I think it’s likely they want keep Marner and are trying to boost his image before re-signing him.

Hopefully he worked on his speed as it’s was well below average.

Are they that delusional? Nothing will boost his image but a long playoff run where he leads the way. I hope they are not stupid and won’t re-sign Marner and JT till we see the playoffs.

Playing him with Matthews is a bad sign.

But yeah, very possible that we'll waste the rest of Matthews prime on proving Mitch deserves his cap hit.

This organization has weird priorities.

Yesterday showed me nothing that Marner would buy into an in your face style of game. I wish we dealt him.
Seems to be an unrealistic expectation. I doubt very much that's what Berube is looking for.

Mitch is the whipping boy despite none of the core being very good in the playoffs.

I have to say I'm surprised nothing was done really for two off seasons

They signed the better two (who despite missing games still led the team in the playoffs) last year and have to wait until next summer to deal with the others.

Not really anything to be surprised about.

They both got walked....badly
McCabe was going forward and not backwards. If Marner was as smart defensively as certain people suggest, he should've seen McCabe was in a vulnerable spot and took away the middle more. There was no other offensive threat even close to them to worry about. It was a solo effort by the Senator, 1 vs 2, and the rookie Senator dman walked both leaf veterans, including the apparent defensive genius, Marner.

After they lost in round 2 they ran it back

Then they running it back again... it definitely a surprise this time

They lost in the first round 4 times in a row and then made it to the second on a lucky bounce, and kept running it back.

We finally got a new GM last year. He's done what he could - sign the better two of the four, work on fixing the D and G, and hire a new coach. Unfortunately there is virtually nothing he can do about the other two until next summer.

He's stuck with running it back, at least as far as the core four go, for this season.

The only really surprising thing is how bad a mess the previous GM left.

It will be a surprise, and disappointment, if he runs it back next year.

I just wanna see how many get triggered now :laugh:

P.S. Willy did say it ;)

Yes it’s been known for a while the audio is out there. I mentioned that it will probably come out in the upcoming Netflix series.

No one said he didn’t say stop crying. That part was very clear. People thought he said “it’s not f***ing juniors” after saying stop crying but he didn’t say that part. He said “that’s the f***ing issue, people always yelling and shit” after saying stop crying bro

If anything that audio makes it even more clear that he was talking to Matthews tbh. He says “shoot it” before anything else.

Hopefully we get the full audio snippet so it can be put to rest either way of if he was talking to Matthews or Marner

It sounds like the full thing is coming out but the other leafs were not mic’d so we may not hear the full convo but even in the trailer Nylander is looking right at Matthews not Marner.

Leafs are apparently pissed this has been included in the series and they didn’t have creative control to cut it out.

Wasn’t that one of the big things Amazon wanted? They wanted full creative control to show whatever they want and depict a more accurate setting behind the scenes? Sounds like the leafs are just mad this makes them look a bit bad, which in a way is what was intended.

I for one am pretty excited for this. I was hyped for the “All or Nothing” series too, and better yet it’s not something as cheesy as the “All or Nothing” I think I’ll enjoy it even more.

Highly unlikely he was telling Matthews to stop crying. Reminder that Marner literally spent the entire shift crying about a non call and then approaching the ref after the whistle about the call before going to the bench. The interaction with Nylander happened shortly after Marner sat down. Also, Matthews never even touched the puck the entire shift in question. Why would Nylander tell him just to shoot it?

Nylander is telling Marner to quit crying bro. Maybe even because the ref warned Marner of a penalty while on the bench if he didnt shut it.

The only thing I want to see is the bench argument and how hurt Nylander was earlier in the series.

edit- I just watched the trailer. Every Nylander part felt like a parody and would be great for a laugh.
