The guy was a literal no show in the playoffs this year.
Islanders fans must be pissed.

That’s an extremely strange list considering you have players who are actually playing in the CONFERENCE FINALS as we speak meaning that they’ve already done more than 28 other teams.
Why don’t you have guys like Giroux, Dahlin, Larkin who can’t even get their teams to the post season let alone win something

Matthews
Marner
Tavares

They play for respect in the handshake line, not for the win.
Erik Karlsson and Brent Burns are career losers.
The buffalo sabres organization. They used to be one of my favorite teams, now I'd be less surprised if they relocated or folded then made the playoffs.
Dahlin will request out of buffalo in a year or two then go on to have a great career.

He can't play against men and he has those damn wide turns

You can win with any superstar that has an underwhelming playoff track record if the team surrounding them is good enough.
It's not like it's never happened before.. See Stamkos and Selanne

It's a dumb premise.
You can win, or lose, with anyone in the NHL, a single position player simply doesn't have that much impact in the overall picture. Take someone who plays 20:00/game, that's 1/3 of 1/6 of the on-ice team, or 1/18th (5.5%) of the collective effort.
The only argument that might make sense is a goalie that just mentally collapses under the pressure.
In the late 80's people were writing about Jordan being a flashy scorer who didn't have it what it takes to win, and that's the NBA, where a single player has a much larger impact,
When a player underperforms in the playoffs, the easiest and laziest thing to do is label them as "can't win with them."

This feels like it was written by A.I.
You've just listed 5 guys who have struggled to varying degrees in the playoffs, this season. This is the level of your analysis? You just assume that this will be true in perpetuity?
Funny how one of the stories of these playoffs is that Barkov has become a dominant force in the playoffs to a similar degree as he has been in the regular season.
But meanwhile, we're just predicting that every star who struggled over this month and a half period if a write-off for the future?
A little more in-depth analysis would have served this thread well.

Nurse and the Ranger duo could literally win this year...
Last year Panarin didn’t even show up to the playoffs and the team lost in the first round to a team that didn’t even make the playoffs this year.

I'm tempted to bookmark this thread and bump it when half these players win Cups in the next 5-10 years

When your 69 goal scorer being the highest paid player in the league can’t score in the big games to me he is the single biggest reason the leafs haven’t advanced and have only 1 playoff series win since he has been there.
Simply doesn’t have that win at all cost mentality.

The whole team got bodied last year. It's pointless to assess individual performances.
The same thing is happening in this series.

Phil Kessel can't hear you because his Stanley cup rings are blocking his ears.
