Nope some will just make an excuse to justify unjustifiable actions once again just my opinion cause if you can look at marners comment knowing it’s stupid and still try to make it appear as it was the right action there’s a problem there for sure and it’s people like that that continue to enable the behaviour that marner displays
GDT: Leafs vs Flames
- Thread starter HockeyVirus
- Start date
If Marner said Matthews is off, they would have criticized him, guaranf***ingteed. This place is beyond predictable. I’m just missing the hate, that’s my bias. I mean, I just posted yesterday he stunk Saturday, so…
Marner couldn't care about any of that. He just wants to end his career knowing he took teams for more than he should have
It didn't take Berube long to see that Laughton is not a good 3C, in fact he's been borderline useless. But that was a helluva bad deal for a 4C.
you going or Catholic Jamesons or Protestant Bushmills?Drummer called in sick today(hungover) jamming cancelled. Looks like I can make some drinks with some good ol' Irish Whiskey and watch tonights game, good or bad GDT or PGT will be entertaining!
Treliving a gm everyone said was bad is in fact bad. Shocked I say
I just realized it’s another Prime game so I won’t be watching. I’ll follow along on here as best as I can but with no live threads it’s pretty useless too. lol.
just watching overdrive they were showing a clip when the Sens took the lead on the powerplay Ridley Greig gave Matthews a chicken wing when he skated by, and he did nothing lol
Personal accountability usually goes a lot further than the deflection. Marner has been a far superior player to someone like Rielly, but Rielly usually takes personal accountability and promises to be better in a humble and relatable way. He doesn’t follow up, but historically he’s had a lot more good will for doing a lot less on the ice than Ol’ Mitchy.
Knies-Matthews-Domi
Holmberg-Tavares-Nylander
McMann-Laughton-Marner
Don’t acquire the dude and stick him on 4th line.. made the move now make it work in the top 9. Try him with Marner.

Auston Matthews projects too much weakness. Anyone and everyone feels empowered to be a tough guy around him with no consequences. I’ve said it since his rookie days and since he was targeted and injured by Jacob Trouba in one of those early years. You need to go nuclear on someone and establish yourself a la prison rules. Never happened and people just walk all over this guy.
“Doesn’t follow up” indeed, Mo is rapidly declining, has been for years……
He’s 50/50 in my opinion, has done equal amounts of both good and bad, that being said your GM has to win more deals than he loses, and that definitely hasn’t happened yet……..
we are still in a prime position to win the division
we got 2 games against florida and another game against tampa and we are only like 4 points back with like 2 games in hand
even in this current position we are in including the skid, this is still the easiest first place has been for us to grab. We don't have to play .800 hockey to win the divison, we just need to play a little bit better than our current record and win the head to head matchups
team doesn't inspire confidence as of now though. Need to turn this around asap or we will be sitting in a wild card spot
he is a run of the mill gm imo, nothing special about him
we didn't need average gm'ing right now (could've used that in 2018-19), we needed a good gm to navigate this situation to either retool/rebuild the team last year dealing a combo of matthews, marner or nylander, or a guy who was able to add ontop of what we have already to try and get more out of this roster.
domi + kampf should've been a 55-60 point 2LW
jarnkrok with assets should've been turned into some type of good 3C
we should have a better dman than OEL
robertson should be a better and more reliable 3RW who can score.
In fairness, a lot of people were pointing out that they were getting some lucky breaks and were not playing all that well during that 5 game stretch.
All 3 teams were on hot streaks, and now all 3 have cooled off.
I still have very little "beleaf" the Leafs will win the division. But I still cling to hope somehow they figure it out
Difference with Rielly it's ability/skill more than will. With Marner, it's the will he's missing, not the skill.
Disagree. Greed and ego are not the same thing.
Of course he’ll want max pay but don’t undersell the self serving glory factor.
When did Mitch tell you this? Because you must know him personally to know this.
Just because someone wants to get paid what they feel they are worth, doesn't mean it's their only motivation.
