This is true, no need to catastrophize. But also, to be fair, its not just game 2. Florida outplayed Boston in game 1 too, they just weren't able to turn it into a win because puck luck didn't favor them and Lyon made a big mistake in a critical moment. And now the series goes to Florida. Bruins remain the favorite, but they certainly have legit reasons to be concerned.
Clearly the Bruins just can't handle the elite adversity/60 that the Panthers had this year
Stats alone would prove this to be false.
He is changing this series from retirement. A star retiree if I ever saw one.
its just getting started
Starting what? A split I should panic? Doesnt a split mean i have at least 50 percent chance of winning?
Other way around. His playoff stats were a big drop off from his regular season numbers. More so than for other great scorers.
A pretty random comparison but Stevie was a Selke trophy winning two way beast who won three cups and a Conn Smythe.
Yzerman was never an elite playoff performer but he averaged around a PPG until the last few seasons where he hung around too long. He also played a two way game under Bowman where more was requested than just scoring. The Wings didn't win anything early in his career when his playoff numbers were better in terms of pure scoring.
Yeah, I don't get it. Tkachuk is routinely mentioned, along with players like Thornton and Dionne, as the worst playoff performers among great players. Yzerman is never in that conversation for a reason beyond just popularity.
It’s just getting started..... as in, I was agreeing with your post
