I honestly don’t know how to feel about this or if you just put the best team forward based on usual performance and not worry about clutch time. What made me wonder about this was watching the highlights from Flames and Stars game 7 and seeing Matthew Tkachuk go forehand roof on the glove side top right corner with barely any space and without taking much time to set up his shot.
Then Gaudreau in overtime went forehand roof top left blocker side from a sharp angle.
I’ve seen a guy like Nylander or
Marner take these shots quite a few times in the playoffs and in my head I just know I’d be hearing “just missed the net” “just over the net” etc. Now Tkachuk and Gaudrea aren’t really that much better at shooting the puck than Nylander and Marner…but do you think in that exact same spot for the Leafs in a game 7 on the exact same play a Nylander pots that one or “just goes wide?” Because to me the answer is a clear no.
