yeah these kind of completely invisible slumps haven't happened to Marner, Laine, Nylander, Werenski. They ddn't happen to Eichel, or McDavid.

If we like to believe he is a franchise player he needs to stop the disappearing acts. This is the 3rd time time this year and his apparent effort makes him well-deserving in each case.

First year dude.

First year.

Happens to all players

Laine November 11th-29th.

2 points in 10 games. Goaless.

Marner Nov 19th-Dec 13th

4 points. No goals.in 11 games. Goaless

Echiel pointless in 6 games Dec 16th-23rd

Oh and Crosby is on a 8 game goal less streak. BUST

Move along these things happen to every single player

Edit:Crosby WAS on a 8 game goal streak he scored last night
- Santo_44

3 times in one season? and I believe it is a pointless streak, although he did get 2 points in his 13 game blight.

Who would you vote for Calder?

Remember hos Eichel was not even in the same league. Remember When Laine was not in the league?

So far, I see the ultimate display of streaky, and a guy who shows up only sometimes. He is brilliant, when he decides to play.

Trade him while he still has value

But it doesn't happen to those guys. This is fake news.

The microwave is telling me so....

Players go though insane hot streaks during the season where they get like 15-20 points in 10 games.

Where do ya think that it levels off?

I don't get it

First year dude.

This is the good counter-argument. I am hoping it is this also.

I also think they really are a long way from finding him good linemates.

No we should just do the Leafs fan thing and persist in believing he is the bestest player ever and is completely infallible.

Don't they already have Nylander?

1st year,...seems to be trying to do to much some shifts....quick spinarama a couple games ago where I think he should have tried to score but instead throws a blind pass etc.

You're doing that thing where you play the contrarian and eternal pessimist so you can insight reaction in strangers.

I am like the other morons on this thread who, lacking a real point, just resort to making dumb-ass statements and then yucking it up together in a big (frank)ing circle-jerk of stupidity.

Just hope you aren't the one that gets the cookie dude.

Laine

Laine has gone pointless in a 4 game stretch 3 times this season.

It's gunna happen. In fact. It's unavoidable to go through an few slumps in a season.

Partly yeah.

But seriously, I hate the fact that people in Toronto have suddenly become immune to any sort of negative reality.

Here is another one... Korshkov was a (frank)ing HORRIBLE draft pick that no other team would have made and every single person in this thread should have done better.

Well maybe not the bestest ever
- Zezel

No, he is. He is awesome. Never done anything wrong. He isn't 19 years old and has no room to grow. He deserves the Calder. Maybe even 2 Calders.

Polak fails to dump it out, falls down, trips matthews behind the net. Guy is a (frank)in' disaster

He's literally had 5 bad games in a row in a year where he's been good pretty much the entire time otherwise. This is why nobody is taking you seriously.

I think the problem is your negativity about Matthews is not reality.
