I think Marner's playing well, but he doesn't really have the killer eye that we know he has. He's looking dangerous at times, and that feed to Rielly was so nice, but he's also whiffing on his own chances. In each of the last two games he's dangled their defenders out of their jockstraps right in the slot but hasn't even been able to get a shot away as a result. Very impressive plays, but when he's on his A game he finds a way to put those in the net.
Hard to complain too bitterly about a player who's got 3 points in 3 games, but I think we all want to see a little more from our superstar. I think he's a little too much of a Leafs fan and feeling the 17 years of playoffs angst and therefore not loose enough. Once he settles in and starts having fun again, he'll pop the hell off and carry us for a round.
