Which player faces the most pressure to come through in the Stanley Cup Playoffs this year? The DFO Roundtable debates:
The playoffs are underway and we’ve spent plenty of time teeing up the narratives for each team, including which are under the most pressure to win.Which PLAYER do you believe is under the most pressure to deliver in the 2022-23 playoffs?I’ll be generous and leave the low-hanging Toronto fruit to one of you. I’m looking out West atof the Vegas Golden Knights. Pressure, in his first trip to the playoffs ever? Well, we know the Golden Knights are the most ruthless franchise in hockey.
The Avalanche made a big gamble deciding to go with Georgiev instead of either keeping Darcy Kuemper or finding someone else on the open market. Will it pay off? The Avs hope so.. It almost feels like he gets a pass for some unknown reason. He’s nearly 26, he’s not “young” anymore, and was the third-highest paid player in the league this season by cap hit. His apparent hand injury helps explain a drop in his goal scoring this season, but is only part of the explanation.
