performer. Doesn't mean I respect how he plays the game though.

We're you not complaining just earlier today about how he is a negative in the playoffs despite the production?
