Far from an advanced stat, but the top line was a combined +182 for the regular season.
In the playoffs, they were -16.
These three, along with our top D paring got caved in too often these playoffs.
Lots of talk about who Sutter had on the ice for the Oilers GWG goal in game 4. Most of those guys were a lot better at keeping chances downs in these playoffs than our top line.
Our top players ran roughshod over the league during the regular season and while they still produced some offense during the playoffs, they gave up far too much.
I'm still wondering if a team can win with a top line of Tkachuk/Lindholm/Gaudreau.
