Митч Марнер демонстрирует выдающуюся результативность в первом плей-офф за «Вегас Голден Найтс»
После непростого периода в «Торонто Мейпл Лифс», когда Марнер подвергался жесткой критике за неудачи в решающих стадиях плей-офф, переход в «Вегас Голден Найтс» принес игроку новый импульс. Несмотря на высокие показатели в регулярном чемпионате, его результативность в матчах на вылет вызывала сомнения у болельщиков и экспертов.В первых девяти играх плей-офф за «Вегас» 29-летний нападающий демонстрирует выдающуюся игру. В матче против «Анахайм Дакс», завершившемся победой «Голден Найтс» со счетом 6:2, Марнер оформил свой первый в карьере хет-трик в матчах плей-офф. Стоит отметить, что за все 70 матчей плей-офф в составе «Торонто» у него было всего две игры с несколькими заброшенными шайбами, тогда как в составе «Вегаса» он уже дважды достигал такого результата за девять игр.Более того, количество голов, забитых Марнером в одном плей-офф, сравнялось с его прежним рекордом, который составлял три шайбы за весь постсезон. Теперь перед игроком стоит задача добиться командного успеха. В «Торонто» его карьера была омрачена тем, что команда не могла пройти дальше второго раунда. На данный момент «Вегас» ведет в серии со счетом 2:1 против «Анахайма», и у клуба есть возможность довести Марнера до финала конференции. Учитывая вылет «Эдмонтон Ойлерз» из конференции, у «Голден Найтс» есть шансы вернуться в финал Кубка Стэнли впервые со времен их чемпионского сезона три года назад.
Las Vegas winger Mitch Marner sheds Toronto playoff stink with stellar postseason performance
Things didn't exactly end well in Toronto for superstar winger Mitch Marner.Few things ever "end well" between a franchise and its high-priced, underperforming talent, but the final chapters in the Marner-Maple Leafs saga were especially vitriolic.You can probably chalk most of that up to the Toronto media, which is about as toxic as it gets when it comes to North American sports, but Marner wasn't exactly free of blame.His regular-season point totals were some of the best in the league, but the playoff performances in critical moments were the subject of much scrutiny, so much so that most hockey fans thought all Marner needed was a change of scenery to unlock his postseason potential.CANUCKS OFFLOAD DISGRUNTLED STAR J.T. MILLER IN TRADE WITH RANGERS AMID RIFT WITH TEAMMATESo far, only nine games into his first postseason south of the Canadian border, Marner is thriving, with his "arrival" coming Friday night in the Las Vegas Golden Knights' 6-2 beatdown against the Anaheim Ducks.That's Marner's first career playoff hat trick, but it gets even crazier than that.The 29-year-old had previously played in 70 career playoff games as a member of the Toronto Maple Leafs, and recorded only two multi-goal games in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.He has two already in nine playoff games with the Golden Knights.Marner's high-water mark for goals in an entire postseason before landing in Sin City was three goals, which he obviously matched in Friday's game alone.Any way you slice it, Marner is exorcising an entire career's worth of playoff demons in just one year.GOLDEN KNIGHTS MAKE MAJOR COACHING SHAKEUP AS STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS NEARThe big question will be whether he can experience more team success in the postseason with his new club, considering the Golden Knights are in a familiar spot to Marner.His time in Toronto was notoriously marred by the simple fact that the Leafs were unable to make it past the second round of the playoffs.With a 2-1 series lead over the Ducks, Vegas is just a couple of wins away from showing its latest addition a side of the postseason he's never seen before: the Conference Finals.The sky could be the limit for Marner and this Golden Knights team.With the big bad bully on the Western Conference block, the Edmonton Oilers, getting sent home early from the big dance, coupled with Marner's stellar play, Vegas could find its way back to the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time since winning it all three seasons ago.ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!It's been a perfect marriage so far between Marner and the Golden Knights, and it doesn't hurt that the Toronto Maple Leafs were so putrid in their first season without the man they ran out of town that they are now in position to draft yet another future star (Gavin McKenna) to foist lofty expectations onto.Godspeed, Gavin.If things get bad enough for you, you can always move on to greener pastures and resurrect your career.If it worked for Marner, it can work for you, too.
