Biggest No Shows for teams eliminated

[Monsieur Miz]

Do you watch the Habs???????????? Other than the first line all forwards were garbage offensively all year.
Were they going to change in the playoffs.

I literally have a picture of Andrei Kostitsyn as an avatar, what do you think. We could've gotten a Fernando Pisani run out of someone. There's plenty of example of secondary players stepping up big time during playoffs.

Kopitar and Doughty as always. Both are reliably out of gas by Game 4 of these series and this year was no exception. Byfield after the first 2 games was not good at all.

And the Kings entire 4th line and 3rd pair were literally no-shows, through no fault of their own.

Feels like that's on the coach. Lets play a suffocating style of hockey but we won't use our 4th line so our older 1C and 1D inevitably get tired from overplaying them.

Didn’t get to watch Canes/Devils but Devils PP disappeared.

 

[Bouboumaster]

Matheson was absolute garbage game 1 and 2

Laine was playing hurt, so it's hard to evaluate how he would have truly done, but he was baaaaad while he was with the team

Savard was clearly done

Those would be the worst IMO


Anyone saying Anderson and Gallagher have to stop sniffing gas, it's not good for you

I haven't watched all of the games for every series that's over, but of the ones I did I thought Hedman and Slafkovsky looked pretty bad. Who do you think had a bad showing this year?

slafkovsky was fine...our defense were no shows

 

[I Hate Philadelphia]

Ivan Demidov, who just weeks ago we were told was the second coming of Mario Lemieux, Wayne Gretzky and Guy Lafleur combined, hit the scoresheet in one out of 5 games (2 assists) and played horrific defense.

Guys who play that style always show up when the playoffs come around. The games get nasty and they step up to prove their worth. I can keep referencing the Isles but the 4th line they had during those 2 conference finals runs were part of the reason why they made it that far. Tampa’s Gourde/Coleman/Goodrow line was just the right mix of nasty and goal scoring.

Kuch was bad...credit FL

they have us figured out.

 

[Mitch nylander]

As a neutral - I didn't find Matheson that bad, his stats don't even show much, only a -1.

Thought Caufield and Demidov we're quiet and quite bad defensively. Both -6 and -5 respectively.

From NJ - I expected more from Jesper Bratt.
From Tampa - I expected more from Kucherov

 

[Fatass]

Heischer was fantastic. The rest of the Drvils? Not so much.

 

[Master P]

Kucherov. So disappointing.

I'd go with Point. Kuch had his moments.

Jack Hughes, didn't do a damn thing all series.

Joke aside he really didn't. He played 251 games out of 328 in the last 4 regular seasons, and zero games in these playoffs. $8M is nothing for a player of his calibre. But only when he actually plays.
