Here is a tweet from Blue Line Station writer John Williams:
The stat is not arguable. Hayes and Miller have struggled to score in the playoffs thus far in their respective careers. It’s black and white, and it causes many concern. However, the extent to which some worry over postseason performances is even more concerning.
No one would make the argument that three combined goals in 74 games got the job done. However, when considering the future of players on the Rangers, relying on postseason statistics to tell the story will leave you making poor decisions.
The Pavel Datsyuk Story
Neither Hayes nor Miller owns the talent that Pavel Datsyuk possessed in his prime.
