You sure? Pretty obvious to everyone you went out of your way to actively use an 8-game sample from Jagr to try to show "Jagr doesn't stand out like Foppa in terms of tilting the ice does he?" (your words, again, you never even came close to showing this). If 8 game samples aren't your thing what in the world possessed you to make a game by game breakdown of the 8 times Jagr played in game seven.
No that's not how it went down I just broke down, without judgment Jagr's 8 game sample that the other guy brought up and frankly it didn't shed any light as everyone small game 7 sample is different and simply looking at counting stats doesn't tell us what to except just what happened in those specific cirmstances.
Even to look back at players game 7's we would need more information than we have available in a box score.
but just to humour you I'll break down foppas game 7s
0 points in a 4-0 loss in the 98 playoffs against Edmonton.
For the record Foppa was 6-6-5-11 going into game 7 and Sakic was 5-2-3-5 but both got shutout by Curtis Joseph.
The following season Foppa goes donut against Belfour and Dallas in a 4-1 loss (and is -2 on the night), Sakic scores a goal at 13:58 of the 3rd period but Foppa had the better series (at a glance).
We would have to go back and watch all the games.
Forsberg led the playoffs in scoring that year and ironically Jagr had that 2 assist (+3) against NJ in the first round that year but for both players going into their respective game 7s the logical thing to use would be "how did they do in the previous 6 games?"
Forsberg was 6-2-5-7 (+2) while Jagr had played in 2 games and had a line of 2-2-1-3 (+/- of zero)and they had won 1 game and lost one, obviously Foppa was a t 3-3 in the win/loss column as well.
Brodeur also shit the bed that post season while Belfour was playing at an elite level, the Stars would go on to win the SC so it's a real apples and oranges comparison right?
99-00 Foppa scores the avs 1st goal early in the 3rd period in a 3-2 loss to the stars with Beflour being a stud in net once again and Foppa ends up +1 in the game.
In the 01 playoffs Forsberg plays in his 4th game 7s in the playoffs and plays in only 11 of the Avs 22 post season games in a SC win.
In the second round game 7 Foppa has the primary assist in the then 2-1 game and the avs end up winning 5-1 and shorten the bench.
Felix Potvin is the LA goalie and up until that game he has a decent save% and finishes with a .918 save% for the series.
In the 02 playoffs he sits out the season with an injury and comes back to lead the NHL in scoring even though the Avs go down 4-3 in the conference finals to the eventual SC winners.
first round foppa in game 7 against LA he has the primary assist on the first and GWG in a 4-0 win and plays only 15:01 (maybe to save him for the enxt round, not sure of the details) but the Avs have a 3-0 led after the first period.
Second round in game 7 he has the only goal in a 1-0 win over the Sharks and is still playing limited MPG.
in the 3rd round he is still the best offensive player for colorado, despite still playing less MPG than normal and the Red Wings who go on to win the SC blow them out 7-0.
Foppa plays 17:12 that game and isn't on the ice for any goals against.
Now this isn't the complete record, we would have to watch all the games between Jagr and Foppa in game 7s but nothing here really changes my mind that I would take Foppa over Jagr for any game 7.
Also not sure what hot and cold streaks have to do anything. I think we all understand that game 7s do not take place on consecutive days (rarely in the same playoffs, even) and I think we would all agree that hot / cold streaks generally do not last multiple years.
Do you want to try again? Up to you I guess
Hot and cold streaks don't predict anything and neither does game 7 scoring as what actually happens takes place under very specific circumstances against different opponent and conditions.
Larger samples help even this out somewhat but opponents in the playoffs do matter right?
