In all the playoff games I've watched, which is all of them, marner plays a lot and the leafs lose a lot. Especially important games. No one cares about goal percentage. Marner has scored zero percent of goals in elimination games.
Because a random stat tells the whole story. That's exactly how dubas built his teams, by looking at stats. Damn they sure won a whole lot.
Kucherov, Games 5/6/7, since 2019:
If he entertains other offers and then signs with us for 2x12 and no NMC, doesn’t that mean nobody else wanted him at 2x12 even without giving up assets, so how do we suddenly trade him?
Maybe their forth line. As Lundel and Marchand are paid like 10mil combined, which is pretty much our bottom 6 of McMann(1.5), Domi(3.75), Laughton(1.5), Calle(2.1) and Lorentz and Max making 1.4combined.
More than half those points were in the first four games against Ottawa.
....gotta be honest: I have no idea what relevance Nikita Kucherov and Andriy Vasilevskiy's impressive playoff success has to do in a discussion about Marner and his disappearing production as series get deeper & tighter.
The issue is people pretending that Marner at his cap hit ever really helped this team, their blind adulation gets in the way of critical thinking, it's sad that this happens to adults.
Even if those two are as bad as Marner were in the playoffs, they still make less money than him per season.
