I think he breaks out for a big game, he had a few gorgeous chances last game. Just a matter of time til they start going in, he's too talented to not be scoring.

Nothing seems to rattle him and he seems to steady out anyone he plays with. Leafs best actual d minded dman, consistent.

Games that start with observations like, “this should be...” rarely end up the actual result.
For once just do it. But not to jinx it, ... ”this should be a very hard fought loss.”

"Should" is in a different time zone to how our guys have played. Just a win is something to build on for now.

You can't lose what you never had.
I'm 1-1 but we got smoked by Pitts AHL team on my last ... so I'm giving myself a time out.
meanngless vs real life situation. All this statistical mumbo jumbo is ruining sports. First baseball, football & now hockey. What about real life eye test....stats do not measure heart, grit, determination....these characteristics are FAR more important than bs stats. am tired of seeing them to justify everything...especially losses.

Are you suggesting he looks good? He has no energy. Watch him, watch the exaggerated arm motion and stick flailing.
Marner is today a shadow of his 750,000 version.

Ok, uninspired is good. 10.5m vs 750,000 version. 4th line might inspire him. It was always said he is one of the few wingers in the NHL that could drive a line. Then he doesn't need AM. Go earn your keep. Turn lesser players to better players, rather than pull down AM and Ritchie.

Nah... they are important, all of it. Stats, Eye test, all of it important... you can't just dismiss useful information, just because you don't fully understand it.
Agree to all you said. He is pulling others down. He is being paid to make others better. This is not about injury, or bad luck, this is about lack of engagement. His social life is more important, you can see it.

Hot take, based on a few games. The guy has been a star here for a few years, and people lose their mind on a small sample set. Calm down new poster guy.
Been watching Leafs for a long time. He is trying to be a star and is failing. He is not a star until he starts winning. His personal life has changed him. He appears to think he has made it, financially he has, ice wise he has not.
Quit bring such a homer that you cannot see through the leaf glasses. 54 yrs of that.
So what forward is slower??? Watch him through a critical eye, not rose colored glasses.

Who cares, we said this against Pittsburgh 2 weeks ago. No game is a guaranteed win with this team.

Looks like Lehner vs Campbell
LEAFS NOTES AND GAMENIGHT: Liljegren gets another shot, Holl to sit again | Toronto Sun
VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS 4-4-0 at TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS 4-4-1
Tonight, 7 p.m., TV: TSN4 Radio: AM 1050
WHY WATCH?
No recent losses here
Each team is feeling good about itself, relatively speaking. The Maple Leafs have won two in a row, while the Golden Knights have won their past three after winning once in their first five games. “Any time you come to Toronto, there is a lot of things going on, a lot of guys from the area,” Vegas coach Peter DeBoer said. “Where do you start (with the Leafs)? A dangerous team and they’re a little bit of a wounded team, which means the coach has their attention.
POINTS LEADERS
TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS
GP G A PTS +/-
John Tavares 9 3 4 7 -1
William Nylander 9 3 3 6 -3
Jason Spezza 9 3 2 5 -1
VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS

VGK: 0% (32nd)
TOR: 14.8% (26th)

VGK: 84.2% (12th)
TOR: 82.8% (16th)
THREE THINGS ABOUT THE GOLDEN KNIGHTS
1. We’re not going to see anything close to a full lineup from Vegas, as integral players Mark Stone, Max Pacioretty, Alex Tuch, Nolan Patrick, Mattias Janmark and William Karlsson and Zach Whitecloud are nursing injuries. Still, the Leafs were expecting the Golden Knights to bring their usual sound work ethic. Keep an eye out for Michael Amadio, claimed last week off waivers from Toronto.
2. The expectation is that Robin Lehner will get the nod in net for Vegas. He has won his past two games and would be looking to improve upon a solid career save percentage (.925) in 12 games against the Leafs. Versus Toronto, Lehner is 6-5-0 with one shutout.
3. In their first game on a four-game trip, the Golden Knights will attempt to achieve a first for the franchise. They’ve not won in any of their three previous visits to Toronto, losing in a shootout, in regulation and in overtime. To possibly help this time around, the club arrived on Saturday, had a day off on Sunday and practised on Monday.

5-2 Vegas. Leafs Nation back in shambles after a small high from beating a winless team plagued with off ice issues in OT.
