Player Discussion Mitch Marner, Continued

[thusk]

I just hope some oracle comes in here to tell us about how only the playoffs matter.

or antro who gonna tell marner just benefit of jt on his 1st goal
and
his second goal was just an amaizing play of everyone on the ice except marner

 

[thewave]

With matthews 13 goal and 82 pts pace
without matthews 62 goal and 144 pts pace

But Marner need Matthews to looking good, all credit goes to matthews for everything marner doing

So let's do that going forward and hope it continues into the PO. Nobody cares if they are wrong when the wins are rolling in.

It looked like Marner had a good game but I won't celebrate until someone tells me his icf, xicf, iscf, ihdxf, ihdcf, xgf, lgbtq rate compared to Nylander.

Nylander was better on all except for the last one.

I get the apprehension about this not being the playoffs, but, you do still need great play from your stars in reg season to make it to the playoffs, too; especially missing some key players for a fairly long stretch. As has been said -- there's nothing wrong with appreciating what we have seen the last little while. All our core players (that are left) have stepped up bigtime during this stretch.

I get the playoff thing somewhat. We have seen tons of regular season success and little playoff success.
But it’s pointless to say let’s see it in the playoffs when that just isn’t possible right now.

Marner has been playing fantastic ever since Matthews went down. Hopefully the two are kept on separate lines when Matthews returns. McMann - Tavares - Marner has been really good and Marner always got Tavares to elevate his game.

Exactly. It's a given, it's baked in, it's forever true, he and they will be judged on the playoffs. So, let's just assume this self evident truth. Then what? You either don't watch, OR you take what you see now, and are encouraged. I see a little more maturity, a little more careful with the puck, a little more board, dirty area, effectiveness. I see a guy excelling when the Captain is out, when the forwards are dropping like flies, I see leadership. That's objectively good, with the caveat being the self evident truth that stooge nation doesn't have to repeat because it's a self evident truth.

Dude is a monster right now. Unreal to see every night.

 

[sunstersun]

I am/was a Marner skeptic, but I've been uber impressed with his play without Matthews. When Matthews comes back, let Marner drive his own line through the playoffs. I'd be happy to pay him at that point.

Great game.

 

[Jmo89]

I'm as frustrated as many with the playoffs but it's obvious they're re-signing Marner. I don't think they ever tried to trade him. Berube wanted him this season and Berube will want him next season.
