Bob stole multiple series. Easy to "elevate in the playoffs" when your goalie steals half the games. Tell me, who should I put money on to elevate in the playoffs this year? Because if playoff elevation isn't predictable, then it is a fake trait.

the phrase "playoff hockey". I rest my case.
Reviving my case, Sam Bennett as a fact played hard in the playoffs, expected to be put on the 2nd line the following season, didn't get it - that's why he demanded a trade.
That's just the NHL, they're not playing with 110% intensity during the regular season. Lindholm's effort in CGY was sketchy, Kadri's been sketchy (before Zary/Pospisil he'd basically play hard only vs TO and Colorado)
