Mitch Marner, Yet Again

There is video of him doing it vs Montreal and vs Tampa.

There is also game 3 of the Boston Series where both Paul Biz and Kelly Hrudey on separate broadcasts used the intermission to highlight how Marners effort on the boards was pathetic and disgraceful.
We want all you can find gotta remind buddy why he shouldn’t open a can of worms biz is one thing but when Kelly’s calling you out you know it was horrible
 
They all need to be better woll included that doesn’t mean woll and nylander weren’t great come on buddy 🛑

6,75 SCF vs 10,25 SCA - 3,5
3 HDCF vs 5HDCA -2

Only Kampf and dewar who did worst, If it's your definition of being great. We clearly don't have the same. Him and his line got heavily outchance, that's not great at all

It was fine, bruins offence was about basically only 2 player and had been unable to capitalize on those chance with Woll being great and even Samsonov gm 7( outside of OT goal)...so don't hurt the team that much leafs but doing the same vs Florida or Tampa, do you think you will get the same result playing the same exact way and get heavily outchance like that?

37 game sample size is always a great argument... I want to use a larger sample size and people want to use a smaller one for Nylander for some reason...

Use a 3 season sample size, does that work?

So we're not allowed to look at their raw stats per season. We're not allowed to look at when their contract was signed.

Why do we got to look at the very selective stat that Marner's agent shows us?

You are now down to a 37 game sample size... do better...

I am just saying they look at more than just stats from a single season or 37 games in your case, and you are trying to be selective, not me.

Well Marner peaked at 99 points. Nylander peaked at 98 points. Marner has the better linemates. Marner’s stats looked better early in their career because they had Nylander on PP2 and Marner on PP1.

Marner's usually the second highest scoring player on his line. Nylander is usually the highest scoring player on his line.

Even-strength points over the last 3 seasons:

Auston Matthews: 173 points in 209GP
Mitch Marner: 166 points in 217GP
William Nylander: 163 points in 233GP
John Tavares: 130 points in 222GP

Enough of a sample size for you? Clearly Marner plays with the more productive player. Big drop off between Matthews and Tavares.

Not sure but I didn't see that he was at fault for any goal against.
He was instrumental in the 2nd goal but wasn't on the ice when it was scored.
Considering he wasn’t on the ice for the 9 seconds from the faceoff to the goal, please tell me how he was instrumental.

Apologies, I meant Montreal and last year vs Boston.

And it was game 4, pretty incredible that two different broadcasts spend intermissions highlighting Marners pathetic game.

Well obviously the guy who spent the most time on the ice with Matthews got most of his assists. Were other teammates supposed to pick up assists on Matthews 5v5 goals from the bench?

Matthews linemate who makes nearly 11M out assisted first year rookie Matthew Knies - let's give him 14M!

Thank you for your donkey take. The point was posting cherry picked stats doesn’t prove anything. There’s a clear reason why Antroprovsky hasn’t responded since making his claim. He got caught red handed doing that shit

What - these stats aren't favourable enough for Marner for you?

We can even dive in further and do EVP/60 over the last 3 seasons:

Auston Matthews: 2.72 P/60
Mitch Marner: 2.62 P/60
William Nylander: 2.34 P/60
John Tavares 2.08 P/60

Clearly Marner benefits from playing with a player who produces more than him. Nylander has to carry his linemates.

Again has nothing to do with what I was responding to antroprovsky about. If you’re gonna come into a conversation, go back and at least read it, so that you know the context. Go back to arguing with others.

The conversation was that Marner assisted most of Matthews goals.

Breaking news: The player who plays with Matthews more than any player assisted the most of his goals.

I'm bringing more stats into the picture, and clearly even you can't defend Marner anymore. Get's harder and harder to defend Marner the more you dive into it.

You can argue he's better defensively than Nylander, sure. Arguing he's better offensively than Nylander is debateable as Nylander paces near Marner with the much worse linemates (productivity wise). Marner is the second best producing player on his line, whereas Nylander is the first.

No it wasn’t. His words were, Marner was not effective 5 on 5 with Matthews in 2023/24. Myself and others did a deep dive on that today and proved that wrong.

The problem is you're the one defining what 'effective' means.

Is assisting less than 40% of his goals considered effective? It's debateable.

Kelly took him to the wood shed it was that bad? I don’t remember it being that bad in real time wow he sounded disgusted and that guys one of the nicest guys in hoccey

I did a search today, 41% is among the league leaders.

Who in the NHL is assisting on more than even 40% consistently? Not even Kucherov is assisting on Brayden Points 5 on 5 goals at that clip, and we can all agree Kucherov is one of the best play makers in the league.

And that’s the whole point, who is Antro to say that, that’s not effective? That’s why I did the dive to find the ratio and the percent and surprise, surprise, of course 41% is one of the highest league wide.

Let's say he is effective with Matthews 5v5.

Who do you think benefits more from that line combination - Matthews or Marner?

I find it ironic people here kept saying Rantanen was a product of MacKinnon but can't accept that Marner might be a product of Matthews.

Thank you for acknowledging that he is effective 5 on 5 and that it was some bullshit posted earlier.

Now to your question, I think both benefit from each other. That’s sports and hockey in specific. Both players benefit. Based on the numbers I’ve seen, I’d say Marner benefits slightly more from Matthews, especially as a playmaker. If Matthews doesn’t score Mitch’s numbers go down, whereas Matthews if playing with others is a goal scorer, so as long as someone can pass him the puck he will score.

The only thing to note, is Marner has been the one to do it the best and on a very consistent level for Matthews. That being said, I acknowledge that others could potentially fill the role.
