Haha. Well it looks like 75% of people choose Marner. Nylander was using his body a little last playoff but you know how it is. If he wasn't listed haha

Here is a summary of last years playoffs Hits/60 of Leafs most physical playoff performers taking into account TOI/g and Hits.

Um no he doesntAnybody who votes for Matthew or includes Matthews in such a pool either
(a) Knows nothing about hockey or toughness
(b) Doesn't watch the Leafs
(c) Has a hate on for AM34 and this is a not so subtle way of trying to diminish his game and impact.
There is absolutely no solid case ro be made that Matthews is anywhere near the softest Maple Leaf. He hits, he blocks shots and he gets as involved as a star player should in scrums and after the whistle stuff.
In fact, this entire thread feels like a vehicle designed to get people to complain about the hockey team and certain players.
Minten? OEL? WTF
Um no he doesnt
Lol. Just ignore the fanboys. Auston Matthews ran away from Konecny and forced 40 year old Giordano and that wimp Bunting to come save him. While Rielly got jumped by the entire Lightning team, Matthews was picking up sticks only for Stamkos to start whooping on him.Gets involved in scrums.
Imagine this guy in the league when it was actually hard to play in it.
Marner at least has the decency to be an inward twerp, he doesn't drag his teammates into ass whoopings while being twice their size.
Lambert would approve of McCabe.One thing everyone would agree on is that Jake McCabe is the toughest guy on the team.

You've already used this phrase 188 times this year, and you've been wrong every single time. How arrogant and clueless does one have to be to think they speak for everyone?One thing everyone would agree on is that Jake McCabe is the toughest guy on the team.

That was a rhetorical question BTW so need to worry that you can't answer.![]()
IMHO people should say what they mean, mean what they say and understand what they're saying. That's what makes intelligent discussion possible but if you'd rather join the "spew arrogant nonsense" club then hey, you go right ahead.Everyone would agree that you take things far too literally.
Agreed. I can't think of an NHL player playing today who's a better example of what the opposite of killer instinct looks like.I'm no expert at hockey.
But I do know a tiger can't change it's stripes. And Marner has a yellow one the length of Yonge Street. When I think of “killer instinct” he’s the furthest thing from it.
I don't get how the greatest fan base in the world went from expecting magnificence to accepting mediocrity.
Management is in disarray unable to figure a way out of this mess they created. The worst part is they refuse to acknowledge it even IS a mess. Because they don't understand what the problem is.
As for the players?
How worried is Marner that despite doing everything he can to avoid physical contact over the years he has to change that now. When it comes to the jelly drop that forms the core of this creampuff team he's easily the squishiest and that's not changing. Because he knows there's no accountability with this franchise.
The entire organization is softer than my fat gut.

I find people expressing their thoughts clearly to be anything but miserable.IMHO this sounds miserable to live like this and more people should enjoy the board as a form of entertainment and not take obvious hyperbole as a literal statement.
Also, did you count the 188 times he used this statement and has he been wrong every single time?
Are you now saying things you don't mean and taking away from the intelligent discussion?
This seems very hypocritical and like you'd rather join the "spew arrogant nonsense" club.
We chose Marner because it’s trueHaha. Well it looks like 75% of people choose Marner. Nylander was using his body a little last playoff but you know how it is. If he wasn't listed haha
Geeeez for a second I thought that was Gilligan or Mary Anne
Wow, I agree with all of thisMarner has always been soft, not sure a poll is needed to validate that.
For his size Matthews is disappointingly soft.
Matthews is no the softest, he deserves honerable mention but not number one. Maybe 3 or 4Anybody who votes for Matthew or includes Matthews in such a pool either

Constantine Falkland Carey Smythe would be disappointed with this era of Leafs’ players.I'm no expert at hockey.

I'll play, what is the case for Matthew being softer than Marner? Jarnkrok? Holmberg? Robertson? Nylander? Tavares? Kampf? Liljegren? OEL? Rielly?Wow, I agree with all of this
Matthews is no the softest, he deserves honerable mention but not number one. Maybe 3 or 4
There are a few here that do that when it suits them, including the one he quoted.Everyone would agree that you take things far too literally.
Why do you guys argue
