Player Discussion Mitch Marner - On Hiatus

[ToneDog]

But they would at least make it a bit more difficult for opposing player to enter the zone, such as a little bump or even be in front of said player.

It was a great play from the Bruins, there is no doubt about that. However, MM who supposed to be this amazing Selke level forward, should had done a little more than just letting opposing player enter the zone untouch, the goal could had been prevented.


Like getting an extension, team friendly deal….
But there is nothing, like absolutely nothing. Even medias are not talking about it.

Looks like he is going out for a stroll in the park. It is OT of game #7 of the playoffs. You have stunk for most of the series, have rep of sucking in game 5-7 and that is the intensity your bring. Time to move on folks.

And if he reaches his full potential he’s a top 5 player in the league.

This is comedy

Now do playoff wins losses.

1. AM is not beloved
2. MM didn’t even realized Pasta was skating next to him till too late.

The main problem on the goal was MR44, followed by Samsonov, with MM a distant third

 

[ToneDog]

Seriously TOP 5?

He might not even be Top 5 in the division.
Pasta, Kuch, Barkov, AM then Point, and Tkachuk.

I'd include Brady. Love what Matthew said about his Bro after winning the SC. Would love to see if he could do for us what his bro did for Florida in two f***ing seasons.

As Ferraro said, either injured or disinterested in Game 7

You can add Willie, who also looked asleep. Those are 3 of our 5 core folks. That won't fly with the new coach.

Only goalies are credited with wins and loses.

What’s comedy is how the goal posts keep moving

If Marner would take accountability and stop being such a clown in the media he’d be a fan favorite.

And if he reaches his full potential he’s a top 5 player in the league.

Almost all of those players have had playoff success, which means multiple rounds per year, and I would assume points are harder to get in the later rounds than the first round.

Take our that first rd last year against Tampa, which had some blowouts, which helped boost Marners pathetic playoff stats

I don't think there is much to talk about when it comes to Tavares. He is going to resign here at a much reduced number. I suspect everyone in and outside of the organization already knows that. He isn't leaving Toronto.

what’s berube gonna do about it? He won’t demote players or sit them.

Like I said, it was a great play from the Bruins and they deserve full credits.

The thing that bothers is not MM didn’t chase Pastra to the corner but it is the fact that MM didn’t even bother bumping into Pastra or skate in front of him, these two little things will cause Pastra to not enter the zone as quick.

 

[Trapper]

What is there realistically to say? He's not going anywhere. That's the end of it.

Then why wouldn’t you say that and end the endless media speculation that is bad for your team and the player.
Do you usually treat the players you want to keep long term that way?

This core 5 is 19-30 (0.441) in the playoffs. Let's keep trying and hope things will change.

Edit: Sorry I added next year's 4 losses in round #1. They are 19-26 in the last 6 playoffs.

What was Willie supposed to do on that play exactly the complete opposite side of the ice was his responsibility

 

[ToneDog]

He has to get them working harder and smarter. Keefe was a joke. If Berube can't you might as well close the book on the Shanny era.

And JT can’t skate.

I am sure Berube is some magician that will fix all our problems

I thought he was in the middle of the ice looking disinterested. I could be wrong. Like I said, I'd love to hear Berube's take of the play.

Which is where he should be when the pucc is on the other side of the ice shadowing the far side dman

Wow.

Blue and White disease

 

[ToneDog]

Probably but look at him, does not even take a stride from the blue line in. Zero intensity; not a good look for me.

 

[Kiwi]

Unfortunately this isn't our decision and the way Dreger was talking it doesn't sound like he's going to agree to moving anywhere

It is what it is, bugger all we can do about it

 

[Evilhomer]

What endless media speculation? I don't think anyone is saying anything. Everyone knows he will resign in Toronto. Why would they need to rush to resign him a year before they need to do so? At some point during the season we'll get a tweet saying that he's been resigned. It's just a matter of what the number and term end up being, but it will be team-friendly. He is here until he retires, and that won't happen for a few more years.

 

[Racer88]

He's top 25 in PPG for active players...

Mostly playing along side the best pure goal scorer in the league right now. I wonder if that has anything to do with it?

 

[GoonieFace]

Yeah but we can’t win without Marner. This team will go up in flames without him. The horror

I think the Leafs would like to move him but know it’s probably 90% that they can’t.
Between his NMC and the fact that for what the Leafs want in return and the crazy salary he probably wants, it’s just not with it.

So Tre is trying not to strain the relationship. Not saying he’s a priority, just saying he’s a great player. End.
