Player Discussion Mitch Marner, Continued

[Hallonbroder]

Oof.

They're gettin desperate out here!

I, truly, have no idea what you’re going on about. I know, you love the player more than your own team, I get it

 

[francis246]

It’s becoming quite obvious (I mean it already was ofc) that you guys just want your hometown boy to get paid, instead of having your team winning anything, eh? Also, the way you’re taking that example about Nylander also shows that you’re just as mature as that kid that threw a fit on the bench last playoffs. I just can’t understand why, but it seems more and more likely that it’s because he’s…Canadian?

What I'm on about?!? Haha.. several posters have called you out on desperately pulling the "Nationalist" card, for Mitch being Canadian.. lmao..

There's other people claiming you might have an agenda clouding YOU, which makes more sense - as this is just another desperare measure. Add that youre a "2 week old" new user, and your whole shyt just looks Susss.

And f Mitch Marner - I'm Leafs all day. You just pay your good players. Isn't that what all the hockey men say? Give it up, Antro-lite.

Of course we are! Hey let's rehash this one too, since we're being so fair. Playoff warrior! I mean, I'm being facetious but it's hilarious how people rehash a debatable play over and over and over and over to fit some weak ass narrative. Anyways enjoy!

Omg how did I not know about this. That was hilarious and so freaking bad lol. Wow

 

[francis246]

I've never said this so why respond to my post with this nonsense? You remind me of that guy that keeps changing the subject to Kucherov when he's out of arguments but in any case, this strawman argument adds nothing to the conversation.

As far as Nylander is concerned, he has delivered good value for his cap hit in the playoffs, Marner has not. That fact that Marner and Nylander have been decent compareables over the last few years only shows what a disappointment Marner has been considering he has been making more than 50% more than Nylander which is quite the gap.

Someone mentioned it earlier and I didn’t really notice it before but I am noticing it is kinda true. You tend to bring emotion into the posts a lot instead of just replying to the topic of discussion, or you take a rebuttal as a personal attack towards you often.

I don’t think he said anything that would be considered nonsense. It’s just normal discourse on Marner and an opposing point of view

Omg how did I not know about this. That was hilarious and so freaking bad lol. Wow

To be fair that was in the regular season haha . But a brutal play

That's freaking horrible for top 10 paid players. Top 10 paid players man. Wtf

And Marner asking Matthews or maybe Draisaitl money. Keep selling those jerseys Keith cause you are not winning anything with this core. Sorry.

No idea who that is sounds like that old oaf that was in the league x amount of years ago.

I mean, yeah, it’s either that or he’s your friend or something? Have you not watched this core crash and burn 8 years in a row? If you have, why do you want to keep said core instead of going another route? He’s not your best playoff performer, so…what is it? It baffles me

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Ah yes, Marner did get an empty net assist again yesterday - totally shows he’s changed and will FINALLY perform in the playoffs

 

[Hallonbroder]

Calm down now, you don’t want laughing smiley-reactions from the peeps that can’t come with some solid arguments as to why Marner shouldn’t get Drai-money. I mean, he is racking up the points in November, that totally forgives the last couple of playoff performances

I was pretty clear.

Yupp - couldn’t use my old account since Hotmail’s pretty much down and can’t get access to it.

And actually - it’s basically the story of the Maple Leafs that is most interesting these days. It’s like a tragedy that you can’t look away from. Part of me hopes that they’ll get over the hump, part of me wants to watch Dangle etc be sad yet again.

But what strikes me is that some never learn, including leafs management and some of its fans. And I would really like to understand.

Last playoffs, I watched this entitled child (MM) throw a fit on the bench and fumble yet again. People were, righty, furious with him and wanted him gone. So what’s changed? He’s back to regular season Marner and now you want to throw even more money on him and depend on a roster setup that has not worked?? I would like for Amazon or whatever to deep dive into the mind of these peeps and/or the leafs back office

All this repetitive crap, I'm just enjoying a pretty great season to date. It's all we have and it's been impressive. See if it translates, and he isn't the only one.

I wouldn't even watch or follow if I truly felt like some here. We're in first place, he's playing great and I like our new style, should translate better to playoff hockey. The cap is rising fast moving forward, JT's big contract is coming off the books, we can easily afford a Marner now, so the doom patrol is just negative people projecting imo. 13 x 8 with a 20 percent cap rise over two years is completely doable and hardly over the top.

Understandable but most these people are right to have a pessimistic view on marner it’s very much what a sane person should expect he’s looking for an even bigger piece of the pie and hasn’t performed worthy of his last piece put Matthews in that category as well and nylander this year if he doesn’t perform

Nobody makes people watch the team. I just can't imagine hating a guy that's on the ice 40 percent of the game, seems a bad way to live life. If they're failures and losers, click off and do a puzzle or something lol.

Ok, here it is.
I'm with u on his struggles sorta.
I'm even with you on the hissy fit. Nylander was "the hero we never knew we needed" in that scenario, telling Matty and Mitch to stop crying for once. Loved it.

But you don't say, "that's enuff for you Mitch!" - greatest visionary this team has ever seen. Just cuz we're angry. Just cuz we continually miss the next round by 1 frickin shot every year. True these 3 boys couldn't even tie their laces up right the first few goes - poor JT! lol...

But i think hockey is crazy and random and there's probably more to be said for Matty and his lackluster effect on the team every year. But really, its not the individuals. If youre looking for a lightning rod for your pain, frustration, PTSD, we can all find one. The bottom line is just deeper.

Ovi - a loser til he did it.
Yzerman - loser til he did it.
Kane, Toews, Stammer - all the same.
When the team does it, they all get their narratives changed.

I hate me some Mitch Marner and his bitchmade antics. But you'd never tell it from me. Cuz I ain't a child. I know it takes more than a single guy to have this curse lifted. But - to Mitch's credit, my guy is playing like a man right now. Like The Man, even. Like, saved our Season so far. Like, people talking about The Hart trophy on the telecasts, for gawds sake.

I'll back up on all that l, don't get me wrong - but... you simply have to pay your good players. Bottom line. Youre not getting anyone else to come here, so stop dlooking. He's here - and you just have to get the cast around them to buy in. And with the D vets in Tanev and Cabe and OEL, and the goalies killing it for a change - you let Mitch be Mitch and sincerely hope he fu****g gets it this time.

I think people just want to win. They see players asking for record amounts % wise despite not winning. A lot of the high % contracts were sunsets. We haven't even made it to high noon with these guys.

Forgive me if I get concerned about losing Knies, Cowan, Stolarz, Woll or anyone else that could help us win and then replace them with a Holmberg because, he came cheap.

 

[thusk]

What you’re saying is what the deniers have been preaching now for years, but let me put it this way - in game 7 last spring, Nylander scored the go-ahead goal, assisted be Matthews. Marner, being the Selke-level two-way force that he is, on the other hand, lost his marking and let Pastrnak run away from him, which led to the Maple Leafs being eliminated.

If youre blaming marner on pastrnak goal, you clearly never played hockey of your life... What Marner had to do what to cut passing lane to pastrnak and closing up the middle, that's exactly what he did. Rielly job was to be sure and be 1st on puck after the dump because that what the guy behind should do in a 1-3-1... But that's not what's happened.

And if matthews line would not cost 2 goal in 3 of 4 first game, maybe this serie never goes in 7 because it was the main difference between game 1 to 4 than game 5-6-7...

Remove those goal

-gm 2-1 unstead of 4-1
-gm 3 : 2-1 win unstead a 3-2 lost
-gm 4 a 1-1 tie gm 3

that's the difference between winning and losing and maybe unstead of trailing 3-1, they would maybe lead 3-1...

 

[Gary Nylund]

Did Marner need to be better in playoff? yeah for sure and everyome is agree with this but its the same with Matthews, Nylander and JT... none of those player was even close to be good enough. I just don't like double standard acting like Marner was trash and the rest was better when it was not the case.

Someone mentioned it earlier and I didn’t really notice it before but I am noticing it is kinda true. You tend to bring emotion into the posts a lot instead of just replying to the topic of discussion, or you take a rebuttal as a personal attack towards you often.

The bolded in the above post is nonsense. I have never said any such thing and quoting me to complain about something I've said is nonsense.

The bolded in your post is also nonsense. I called out nonsense for being nonsense, there is zero emotion involved here and if that bothers you, maybe it's you who's being emotional.

Yup. We already lost Hyman cause we couldn't afford him, and the 4 players you mentioned are also players I would hate to lose and they will all be needing more money before long.
