Tribute Marner Appreciation Thread

Believe it or not but this place isn’t the arbiter of what’s right or wrong. In most cases it’s not even close to understanding what’s going on.

Great place of study if you are into psychology. The Dunning-Kruger effect is real.

Dunning-Kruger effect | Definition, Examples, & Facts

Dunning-Kruger effect, in psychology, a cognitive bias whereby people with limited knowledge or competence in a given intellectual or social domain greatly overestimate their own knowledge or competence in that domain relative to objective criteria or to the performance of their peers or of...

Goes a long way in explaining why people think Matthews, Marner and Tavares can be traded.

Don’t really blame Keefe for juggling lines to get some of the top guys going in the regular season. But do find it annoying to see Keefe not juggling at all in the playoffs in hope of struggling players finding their ways.
Having said all that, he gambled and he lost. If he won the Cup, we would be saying he is a genius. Kind of like what we did when Nurse won after he played Box 1 in the finals

I don’t mind the juggling during the early parts of the regular season. But heading into the playoffs that last month. The lines should be fully established. Not a constant blender.

I am 100% sure some medias, players even MGT read hockey forums, twitters and other social media.
Quite frankly, if they(players and MGts) need to read hockey forum to know or even get the idea that something is going right or wrong, the team is in trouble

I highly doubt hockey players themselves know hf boards exists. Maybe the players that are hockey nerds do or their families but I’d say a good majority of the players probably don’t read these boards.

I’d think they probably stumble upon Twitter threads, YouTube videos or Reddit sub forms more because those apps are more general and not hockey based.

Marner APPRECIATION he sure has mine he improves the players that’s on his line he may screw up every now and then but don’t we all. If you don’t just tell me how perfect you are and why you’re not out on the ice in his place​

Well, that's a bold statement.

I'd guess that this is probably correct.

Before they are Hockey players, they are little boys who love hockey. And since this forums been around for a long time, pretty sure a lot of them know about this forum.

I knew he wasn't perfect but a Bills fan?

Buffalo fans aren't happy at Bills showing love to a couple Leafs stars | Offside

A couple of the Leafs' two biggest stars in Mitch Marner and Morgan Rielly attended Sunday's Bills game, but Sabres fans didn't love it.

Mitch Marner= Scott Norwood?

 

[ACC1224]

Good interview.

 

[thewave]

He looks really heavy in that interview. I mean for Mitch. Lets see how is speed is impacted.

 

[banks]

Marner is going to have a great season. I'm predicting over 100 points, and he'll continue to rock on the PK unit.

No he doesn’t.

120 if he plays every game.

 

[ACC1224]

No he doesn’t.

They're relentless, never anything positive. He looks solid to me and I'm sure everyone else who can be honest.
They cried he's "too small", "doesn't workout"(which may be the dumbest sentiment out of the many).
He bulks up and now looks 'really heavy'.

 

[Notsince67]

That was my prediction. Bertuzzi gives him another option and Klingberg on the PP should rack him up a few too.

He is 2 lbs lighter than last year. Means he is staying active.

Absurd to think that any professional athlete doesn't workout all year round.

His haters really do say a lot of dumb things.

So do his worshippers

Was it just me or did Marner and Matthews come off as more mature and experienced in their interviews. Just seemed to be all business and focused, speaking in calm measured tones.

 

[Arzak]

He does, but it's hard to tell in that sweater. Could be extra muscle or too much wedding cake.


But yeah, at first glance he looks bigger. So far so good!

Rielly looks 2 weight classes bigger than Marner.

Doesn't mean much, but sounds good for someone like me who's looking for any straw to grasp on to.

Rielly looks 2 weight classes bigger than Marner.

Yup, hard to understand that "Marner looks heavy" comment. Rielly though, now that's what heavy looks like.

 

[Notsince67]

Rielly looks 2 weight classes bigger than Marner.

Closer to 3

Marner listed on NHL.com as 6' and Reilly 6'1. That's a very significant 1"

 

[Gabriel426]

I would want to see MM play less on the PK and more on even strength.
I know he is great at PK but just want to see him focus on even strength more esp right after the PK to catch opposing team having tired players on the ice.

I'll make it simple to the math challenged.
Marner is about 15 inches past verticle from the picture. Basic pythagorean theorum will yield a verticle adjustment of about 1.56 inches. Add the slouch and any shoe sole adjustment and there is no conspiracy...just poor value for a paid education.
