Marner haters right now

[Gary Nylund]

Or the countless times Marner was set up by a teammate in a great scoring area only for him to try to deke it in the net or try to pass the puck?

11 million should be given to a player who is a franchise player with an entire tool box of elite options... not a small playmaker, with zero tenacity, with average wheels, no shot and needs to shotgun a top 5 goalscorer/point producer on his line to compliment him.

I agree, Marner is a great player but he's overpaid for sure.

Present and future is all that matters, past is irrelevant

LOL WUT? If we're talking about the Leafs PP (or anything else having to do with the team for that matter), what else is there to discuss and base our opinions on other than looking at what's happened in the past. Or wait, can you see into the future?

 

[Confucius]

Well A powerplay goal would be nice.

I just don’t get how you can’t score on the powerplay at all and still be labelled an excellent pp player. He can only at best do 50% of his job on the pp. It’s like saying a player is elite 5 v 5 but they lack one of the three key elements to do so, goal scoring, playmaking and play driving. If you can’t do all 3, then you aren’t truly elite, just very good. Same goes for the pp, if you can’t score and pass, you aren’t elite, you aren’t apart of the 1% of elite players. Mcdavid kucherov and draisaitl are examples of elite/excellent powerplay players

I agree an excellent PP player should be able to get "A" PP goal a season.

 

[Racer88]

Yes, because you can be an excellent PP player without being an excellent PP goal scorer over some arbitrary period.

True but when you are consuming 11 million dollars of a fixed cap a few goals now and then should be expected

 

[Racer88]

So when Marner hit the post last night, it was because Marner didn't set him up?

He has a dizzying intellect. Lol

 

[ShaneFalco]

He has a dizzying intellect. Lol

Inconceivable!

 

[ShaneFalco]

105 games without a pp goal at 11 mill but he can't be moved off. Dubas can't have anyone upset

 

[Gabriel426]

Not being a great PP goal scorer and not able to score in PP are two completely different thing.

Honestly, if the PP is scoring, I don’t think it matters who the scorer is, however, if a player is having as long a PP goal drought as Marner, that’s got to be a concern of some sort.

 

[Racer88]

Inconceivable!

I do not think that word means what you think it means

 

[nsleaf]

Seems Marner is hated by the same small group of posters who appear to be strangely obsessed by this one player with their relentless regurgitation of the same opinion.

 

[therealkoho]

Inconceivable!

Said with slight lisp perhaps?

It is a problem already though and we see it in the playoffs when goal scoring is at a premium. We keep getting shut out in pivotal games. It’s on Matthews and JT as much as Marner but when you make franchise money you need to consistently be able to do both. If you can’t, you don’t make double digits.

If Marner made 8.6/7 passing to another 4.5 million option then that’s fine, but you are payed Kucherov/Panarin goal scoring level when you are a Backstrom assist man.

regurgitation? Marner is the gift that keeps giving in terms of new informstion that proves hes overpaid... 105 games and counting without a pp goal, 18 post seasons without a goal and he is now on a 65 point pace this season.

where is your information to prove that he isnt overpaid? Got nothing huh?

 

[Racer88]

Oh ya

There's discussing shortcomings and there's calling Kyle Connor a better hockey player..
