Player Discussion Mitch Marner, Continued

[Gary Nylund]

Ah okay, so playoff hockey starts immediately at game 5.

Anything to back this up or did you just make this up to hate on Marner?

I am not sure I've ever seen you use anything but feelings in posts.

And yes, I always use Kucherov because it is an extreme example and no one has pointed out how it is relevant for Marner and not for Kucherov.

You seem upset, take it easy. It's only hockey, not life and death.

Maybe it's all just a big coincidence. But maybe (as many have said) Marner just isn't effective when the games get tighter and he doesn't have time and space to operate and that's why he's only productive for the first few games. It's not that playoffs "starts immediately at game 5", it's that it does take a few games to settle in to playoff style hockey and the first few games of the playoff look more like regular season hockey than games in the 2nd round and so on.

Anything to back this up - I could ask you the same question. Kucherov, that's all you got LOL. And for some reason, game 7 is all that matters, never mind the rest of the playoffs after the first 4 games and all the clutch performances he's had in the playoffs. A whole league full of players, and all you have is Kucherov game7, that should tell you how weak your argument is.

The numbers have been posted many times, But to you they're just feelings eh? LOL.

The projection is interesting.

Again, only feelings, nothing of substance, you can carry on if you want, but I can't argue against your feelings, no matter how irrational.

LOL feelings. You can live in denial if you like, that's your choice but the numbers are public record. Marner chugs along for the first 4 games of the playoffs at his usual pace, then his production drops off a cliff. Sorry if that hurts your feeling but the facts are what they are.

Marner scores but Matthews skates are too short.
Booo.

 

[Metroid]

I'm convinced he's a dad, and his daughter got rejected by Marner once upon a time...

Yeah you can break up the MM AM line anytime now. We have virtually no team success since WN and AM we're split for MM AM to be reunited. They were good for 1.5 games and it's gone.

 

[Lightsol]

Yeah, the goal is to win a Stanley Cup by getting better personnel, not making mandate changes for the sake of change. We have no idea what this team would look like without Mitch or a replacement.

Probably much worse, because then our entire offense would be on the shoulders of two guys who play when they feel like it.

 

[Lightsol]

No one is making excuses, I am questioning how people discuss specific players because it only seems to sometimes apply.

Does someone carry Kucherov to championships?

Better question; how come none of this logic EVER seems to apply to either Matthews or Nylander?

I'm still stunned that the entire Boston series was blamed on Marner when he was the only one of the three amigos to PLAY THE WHOLE DAMNED SERIES...

Too soft for playoffs
