Player Discussion Mitch Marner

[BertCorbeau]

Best to ignore


It was funny that the broadcast didn’t figure out he was playing defense until his 6 shift or so.

Wait, what? I missed the game...

Think they just could not believe it at first

Laggeson was hurt early in the first. Marner started playing defense half way through the 2nd.

Sucks for Laggesson but that's a funny situation for Marner.

Guess it helps when the score was that tilted.

Yeah I doubt very much they do that in a closer game.

Playing with 5D would be extremely taxing for the D so it's a good move especially in a lop sided game. There is also a day game Monday so perfect situation to do that.
Playing with limited D isn't unique to Keefe either. I remember a game with the Marlies Keefe had to run 4 D for a lot of the game.

Matthews on part-time #Leafs defenceman Mitch Marner:

"He looked right at home back there (chuckling). Just some of the plays he was making, some of the passes … it was like he was playing there his whole life. He’s incredible. He does it all for us."

Is this the game day thread,? Ive done a significant amount of legwork to bring these articles with authors who've spent a significant amount of time to research this topic.

I'm doing this in response to posters who just keep saying OMG Marner assisted to Matthews OMG,!

Yet these posters don't want to discuss these articles with the advanced stats that say otherwise?

Why because they can't argue it! The advanced stats tell a different story.

Just keeping everyone honest here. And keeping the truth out there. I'm convinced that Marner has some hired muscle on this board.

So you just want to argue? Keeping everyone honest?????
Ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha .......

That's pretty shocking considering Marner seems to play significantly more minutes with Matthews.

Matthews had played more minutes with Nylander at the time of that article.

 

[Drytoast]

They will resign him because that's what Matthews wants

Despite all he does, he’s still unliked by many Leafs fans.

"He was unbelievable back there quite honestly". Keefe

Also on pace for 98 points, man I hate this guy...or is really deep down my "life"? Hmmmm.

It would be good to have a friend like Auston. Even though 16 has been holding him back all year, he still can't find it within himself to just say the truth that every LeaFlander knows about MM.

They are not Leafs fans, just a bunch of snotty nosed boys in short pants who have never played the game above a year of house league.

Was fun to see him back there, and he really acquitted himself quite well.

That is not true at all, insanely popular.
I handful here is hardly representative of his popularity

Also because teams generally resign 100 point players if they can?

That are also former Selke nominees, you don't see that combination very often.

He had a slow start, he isn't batting down pucks as often in past years, but he's been playing great hockey for a while now, his attention to detail apparently alludes the less sophisticated posters, but the pros get it.

 

[Gary Nylund]

There's even a team that will do so no matter what the cost.

Let's hope he plays great hockey in the playoffs when it really counts, and not just the first 4 games either.

 

[GoonieFace]

I’ve noticed a bit more edge to his game recently, glad to see it. Just bring it Mitch and all will be forgiven

 

[Raging Bull]

I think you're confusing Leaf fans with HFBoards. The small fraction that are on these boards don't represent the average fan.

He is very popular, but there are still lots that don’t like him.

I know a couple that are old, played Junior hockey, and have cheered for the Leafs for over 60 yrs.

 

[ACC1224]

He is very popular, but there are still lots that don’t like him.

A handful who talk about his dad or the puck over the glass years ago aren’t relevant.
Respected around the league and loved by his teammates trumps all that.

The advanced stats say he didn't have 2 assists last night? I don't think that's true
