GDT: Sens at Leafs 7:00pm on CBC/SNO Sat, Oct 16th

[TMLeafer]

What a block by Dermott. Got his stick!

 

[PromisedLand]

damn it sandin play defense ffs

 

[djdev]

i dont care what he does, i just dont think im ever going to like engvall. his IQ is just too low lol

 

[Aashir]

Good points. I'm considering what this team looks like on paper once Matthews is back.

Marner and Tavares will be fine once they aren't matched up against other teams' best.

I mean Marner still will

It infuriates me how much I agree with this. $22m of forwards that can't play against opponents' best.

 

[TheGreatOne11]

Travis Dermott with the Ultra Instinct play.

 

[Griffin76]

Dermott's always been great at diving and stopping the pass on 2 on 1s

Shhhhh. The narrative this year is that he needs to be moved on from.

 

[IPS]

Marner is a 5 million dollar winger. A winger who can't score 30 is never worth more.

Jesus Christ…

 

[Canadian Finn]

can't having $11m players playing against the "other team best".

they need sheltering.

 

[Black hat blue eyes]

Dermott learning from brodie

 

[The Podium]

If anything it is actually JT and MM along with whoever they are playing with thats not scoring.
The depth has been scoring each games.

It’s wild that people fail to see this. Same with the playoffs. The depth has been scoring the entire time.

Simmonds and Kerfoot score tonight but “the depth isn’t scoring”

 

[Aashir]

I think I’ve liked Liljegren and his defence much more than Sandin this game. Sandin has been much better offensively, but he’s also had 2-3 shifts where he’s been completely hemmed in, Liljegren hasn’t had that so far

 

[ponder]

Ppl are being too critical of Marner. I was critical of him last playoffs, but he’s been playing great so far this season, just not getting the bounces (or finish from his line mates). Dude is playing very, very good hockey, the points will come.

 

[Dangles McGavin]

I mean Marner still will

Fair point though Matthews draws all the attention and rightfully so.

If I'm coach I'm putting Marner on line 2 and Willy on 1.

 

[Dave92]

Jesus Christ…

Name one?

5's an exaggeration, but a winger who can't score 30 making over 7 is insane. 4th liners can PK better than Marner, both the special teams he was on were awful last year.

 

[diehardleafsfan9878]

Dermy doing the brodie

 

[Azazel]

i dont care what he does, i just dont think im ever going to like engvall. his IQ is just too low lol

What if he knocked Marchand out right after Marchand did marchand things?

 

[TheGreatOne11]

It infuriates me how much I agree with this. $22m of forwards that can't play against opponents' best.

Both have made great plays tonight, didn't go their way, it happens, but they have been hustling, Marner truly does need to get some sort of threatening shot though.

 

[Gabriel426]

It’s wild that people fail to see this. Same with the playoffs. The depth has been scoring the entire time.

Thats the narrative they like to believe bc it helps them think their BOYS are not the problem.

 

[hamzarocks]

Marner has been great vs top competition? He's set upp nearly all the chances line 1's gotten. Bad luck otherwise he'd have 2-3 pts

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

Come on, boys. I drove back from Whistler like Mario Andretti just to catch the end of the game. Make it a good one.

 

[Dangles McGavin]

Ppl are being too critical of Marner. I was critical of him last playoffs, but he’s been playing great so far this season, just not getting the bounces (or finish from his line mates). Dude is playing very, very good hockey, the points will come.

His two way game is phenomenal. I just need to see him takeover like an 11m player should.

Ultimately his salary has crushed his reputation.

 

[dubplatepressure]

Shhhhh. The narrative this year is that he needs to be moved on from.

It is not. It's that he needs to capitalize on the opportunity he has to move up in the lineup. Perhaps even moreso now with Holl injured and Muzzin playing like ass.

 

[Lightsol]

You're doing it wrong. It's supposed to be "Mitch Marner is the ENTIRE problem with the current team and if they just dumped him for a ham sandwich, the Leafs would be 1000% better".

 

[Racer88]

Jesus Christ…

Ya that’s a bit of an under value, he is worth closer to 7 million
