Does Mitch seem different since coming back from the 4 Nations?

Definitely more confident and re-assured.

I think winning helps, but more importantly being around the likes of Crosby, McDavid and seeing how they play in pressure situations helps too.

Another thing is that I think some people's negative perspectives of Marner might of changed, so the positive looks brighter
 
So, the $13M dollar man needs Marner - the guy you want to get rid of, to score, sounds like a fool proof plan. Nothing is ever Matthews fault, only Marner is too blame.

Marner gets too many assists - He needs to score more goals!
Marner scores too many goals - Why isn't he setting up Matthews?
- Antropovsky

His post is always nonsense, completely ignores Marner put it in a tee for Matthews twice last night and Matthews ripped it off the post twice. It’s just been that type of season for Matthews. I’d love to see them split up. Just end the narrative.

He looks like the exact same greedy snotty thinks-he's-better-than-everyone-else hockey player to me.

The best thing ML$E could do is let this guy walk. He's a proven playoffs no show loser. That's on top of having the worst attitude of anyone on the team.

Toxic Marner is toxic.

Anyone who says otherwise hasn't been paying attention. The media sound bites and undermining of players like Crosby are just glimpses the public are able to see. O'Rielly and Schenn both saw enough behind the scenes they refused to re-sign.

They'd rather be members of a hockey team than a country club.

As a leader it's up to Marner to set the right tone in the dressing room. This he clearly has not accomplished. A failure to accept personal responsibility while at the same time demanding obnoxious amounts of money to play a game that he doesn't take seriously for a living.

Marner said it best himself "It's just hockey" right Mitch.

O’Reilly saw enough of Marner?

Didn’t O’Reilly and Schenn both say the fans unfairly blame Marner for losses?

Didn’t O’Reilly also ask his GM to go trade for Marner after last years Boston series as well?

As normal just really wrong lol
 
He's the exact same player he's been all year, but if the 4 Nations gives people a reason to view him as the incredible hockey player he is, I'm fine with it.

You have to believe the impact and felling of winning has had a positive influence on him.

Once you get the taste of winning in sports you want more of that feeling.

I don't think it dramatically changes a person's skill nor style, but rather only impacts their potential compete level in a desire to repeat that winning feeling.
 
He does so much right on the ice. If he was 6'0, 190 lbs and used his weight more he'd be adored by Leafs nation. But he's not, so we have to accept his magic when he is on, and his foibles when he's not. He does look a bit more confident out there, the antithesis of Matthews, who looks sad for the lack of a better word.
