[JFresh] Out of curiosity I tallied up players’ cumulative % bump provided from goals and first assists since the second round started:
On MoneyPuck, there's a "Chance to Win" % based on the score. The goal that makes it 2-1 boosts that number more than a 6-1 goal.

Thought this was interesting. Statistics doesn’t show everything, sure, but this kinda seems like further proof of Playoff WIlly™ still being a thing
Willy passes the eye test and it shows in stats. He’s got the playoff dog in him. Resign at all cost.
I’m a big Nylanderthal and I’m not saying he’s not a playoff performer, but does anyone else find it strange that Nylander (11GP – 4G – 6A – 10P – 2 blocks – 3 hits) is a “playoff performer who steps up when it counts”, and Marner (11GP – 3G – 11A – 14P – 10 blocks – 18 hits) is “a selfish embarrassment who disappears in the big games”? Cap hit aside, I think they’re a lot closer than people want to admit.
