Does Past Playoff Performance Really Matter?



A look into individual Jets player performances both for recent and career wise, plus a look at the research into how much that matters.

As always, send me your thoughts and questions!

    I’m not well versed in this stuff, and a lot of it goes over my head. But this seems to me kind of a stupid way to assess playoff performance to begin with don’t you think? It’s pretty 1 dimensional.

    Are there stats available to see who turned over the most pucks? Who took the most hits? Who successfully transitioned into the O-zone the most? etc.,

    I think it’s fair to say the jets got out pre-scouted and outcoached. They got physically handled and their options were covered wherever they would normally move it to relieve that pressure.

    Maybe if playoff performance is a skill it’s the ability to adapt, a coach that can direct that, and a system that is flexible enough that players can still understand what is going on. But again I’m the absolute peak casual couch hockey person what do I know?
