Terribly disappointed with Marner so far.

I don't think anyone but McDavid looks good on that line

 

[MNRube]

Hope Theodore ends up alright. Last thing anyone wants is to see any of these players get injured and miss significant NHL time.

Sucks for Theodore, but I’m not feeling too bad for Vegas.

What's been so bad about Marner? I haven't really noticed him but maybe that's the point.

 

[WarriorofTime]

Dang did someone tell Marner it was the playoffs. He’s getting roasted here.

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

I'm no doctor but even I know that your arm and wrist can't bend like that.
I'd be pissed if I was Vegas management.

 

[Nucks2001]

Looks like Travis Sanheim will be getting some ice time with Theodore likely out. Wonder who replaces Theodore on PP2, although to be honest, I don’t think PP2 is going to be seeing a lot of time this tournament.

 

[Coach Reggie Dunlop]

Raymond has slowed up and poked at 50/50 pucks more than once. Extra minutes have to be earned.

He’s literally been a beast in the corners for Sweden, what game have YOU been watching.

 

[Nikki Potnick]

Gud, because McDavid, MacKinnon and Crosby can only end up with Sid getting a pulled groin covering for Defensive mistakes of two.

I'd be more worried about his back carrying those two.

 

[boltsfan86]

Sucks for Theodore, but I’m not feeling too bad for Vegas.

Hope he heals up so they can't L**R him

 

[Zirakzigil]

Dammit @hangman005 !

 

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

You can tell Crosby is elated to be on a good hockey team again.

Here's a replay of his pregame shower.

Kinda wish Bedard was there. He should be playing with mcdavid

What's been so bad about Marner? I haven't really noticed him but maybe that's the point.

I think I’d rather see Paul Bissonnette than Marner out there

 

[Coach Reggie Dunlop]

Nylander and marner have both been absolutely brutal tonight. 0 effort and pace from either of them. Nylander has been even worse, back checking like he doesn’t even care. I’d be pissed if I was a leafs fan seeing that year in year out.

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

What's been so bad about Marner? I haven't really noticed him but maybe that's the point.

Popular to shit on leafs players.
I do though think that McDavid and Marner just aren't the best fight with their playing styles.
Hopefully proved wrong.

When your 6th or 7th in the league in ppg and expected to be paid as one of the best players you need to be impactful either by chance &/or generation/conversion or be a pain in the ass with relentless forechecking and aggression.

Its only 2 periods but he doesnt seem to have chemistry with Mcdavid. Id try hagel L2 and Marner L3

 

[Connor McConnor]

Dudes brain can’t fathom playing a competitive game. Must be shocking

I’m absolutely disgusted seeing his play today. He is completely disengaged. Reinhart and McDavid are working their tail off and this guy is just floating losing every puck battle and doing nothing

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Yep. That's what I wanted. We'll see how it goes.

...sabotaging things for his buddy Pornstache...

McDavid is playing with Marner and Reinhart. One is a 50 goal scorer and one is a 4 times 90 point player

Bedard is no where close to any of them

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

Oooookaayyyyy.

I mean, sometimes there is actual truth to it but idk. I do think he hasn't been nearly as visible as, say Marchand, Point, Jarvis, and all of the usual suspects

I hear you they already made thousands of Save Stone from IR hats made in support.

No he hasn’t. He’s been soft as hell. No way he’s earned minutes blowing snow like he does. He is never first on a pick where a collision will occur.
