"When's Patty Marleau gonna come out and hit somebody in a playoff game?" Roenick asked incredulously. "When is he gonna come out and start showing why he was so good in the regular season? Not just scoring goals, but playing physical and being emotional in a playoff round. Look at the way Shane Doan(notes) came out in Game 1 against Detroit. He hit everything that he could possibly get his hands on to show his team how they need to play. When is Patrick Marleau going to do that in a playoff round?"
Patty did that against Chicago last year. He was a man possessed not only with the goals, but with playing physically as well. I was surprised/impressed about the physical play. Unfortunately, only Patty knows when that player is going to come to play. If he consistently played half as hard as he did in that series, he'd be a playoff monster.
Hopefully JR's prodding will bring that Patty to the forefront.
