who scores 1st? (10 million dollar edition)

[Buds17]

Two out of the three will score Friday.

The third will set up the goal for at least one of the two.

 

[bbgobie]

Dermott will send a floater that gets deflected by JT's ass into the net.

Seriously, we should have a poll about how the first will go in.
1. Beauty snipe
2. Deflection
3. Rebound
4. Off someones ass

 

[123offtheglass]

Definitely not that Matthews guy

 

[RunItBackAgain]

Uh we’re one game in for AM34 and he looked 10x more dominant than MM16 and JT91 combined in their first 4 games.

The real question should be more like, “Who goes, Marner or Tavares”

 

[kevsh]

Very sarcastically, at this rate I think it's feasible Mikheyev will score one this season before Marner. And I do hope that I'm wrong.

 

[34]

Matthews, the leader of the Toronto Maple Leafs.

 

[Gabriel426]

Kampf

 

[Mess]

Marner from Matthews and Tavares on the PP.

 

[Anthrax442]

marner with a slapper top corner.

From center ice

 

[Notsince67]

Two out of the three will score Friday.

What are the odds

 

[justloveleafs]

Mats SUNDIN was pretty close to as good as mario lemieux...

If kyle was our gm back then, do you think, he would have had the game but pretty awful hockey players on his line

 

[ottomaddox]

I would look really bad if Nick Ritchie scored a goal before them.

It would look really bad if Nick Ritchie scored a goal before them.

They would look really bad if Nick Ritchie scored a goal before them.

Dubas would look really bad if Nick Ritchie scored a goal before them.

Shanny...

I'm sorry? Who played with Sundin who was awful? Thomas, Tucker, Mogilny, Renberg?

Sundin is no Lemieux, and I love Sundin - but just for the sake of discussion.

Awful is probably harsh but Sundin played with lots of guys who weren't first line caliber players.

Renberg would be one, probably more like a decent 3rd liner at that point
Hoglund - depth scorer
Poni - 3rd liner
Antropov - Decent 2nd liner when healthy
Tucker - Love the guy but not a top line player, energy guy who feasted on the PP for a few seasons (although I don't think Sundin played with Tucker much at 5 on 5)
Modin - Second liner at his best, but inconsistent and more like a 3rd line caliber player during his Leaf career
Steen - 3rd liner during Leafs career

Those are the guys off the top of my head he played significant minutes with who were clearly not 1st line caliber players

Mogilny and Roberts were the only ones I would consider legitimate top line caliber players and both had injury issues in their 3 and 4 season Leaf careers.

Thomas is probably a debatable one, he had some big games, but also lots of injury problems and while his Leaf career was pretty good statistically
28 G, 73pts
36G, 63pts
8G, 34pts (injury shortened 57 games)

Look at the seasons around his Leaf career, injury filled and certainly not first line production.

Most stars don't. See: career of Connor McDavid

Leon Draisaitl?

 

[ottomaddox]

Leon Draisaitl?

You're being silly. I get your point, but you know for a fact that McDavid's weak supporting cast has been the media/fan sentiment for years.

 

[TMLAM34]

Voted Matthews.

Tavares doesn’t shoot the damn puck anymore. Marners shot is equivalent to a peewee players.

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

The poll truly makes me sad at the state of our goalscoring.
If I had to guess - first will be Matthews, after that Tavares and maybe someday Marner.

JT looks cooked.

On the bright side, he looked cooked last year as well and then started to pick it up so hopefully that happens again.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

More interesting question would be who scores first, Marner or Tavares. Adding Matthews makes this poll completely lopsided.

 

[ITM]

More interesting question is: How often will we have polls to determine who of the big contracts scores first when their droughts range from one game to four games throughout the season?

Sticky thread if ever there was one.

 

[PROUD PAPA]

Write in for Tavares.

 

[Chief Berube]

LOL this place is toxic as F. How did they get us here?

 

[yubbers]

Malthews

[aingefan]

That’s actually a very funny thread title.
Johnny T…power play.
