One of twenty, disappointing for sure
So many times you've made 3 word posts here, "super crazy elite" and so on but now he's one of twenty.
He was our worst forward tonight. Literally killing us routinely, scared and curling away from everything. He wears this one.
Indeed, that's the way it looked. Not sure what else to say.
Marner has disappointed no doubt but it seems strange that he is the focus and not Matthews.
This seems to be one of your favorite tricks but this deflecting isn't going fly with anyone today. Probably best if you just kept quiet for a while.
After last night, not even he is untouchable. He's the guy on this team, and time after time he disappears when we need him most. I don't know if we get rid of both Matthews and Marner, but that's the only real way this team moves forward. Both might be necessary to cleanse the rot, Philly style with Richards and Carter.
If anyone's untouchable, I'd say it's Knies and Holl. They probably haven't been around long enough to catch the virus.
Are you even watching the playoff games? Mathews and Marner are being out played by Bennet and Verhaeghe. The regular season means squat now. WTF??
All the cheering about how awesome Marner is during the regular season was so annoying. Yes he played great but as I kept saying, if the team doesn't have playoff success it means nothing. I wonder if that's beginning to sink in for the biggest cheer leaders and if they feel a bit silly now for all the times they stated he's the "best winger in the league", and when anyone dared to mention guys like Pasta, Kuch, Ranta etc. the responded with "1st team all-star", as if nothing else matters and the fact that this is a regular season award is irrelevant. Or the "smartest player that ever played" crap, as if one post game quote from an opposing coach was gospel. Or all those posts about how high Marner already is an all-time Leafs scoring lists, which mostly just goes to show how badly this franchise has sucked for decades now. Or all the posts saying he's "worth every penny", yikes have those ever aged badly.
What a depressing morning this is! Where was that post that suggested starting a Marner depreciation thread, seems appropriate because Marner stock is dropping like a stone and the only question is, how low will it go?
And no of course it's not all on Marner, but considering how badly he choked in the biggest game of the year, he's the posted boy for this failure of a team. If this group can somehow get it together and win the next 3 games, then their stock prices will go up again but not sure if anyone thinks that's going to happen.
