WordsOfWisdom Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 Is Auston Matthews a playoff performer or not? Here is the data using CLUTCH: Matthews was evaluated based on goals, assists, points, faceoff winning %, and his Corsi For %. Thus, he was evaluated on every key facet of the game. As we can see from the data above (CLUTCH figures below 1.000 in almost every category), Matthews has yet to prove that he's a playoff performer. His offensive production drops significantly in the playoffs most years. The last performance tier/level for Matthews to obtain now is that of a superstar in the playoffs. The regular season numbers are fantastic, but he'll never be in the same conversation as other NHL legends until he can get it done in the playoffs.

radoran Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Zero playoff round wins. Individual performance doesn't matter. If your team doesn't win, you lost. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other news, Chuck Fletcher isn't a very good GM. I don't think either of these are much of a secret. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your team doesn't win, you lost. Well you can't win if your players don't perform, so the performance of all 20 individuals on that roster matters a great deal!
