Now that the Leafs are done, Matthews wins that award by a country mile.

Late to the party but I realized I never gave my personal opinion for the Bolts. I’m going to go with Brayden Point. Nikita Kucherov is probably a close second. There were players who were far worse, especially Emil Lilleberg, but I’m thinking about it in terms expectations compared to what actually happened. I expected Lilleberg to suck, and that’s exactly what he did. I did not expect Brayden Point to disappear. He normally shows up big in the playoffs.

Joke answer since I’m actually primarily a Utah fan: all of them. Where the hell were they? I didn’t see a single one!

Definitely. But Leafs fans will (generally) produce excuses for him and put the blame on Marner. It's bizarre how much the Leafs fan base protects Matthews. Sure, Marner is terrible when it matters, too. But Matthews is the franchise player. He's the "man". He's got the size that should make him effective in the tougher playoff games.

Marner produces points, but he'll never be looked at as "the guy". He's a complimentary star and his style doesn't really translate to tough playoff games. But he'll take all the heat while Matthews will get another free pass.

Sharks fans are uniquely qualified to indentitify a choker. And tbh the Leafs core wishes they had the "success" the Sharks did, who at least went on multiple deep runs

Sharks were in the Finals once this millennium.

This is going to be wild if Helleybuck wins the MVP.

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.

Are you seriously calling out a player for looking bad during his first 5 NHL games -which happened to be in the play-offs? You need to lessen the caffeine intake or something.

My intention wasn’t even to trash them. But more so show that calling a great player pathetic because they’ve not had the same success in the playoffs that they do during the regular season, is dumb.

I think what they were saying is those Sharks players (save for Pavelski) serially underwhelmed in the play-off’s, but “Sharks underwhelming” is still a round or two past the core 4’s peak to date.
