Dubas never played in the league so he spoke from complete ignorance but Shanahan should have known better and not hired him to start with or at least stepped in to take the keys away from him before he drove the bus off the cliff.
Can you post the graphic for games 1-4?
You have to win at least one of those games to reach 5, 6, and 7.
I see some people are selectively picking games 5, 6, and 7 because they dislike specific players, but shockingly, it doesn't matter which games you win, you only need to win 4 games.
Their numbers all suck in Games 1-4, and are dismal compared to their non Leaf peers.

Marner is close to 1.1 PPG, not all of them.
Assuming it goes Marner > Matthews > Nylander > Tavares in games 1-4
It is Nylander > Tavares > Matthews > Marner in games 5-7
Your quote was just as illogical, that's why I did it. Nothing he said was wrong. Dubas never played in the league, what does that poster playing in the league have to do with it?Marner is close to 1.1 PPG, not all of them.

I am not claiming that you need to play in the NHL to know anything... quote me if you want to call me out, and then think about if it logically makes sense to (you didn't do this part)
A 1.10 PPG in 4 games works out to about 4.4 points. And it’s a cherry-picked little mini sample within a sample. Which is extremely sad on the face of what a high end, impact forward should be doing to spearhead a championship.
If this is the internal benchmark and the boys think they’re “right there”, I think I’m seeing compelling reasons to get rid of all of them.

...or he doesn't want to play in the places willing to offer thatIF he is Leaf on July 2nd, it means he can't fetch anything of value in a trade.
If his PPG was 1.10, that'd be amazing, 1.10 PPG is top 10 of all active players... what do people expect?
He is 22nd amongst active players with his 0.88 PPG currently, tied with Marchand.
I don't think people have a grasp on how low some player's PPG is in the playoffs.
Marner can perform a lot better, I agree, but he is one of the top performers by PPG in the NHL currently.
Marner is great at gathering empty points, he’s a professional stat padderMarner is a 1.10 PPG in the selective games you picked though.
And that falls to a 0.87 PPG when you factor in all playoff games.
But when you compare him to other stars the context you need to be aware that other guys are scoring some of those points in the second, third and fourth rounds of the playoffs. Marner is stuck on the first level of difficulty.

Do you think Marner was good in the playoffs this year? Last year?Now the games are much harder every round too?
How much harder?
Are we going to start adjusting all of Edmonton's stats for playing LA first round every year?
The Atlantic is usually a tough first round against a good defensive team, are we adjusting the Leafs' stats for this?
This is getting tiresome talking to people who are trying to find ways to diminish the stats of our players.
Marner has a 0.88 PPG which is 23rd amongst active players, and much higher than a lot of stars.
Do you think Marner was good in the playoffs this year? Last year?
Fair enough. I’m not sure I’d keep Matthews over Marner if I had to make a choice. Matthews may not be a leader that can win in the NHL. Marner won a Mem Cup. Matthews is a showcase player.Last year, for portions, overall yes probably, but I'd say closer to "alright".
This year, no.
I think he's been a mix of good and bad like everyone else on the team.
I think over their careers, Matthews is #1, Rielly is #2, and then you can argue Nylander vs Marner, but Nylander has been better recently so you can give him the nod, and then #5 has been Tavares.
I've never claimed Marner has been a great playoff performer.
Marner has 11 goals in 57 playoff games. That's a 15.8 goal pace over an 82 game season. I know a lot of players score less in the playoffs and he's not known as a goal scorer, but it's that stat that is most representative as to how ineffective he is in the post season, not points and assists. Goals will always be worth more than assists.
10.9 million for a 15.8 goal pace. His 82 game goal paces the last four seasons: 31, 31, 40, 30.
Not. Even. Close.
But Marner is? Teams win cups. Change Marner with Matthews and he would have won the same Mem Cup.Matthews may not be a leader that can win in the NHL.
I don’t know if Matthews would have won a memorial cup! Nothing suggest he would have. Nothing.But Marner is? Teams win cups. Change Marner with Matthews and he would have won the same Mem Cup.
Oilers can win even without McJesus, but there chances will drop. A great playoff team should always be able to win without the best player. Its when it is players, the odds drop to much.
