Does Marner get Boo’d?

[Mess]

Wonder if he hears any 'boo's' playing for Canada during the 4 Nations?

Crosby, MacKinnon, McDavid among 1st 6 Canada players for 2025 4 Nations Face-Off ​

Forwards to be joined by Makar, Marchand, Point; tournament to be held Feb. 12-20

July 23, 2024

When the first six players were announced for the Canadian roster for the 2025 4 Nations Face-Off by the NHL and NHLPA on June 28, the wow factor was front and center.

Forwards Connor McDavid (three) of the Edmonton Oilers, Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburgh Penguins (two) and Nathan MacKinnon of the Colorado Avalanche (one) have combined to win the Hart Trophy as NHL most valuable player six times. Defenseman Cale Makar won the Calder Trophy as rookie of the year in 2019-20, the Norris Trophy as top defenseman in 2021-22 and Conn Smythe Trophy as Stanley Cup Playoff MVP that same season. Forward Brayden Point has 185 points (97 goals, 88 assists) in 163 games the past two seasons. And forward Brad Marchand, captain of the Boston Bruins, has 401 goals and is a plus-292 for his career.

They’ve combined to win the Stanley Cup eight times.

Team is being named starting with real difference makers and proven winners, and then they will move on to the filler players.

Is there a point to this or just your typical random thought?

Marner does not deserve the biggest part of the blame. That is media driven narrative and u are drinking the kool aid. Dubas deserves the blame, he built the team and Treliving is trying to repair it. The defensive core was the main issue the team lost, paired with lack of scoring. Matthews deserves the blame if anyone, he makes alot of money but plays scared, soft in the playoffs yet he is 6-3 225lbs.

Nothing to do with the media. Anyone can see that our stars are to blame. Lack of offence? Who on earth do you think is paid to get those goals?

AM is right behind Marner with share of blame. Both of them along with Tavares have been horrible. All just overpaid come playoff time, just happens that Marner is the most.

In Boston he will.

Playoffs dont matter in baseball? News to hundreds of millions of baseball fans. I agree that his games 5 through 7 have been less than Magic Mitch level, his games 1 through 4 are fine, he's at a PPG over the last 3 playoffs, good but not Magic Mitch good.

Yes he hasn’t been good enough and giving one more chance is dangerously for the organization. If it doesn’t work and he walks for nothing, then they’ve wasted any chance of opening a window to win the East.


I haven’t watched a baseball playoff game since 1992….

 

[mikeyz]

Why is it the haters have such a hard time answering simple questions?

If they make it to the cup finals or win? then yes, it will be removed. Did I really have to answer that???

But don't worry. It's never ever going to happen. Even in a contract year.

 

[Arzak]

wow playing stupid again?

The point YOU missed, no one is building a team around Mitch.
As should be clear by fact that they picked the core without even thinking about our playoff beast.

Do you get it now?

edit: let that sink in when the cap is of no consequence they still don't care about Mitch

 

[notDatsyuk]

Dude he is 10th, how anyone can find a negative in that is absurd. To imply that he is not an elite setup man is disingenuous at best.

I explained my point with actual numbers.

He's good, but context should be taken into consideration.

 

[Nineteen67]

Say Marner goes on a tear in this years playoffs, does that fix the playoff boogie man? I though the reason why the angry mob has a hate on for Marner is that he does not get points in games 5, 6, 7? The points Marner scores in the regular seasons, dont matter, the points he gets in games 1 through 4 dont matter, but the points in games 5 through 7 do? Selective framing, no? Honest questions, do the points scored in the regular season help you win a playoff spot? Can you win a series if you dont win a game between games 1 to 4? Do points scored in games 1 through 4 help you win a series?

Yes, it will matter a lot.

The reasons he hasn’t been effective is what’s concerning. It’s not lack of playing time and bad luck. His lack of speed, below average shot, and lack body strength make it easier to defend him.

We’ve been told that practice and training is futile at this stage of his career and doesn’t help (which is absolute poopy cock) so are we down to hoping they draw a soft opponent, like Carolina or NJD?

 

[notDatsyuk]

Magic Mitch good.

this place is the best.

Is that because he disappears in the playoffs?

 

[ULF_55]

Has Nylander really outscored Matthews 17 - 13 in the last 5 years playoffs?

Maybe marner should be on his line?

 

[Arzak]

Low IQ? For you of all people to say that ... WOW... LOL. This type of play is a regular occurrence

yes, he seems like a good person, but when you hear him talk, you can see why his father and agent run over this special kid.

LOL nice highlight, proves he is not mentally challenged. I'm convinced.

 

[Arzak]

Magic Mitch routine? Disappearing act, pulling offer sheets out of the hat, i(de)lusions and much more!

this guy i'm quoting... from the wise words of phil...

 

[notbias]

Considering that he's played almost his entire career with the guy who is third on the all-time list of goals per game (minimum 500 games), tenth is a pretty poor showing.

Our fanbase has been propping up Hyman as some amazing goal scorer and top forward, I am glad we can finally all agree Hyman is super overrated.

McDavid can't win the cup, chokes in the biggest game of his career, exclude him from this list of difference makers and proven winners.

Who is more of a proven winner, Marner or McDavid? Curious to see who has the better record of championships.

 

[Hellcat]

LOL nice highlight, proves he is not mentally challenged. I'm convinced.

I don't need or want good people on the team, I want elite skill and that describes Marner to a tee. I'm not disputing that Marner has that 1980's frat house preppy unlikable douche bag face and that he acts and behaves like an entitled child. He is simply a generational talent, not elite generational like McDavid but for his generation there are very few players that produce at his production level. There is only one guy in his draft class with more points.

 

[ULF_55]

WTF indeed, you should ask mods, I'm curious myself who changed my message. I never mentioned booze or you cutting it down. I kept my message strictly on Marner.

I 100% agree with you. Whoever typed "Maybe cut down the booze?" is re**arded moron who can't handle the little power his admin status gives him.

Wouldn't be a Mod, we don't have that ability, to go behind the triggers.

Do we put an asterisks next to Stamkos and Drasaitl for playing with McDavid and Kucherov?

Color me surprised, Arzak has been such a model citizen.

Which in itself is a laughable stand alone stat, what happens in the playoffs, I mean what does every coach but Keefe do in the playoffs?

Who knows, perhaps a cut and paste, but we should just clean it up ...

Craig Berube's past run-ins with star players raise some concerns in Toronto​

New Leafs bench boss Craig Berube's bluntness has caused issues with star players in the past, which leads to concerns about how the "Core 4" will handle his style.​

"Our best players don't play with any passion, no emotion and no inspiration at all. They don't play inspired hockey. You cannot play in this league without emotion, grit, being inspired. They're getting paid lots of money and they're not doing the job. End of story."​

The fact that it was star players that had issues with Berube may not bode well for Auston Matthews, William Nylander, Mitch Marner and John Tavares in Toronto, given how many times we saw former head coach Sheldon Keefe have to walk back his public comments when he criticized them.

[The Hanging Jowl]

Marner's been a good player for the Leafs and did what every single person reading this would have done: got paid the going rate for a player of his caliber. It would be silly to boo him. He did nothing wrong. Would I keep him? Nope. That money needs to be spent elsewhere. It's no reflection on him at all, it's just what it is.
