You are right. My God, I hope/pray you are right. I would LOVE to eat my words.

:)

If Canada wins against Finland and Sweden beats the US (Likely as the US can rest players because they're already guaranteed to make the finals, they have no incentive to win the game) - Marner's 'irrelevant' OT winner is the only reason Canada is going to the finals.

This is what Leaf fans have to deal with every single game. The guy has a decent game but makes one bad pass and boom, there's an entire new thread about it. FFS this hurts my brain.

...the OT winner isn't irrelevent...it's simply the only time Marner has done ANYTHING this Tournament...keep up, eh... :biglaugh:

Okay. You can say that about 90% the team can't you?

MacKinnon's only point this tournament is a tap in on the PP from Crosby. Not a single player on Canada has more than 1 point 5v5, the majority 0.

LOL. I am a LEAF fan, Smif.

Anyway, I'll ask again...

Why does Mitch "Puck Over Glass" Marner do these things in BIG GAMES?

Please help me understand.

You're just ranting. You need to go for a walk and forgive people for their mistakes.
All of that is true.

Anyway, if Canada wins on Monday and Thursday, NONE of this will matter. I hope Marner scores the game winning goal in BOTH games.

Good night, smif. :)

...MacKinnon pushes back defenses and creates lanes for other players...Marner skates around non-threateningly and everyone backs off and lets him skate 30 KM to nowhere......

When are those lanes gonna lead to anything?

I'd rather he put up points than create imaginary lanes. I'm sure he would too.

Cooper is Marners biggest fan. Did you hear him speak about Marner after game 1? He loooves Marner, he can't praise him enough. But he's no Kucherov.

This is a put up or shut up league, there is no he pushes back defenses nonsense. He didn't score tn, he's not exempt from blame.

yea Marner is not a big game player. one lucky shot in one OT against doesn't change that.

not a good sign that he can’t seem to find any space to make something happen until it’s 3 v 3. Really thought this year would be different with Berube. I guess we’ll find out in April

...that's on Cooper...MacK needs a speedy passer and a netfront finisher on his line...McJesus needs FINISHERS, he does the leg work...Sid should honestly be centering the 3rd line, Bennett the 4th...Cooper being outcoached by his own luv for past glories...
 
If I'm Treliving, I don't offer a new contract to Marner until after the playoffs and see if Marner finally figures out playoff hockey.
 
Marner is a cabbage patch doll. If he had half the compete level that Matthews does, who dragged this American effort tonight, , who is a true big game warrior, the leafs would have multiple cups by now.

What in the actual crap are you on about? Matthews was barely noticeable tonight. Marner has the same NHL PO production as Matthews in their careers.

I think you're missing the bigger point here. You are right, his production is the same. They are both ASS. God, I wonder what kind of horrible person I was in a past life to deserve the endless torture of being a Leafs fan in this one. :laugh: :help:
