Post-Game Talk: Leafs beat Tampa + Refs 5-3

Ive explained this numerous times. He and Matthews should easily be 120+ point players, not 100. I also showed how Matthews paced 120+ without Marner last year. 100 point seasons is not impressive for two 11+ million dollar players on a line, while others are scoring 140+. Panarin put up 120 while his next best linemate had 77.
Im of the opinion that its crazy that Marners office literally is 50' from the net. Its where he seems to want to be. Is this not unusual?
At the beginning of the year, he looked like he was gonna play more physical and go to the net more but hes back to perimeter Marner.
Nylander too, but at least we are seeing more dedication to backchecking and also Nylander has played a significant chunk of mins without Matthews or Tavares.
Well if you are correct, we should be in for a great season, Domi in for a huge improvement.
People call Tavares washed up, but hes actually moving faster than Marner. If Tavares looks slow and washed up, than you need to be very worried about how Marners skating will age over an 8 year contract. Marners an average skater across the board, while Tavares actually is in the 70s and 80s this year in 18-20 and 20-22 mph bursts.

Hopefully he will be playing with Mathews and racking up those give me assists
No, I’m saying if you are correct in that Mathews plays better with Domi. The 2 of them are going to light it up. That is if they play together.
Why should a city that without the NHL would fold, have to beat the refs? It will cost you come playoffs.

Assists are still worth what they have always been…..1/2 of a goal, that’s why they allow 2 per goal. The math doesn’t lie
literally the same argument thats been said about playoff Marner for years. He is too far from the net.
Thoughts after Toronto's Game 3 loss: Go to the net, Mitch
Thoughts after Toronto's Game 3 loss: Go to the net, Mitch
After Toronto's Game 3 loss at home to Boston, Justin Bourne shares his takeaways from the game, including how to get Mitch Marner going, why TJ Brodie should draw into the lineup, and more.
Snapshots of both his assists are attached. His second assist literally hit Tavares in the chest and Tavares scored after.
Im just curious if this is what posters think is what makes him good, that hes great at creating offense from 50 feet? Like I said, I didnt get past two highlights from the Edmonton game and Mcdavid created two slot shots from probably 10 ' from the net... one was a tap in goal. Havent seen any tap ins created by Marner. Plays from around the net are few and far between too.
Im just blown away how he seems to be on the blueline more than leaf defenders in the offensive zone.

no I think he put the puck toward the net and it resulted in a goal. I'm truly sorry you had to witness it
yes it is the same argument you make after every multi-point game, with reference to this same article

in this still every forward is within a couple feet of each other. why is every forward that far from the net? what are they even thinking? you can't score from there, or even make plays that result in goals
You keep referencing Matthews pacing 120 points without Marner last year. Marner also paced 137 points (and 64 goals) with Matthews out of the lineup this year. Marner must have one hell of a shot to pace 64 goals from "playing 50 feet from the net".
Kudos to those replying to the nonsense.

I'm sure there was a playoff game vs the Steelers in Foxborough in the snow where the Pats benefitted from one of those "suspect" calls. it's been so long now I could be misremembering.
