In the key semi final, while down within under 10 to go, Marchand threw Saros off clearly by crashing the net and Theodore scored 5 seconds later to tie the game.
Exactly what he was brought in to do exactly that, if even just once, to make a difference and he did it in a big moment.
Bennett tried to do the same in the first period that game and got a penalty.
Picking those guys and Wilson didn’t throw anything else off and any sort of skilled replacement wouldn’t have provided anything missing. Hagel and Reinhart and even guys like Suzuki and Horvat were proof of that.
