Oilers or Panthers?

[Racer88]

Pointless question. I watch him play, he plays great and who he plays with is irrelevant. Marner plays with best goal scorer in the game and still chokes when the pressure is on, what's his problem?

Marner chokes under pressure whereas Hyman seems to be the kind of player who thrives on pressure, that's the difference between the two right there.



All these years making 11 million a year and he still hasn't figured out. Have you heard the expression throwing good money after bad? That describes perfectly what a Marner extension would be.

I kinda wonder why we have had to wait for 8 years already for Marner to figure it out in the playoffs and still waiting because it isn’t ever going to happen

 

[notDatsyuk]

So start hating on Tre... he made the team worse this year and a bunch of people are praising him

Sure, blame Tre for things he hasn't done - signed Marner for $12.5x8 and made the team worse.

He might do either or both, and if he does the former that will likely result in the latter, but he hasn't done either yet.

 

[notDatsyuk]

Hyman is 5th on his team in points, and both his linemates have more... why are people acting like he is the driving force?

I don't think anyone is even suggesting he's the driving force. That's a strawman argument. Posters are just saying that he has produced better than Marner.

 

[notDatsyuk]

I think the absolute worst thing Hyman has done is to outperform the personal favourite of one non-biased poster here.

 

[Tie Domi Esquire]

Not true. I remember Some People blaming Hyman and Brown for the failures of the team way back when.

How lucky we were before Dumbass ransacked the team, on track to being one of the best teams in the league. And now we're stuck in no man's land for at least 5 more years.

Who hasn’t Hyman been better than?

Every thread just becomes a Marner whine fest. Some really need help with this obsession.

 

[Niagara Bill]

Come on Oilers.
End Bettmans reign of terror at 30 years.

At least most people are posting about hockey whereas you seem to be mostly whining about other posters.

 

[colchar]

Watching the game, and wondering for the hundredth time what the pathetic idiots in the first row think they're accomplishing by banging on the glass when the play is in front of them. Do they actually think the opponent will be distracted?

Can’t believe they gave the Conn Smith to a player who choked away game 7 without a single point, no points in game 6 either but his team bailed him out. Game 7 when it really matters, just got the big apple.

 

[Ho Lee Mackinaw]

A bit off topic but there isn't a thread for this. But I gotta say it.

I am a die hard Leafs fan. Over 40 years. I watched every game this year.

One thing I learned from the playoffs this year is how far the Leafs are away from even competing for the Cup.

The core (Matthews, Marner, and Nylander and Tavares) do not have what it takes to win in the playoffs. They are individually talented but collectively way too soft and lacking in intensity to accomplish what Florida did. I can't imagine them doing whatever it takes to win. Nylander won't even back check, let alone get greasy, block shots and throw a body check. I will not get my hopes up for next season no matter how many goals Matthews scores, how many wins they have in the regular season or where they finish in the standings. Playoffs are a different beast and the Leafs are not built to win in the playoffs.

Until at least two of the three go, and are replaced with players who will punch their own mother in order to win, the Leafs will continue to flounder.

The saddest part is that this is the softest era ever and they're still too muffiny to even compete.

RIP thread

 

[Tie Domi Esquire]

The expected goal junkie non-watchers will probably credit Bob for the Panthers throwing everything but the kitchen sink at the Oilers to prevent them from tying in the third.

 

[Racer88]

Every thread becomes a people whining about people whining about Marner fest.

And then other people commenting on people whining on people whining about Marner……..and the wheel goes round and round.
Lol

 

[Maple Leaf]

How can you like marner
Set this franchise back maybe forever

 

[RunItBackAgain]

f*** the Oilers. Never in doubt.

Oh ya and f*** Marner too.

What is it that causes big time scorers to freeze up during the playoffs? We Leafs fans see it all the time with out Big 4. They can't seem to score in crunch time.

And now Edmonton had McDrai go quiet in big games in the final. Virtually nothing from McDavid in games 1,2,3,6, and7.

They say defense wins championships. Looks like that's true. Once again a strong defensive game won the Cup.

 

[Suntouchable13]

It’s all over but the crying. There is some kinda hex on Canadian teams, this is crazy.

 

[TMLBlueandWhite]

Um, congratulations Florida, I guess.

Even though they lost I'm still proud of Edmonton. McDavid is a helluva player and he's from the GTA. He was easily the best performer in a losing situation.

It's easy to cheer for a guy like that.

Like the old saying goes: you gotta lose it first before you can win it. Florida just proved that much again. It won't be long until it's Edmonton's turn.

And when they do finally win the cup I'll be cheering for them.

Especially if it's the Panthers they beat. Florida is a vile team. Full of players who repulse me.

I would have loved to see Edmonton humiliate them last night.

 

[tuckerintensity]

Positive note for the Leafs, a team Treliving put over the top just won the Cup.

 

[egd27]

From the drop of the puck Florida wanted it more last night. First to pucks and hitting the Oilers every chance they got. Edmonton with far too many stick checks and soft efforts particularly in the first half of the game.
