Predict your teams surprise/usung hero for the playoffs?

[Cool Hand Puke]

Colorado - Erik Johnson

 

[qcal1427]

John Carlson as always

 

[Zenos]

Oilers: Darnel Nurse.

He was baaad last post-season, but he’s definitely having a bounce back season. I could see him playing a big role.

 

[flyfysher]

Avs - Parker Kelly.

 

[Karl Eriksson]

Seems like a Perron kinda thread, guys just end up in the right places. So greasy.

 

[1specter]

You obviously were taking a leaf and McMann is right there for the choosing and you take the midget. Classic. I actually think Mcmann is a good choice for this.

Always ready to pounce on Leaf fans, even when OP phrased it as 'YOUR TEAM' and the poster even said 'For the Leafs'. Jeez, rent free.

 

[Jetcetera]

Ehlers steps up

 

[Connor MethDavid]

I have a positive feeling about Nylander and Knies, and worry about Marner and Rielly.

 

[Jerkob Rantanen]

Would absolutely LOVE IT if Alexander "Boom" Nikishin came to Raleigh and immediately had game changing impact.

 

[BonMorrison]

Knies gonna pop off. Marner shedding the playoff choker label would be nice too.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

For the habs, Demidov is an obvious answer. For a less obvious answer, I could see Heineman or Kapanen being that

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Brandon Tanev

 

[BaileyFan]

Alex Laferriere. Will lead the team in postseason scoring with 2-2-4 in 4 games.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Ehlers steps up

He's been meh in the playoffs but why is he an unsung hero?

Devils - Daniel Sprong, he'll either have a good playoffs or get scratched to the press box if he's on the ice for 4 goals against v Carolina in G1.

Heineman or kapanen are the answers. If Demidov plays well he’ll be anything but unsung. We’ll be singing in the streets in people’s faces

Specifically Heineman. I could see some clutch goals he’s got a surprisingly good shot

 

[Jetcetera]

Devils - Daniel Sprong, he'll either have a good playoffs or get scratched to the press box if he's on the ice for 4 goals against v Carolina in G1.

Because he's been meh in the playoffs

 

[That Habs Fan]

Slafkovsky seems built for playoffs.

Heineman is another option.

 

[HansonBro]

Stolarz. The guy is just a gamer. Plays every game like its game 7 of the SCF. Should be rested enough to go on a run

 

[Thechozen1]

Barron and Iafallo will be key contributors in one way or another.

“If you a follow me, Iafallo you”.

 

[rynryn]

I'm gonna go with the obvious answer from Minnesota and say Killa Kirill will come up clutch against Vegas and win his first playoff series!

I don't know if he would count as either a surprise or unsung, but he'll definitely be instrumental if we advance.

I'd go with Zeev Buium. Maybe won't start the playoffs but will be playing as soon as a D goes down and get immediate PP time.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

For the Caps, Andrew Mangiapane. He could be the speedy feisty little guy that forces turnovers and scores big goals.

 

[Niten Ichi Ryu]

Vasili Podkolzin, Darnell Nurse and Calvin Pickard

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Matthews and Marner

 

[ChurchOfMatthews]

Knies and Tavares.

 

[CrosbyStaalsAndNash]

From the Jets.. Morgan Barron or Alex Iafallo
