Hey! Frankie Corrado played for the Pens last night! Good for him!

No one said such a thing.

There were half a dozen guys who said that you win Stanley Cups with guys like Komarov, not with guys like Kessel.

They'd rather have 6 Komarovs than 1 Kessel.

Sorry to inform you, mykokes, but Leafs fans are idiots.

All of us.

To be fair, these things do smell horrible.

bought this for a Christmas joke last year... a little spray and you DON'T want to be closer than 30 feet where it was sprayed!

They should just spay the thing once (on the bench) and the whole team'll wake up!!

I love how you're completely objective and not getting carried away at all Max.

Honestly, the Marner/Datsyuk comparison isn't that insane. The level of 2-way game, puck stealing, and puck wizardry he's got, in his rookie season, as a 19 year old... Sky's the limit.


McDavid is definitely in another tier than Matthews though.

Well, if there were a couple more kessels on the ice against those 6 Komarovs, Kessel would stand a better chance of winning that shinny game no? Loosely translated, I think 6 Komarovs would destroy 1 kessel, I mean if 2 of them hit Phil at the same time, that leaves 4 komarovs to bury the puck into the empty net.

And they won? Coincidence? I think not! #FireMilkBabschlok

Datsyuk's rookie year:

70 gp, 11 goals, 24 assists, 35 points.

That was as a 21 year old (that's if I'm doing the math right).

I still think Matthews is > than Marner. That said, both are (frank)ing awesome.

And if we had 6 Komarovs, we could trash talk in 36 languages!

The intangibles would probably be tangible!

I'm so glad he finally has a chance to prove himself.

Not a wrong answer at this point.

But how 'bout this:

Marner is more fun to watch than Matthews.

I've never been a fan of comparing young players to legends.

Mostly because it's silly, dumb and useless.

Marner will never be Datsyuk. He'll be Marner.

I told you all Leafs fans were stupid.

I was adding 20 years to his birth year, and then considering that as him being 18.

I need another coffee.

The Datsyuk/Marner comparison is insane. NO way Marner who is not a C is Datsyuk nor a perennial Selke candidate nor has to play a 200' game that a C has to play. Wingers have it easy compared to top C. We all show our homerness but c'mon.

Me too, I was very concerned...

He's been a better rookie than Datsyuk so why not? Not insane at all

Folks are gonna compare Matt Murray to Auston Matthews come end of season.
