here are some "nuggets: from Marner in clinching or momentum swinging games. VERY BIG GLARING MISTAKES.
Fans remember!!!
Game 7 against habs - offensive zone turnover by marner when game was tied 0-0 (I can list many STUPID plays by marner in the habs series if you want)
Game 6 against bolts in OT (first time around) - stupid pass AND then STUPID DEFENSE (again could list many STUPID plays by marner if you want including Game 7)
Game 2 against Florida Leafs had a 2-0 lead and then Marner being a complete buffoon giving panthers the lead in the game and the momentum (at 1:50 mark)
Marner was a f***ing GHOST in that series against Florida
Game 7 against Bruins this year (I could add others from the series where he was complete ASS)
And ofcourse Game 7 OT Marner being a complete ASS
I could list many btw.... People often forget that little things matter in the game and Marner more often than not lacks attention to detail, boardwork, puck battles, etc....11 AAV is too much for a player like that who continues to make glaring mistakes and at very important times. Because of this cap hit Leafs have to dumpster dive and fill the roster while marner continues to make mistakes in playoffs. When is this enough? WHEN?
Are fans just suppsoed to slobber over how awesome marner is even when he continues to make mistakes that cost Leafs games? (above are jsut handful of examples).
COME ON MAN!
Enough is enough already! I want Leafs to WIN. With or without marner. So far with marner Leafs' results have been trash. it is time Leafs try to get these results without marner. I don't want leafs to commit another ridiculous AAV to Marner given his past, glaring mistakes, his attitude, lack of personal accountability and responsibility and more importantly negative impact on the Leafs on ice results in the playoffs
1st was 4 year ago when i talked last 3 when he really simplify his game.
fun 2 took 2 goal who was complete muffin giving up by goalie and 2 goal who should never goes in.
the 1st vs tampa, Marner just drop the puck outside of defensive zone, a pretty basic play in hockey and it was a 3v3. Miscommunication between Holl and Marner. Marner took hagel to slow him down but the problem is Holl also goes on Hagel and let giodarno dealing with both of point and killorn+ Campbell was also weak on it. ..
The Barkov goal is probably the worst goal allowed last 3 but let's see the exact moment where marner took the puck after rielly missing pass and tell me what's was Marner option on that play? Florida had 2 player who was covering any play off the board and he had no pass option, he was in bad position to try to dump it and whatever so he did possibily the only option he had, try to create himself some space. But everything happening because rielly turnover. 2- This goal wqs just horrible, no f***ing good reason to let this puck goes in, it wqs a basic save for a NHL starying goalie.
Pastrnak goal, if you're understand a little bit how hockey working, you should know than the1st player who come 1st in defensive zone is D responsabilities. So the fact Pastrnak was the 1st player who goes in, it was rielly responsability to cover him and not marner guy anymore.
And did you really took a penalty kill exemple when he stole the puck behind the net and was like 1v4
The fact leafs outplayed Kucherov line 2 year in a row, especially last year a huge part of it came from marner game... The fact Pastrnak had been pretty quiet first 4 and marchand last 3 ( when marner started to play more vs marchand with matthews injury) a good part of it came from Marner. 1st 4 game, Marchand line didn't had any issues to create offensive vs matthews domi and bertuzzi but the day Marner step in with both playing most of the time vs marchand line, Marchand disapeared
and to finish, in none of every vido you're posted, we saw a lack of commitment. In none of video you posted of last 3 years who was a Marner mistake
-a miscommunication with Holl who took the wrong guy
- a pretty bad by rielly who put marner in pretty bad situation
-a basic 1v1 foward v D speed fight lost by rielly.
It's all you find to bash Marner game??? We can talk about Marner lack of Scoring in playoff but NOBODY can talk about Marner lack of commitment in the defenzive zone and wven if he was playing with a bottom 10 D in the league, he had been able most of time to shutdown top opposite line year after year and it's the only one amount core who did it.
