Player Discussion Mitch Marner, Continued

[Confucius]

I never once used the word 'stress', I mentioned 'distraction'.
You clearly don't understand.


How many months along is she?

Ok have it your way, I’ll just stick with, the only player who may be distracted is Mitch the players are pros and will just go about their jobs

It's not my way, it's sport. These things happen in all sports.

Even pros made videos that it was Marner that messed up. Totally absolved Nylander, ffs Nylander was a million miles away from the play to begin with.

Don't forget the waaaah waaaah wahhh video of marner avoiding the corner because of his ankle I am guessing? Then circling back around and giving a love check to that big bad Bruin. Don't forget all the corsi floaters from way out too.

I'm not absolving Marner of all blame, he was completely puck watching, he needs to more aware. But if one part of the system fails the others cannot stand there and not do anything about it. and that;s the issue with this team in the playoffs. Everyone has the it's not my responsibility issue. If Marner's man sneaks in behind him, other players have to step and I would expect the same for Marner. That's what being a 5 man unit is about. That play was a failure on our system as a whole. Marner puck watching allows Pastrnak to slip through back door. Rielly is up high on a cross ice dump in for God knows what reason and is caught flat footed. Nylander doesn't back check at all, just watches and assumes Rielly will make a play there. We can't have that.

Careful - you're almost sounding like Willy is responsible for covering up for Mitch's defensive shortcomings.

 

[Gallagbi]

The two guys that do are Rielly and Samsonov. On that dump in play Rielly is way too high to the blue line. Pastrnak’s speed is too fast and Rielly is flat footed out of position he cannot cut him off.


You keep saying Nylander shouldnt have left his side but Nylander was literally in the middle of the ice the entire time. Marner ends up lower than Nylander by the end of the play. But in the video you can see Marner has no clue Pastrnak has blown by him till Pastrnak is by the hashmarks. That’s on Marner for sure. But what the hell is Rielly doing in no man’s land and that float in by Nylander is brutal too. Complete system failure.


Please point the time stamp in which you think Marner should have impeded Pastrnak?

Where do you think Mo should be on this play when you say hes too high?

Marner needs to cut the lane at the redline, force Pasta around it, which reduces his speed and makes his path longer. It's about the 2-3 second mark of your clip, but he's not the only one at fault.

I don't really care about the Pasta goal.

We can't win playoff games without more than 2 goals. We scored 3 goals once in the last 12 playoff games.

We don't play playoff hockey in the regular season and we all wonder why it goes wrong?

NORTH SOUTH PHYSICAL hockey.
