He’s a poor man’s Crosby.

i dont hate that comparison.

If he had another gear speed wise.. call barb and get her on that

I'll respond with:

Hyman Matthews Nylander
Marleau Tavares Marner
Lindholm Kadri Kapanen
Johnsson Gauthier Brown


I don't trust Kyper after his Marner rant. I seriously doubt his credibility.

Who cares what you think? Where’s Santo?

*Zaitsev tries to pass to Gardiner*


*misses by 15 feet*



4.5 million, huh?
- Steven_Seagull

c'mon... you have to cut him a little slack...

about 80% of the time Gardiner doesn't know where Gardiner's going to go... how's Zaitsev supposed to figure it out

McDavid for Wilson and Orpik

even when that line has nothing going you still see tavares grinding it out. he's one of the harder working skilled players in the league
- daeth

Do I really have to point out Marner's work ethic?
The guy is relentless. I'm trying not to sound like he's head and shoulders above Tavares. Theyre pretty damn close. But you guys don't seem to give MM enough credit.

seriously, he would be an improvement over Chiapet

I've been hoping for Nylander to improve, but he absolutely sucks tonight. He's by far the worst player on the ice... And Zaitsev is playing.

Nylander will improve. Leafs fans, as a whole, have to stop being so impatient. Once April comes around he'll be fine. It's crazy how how people have think he has changed so much in 15 odd games.

True, but Gardiner was standing in one place.

Not too sure. Bigging up Tanev just before he turned poop and turned into a nightmare contract is my guess.

that's a difficult situation to put Zaitsev in... he has to figure out which foot to fire the puck at

Marner to Carolina for a conditional 7th.
His contract is going to be a burden.

People keep saying this and I think it's TRUE... huge butt here... it's just so damn frustrating to watch him float around and suck.

Can't argue it. But I can (and will) argue your "it's not even close"
- UsernameUnknown

It’s not even close atm. Probably be equivalent in a year or two. Natural progression of Marner learning how to be a Good Pro everyday like Tavares.

It's not so much that as it's how incredibly bad he has been this game.

He's held the puck and tried to do it himself when he had obvious and decent options to move the puck to a teammate. He's been pushed around easily. He's generated nothing in the way of offense and has contributed more to Florida's puck possession than ours. His positioning is poor and his play seems like he's gassed again.

Bottom line is that I want him to improve and I expect he will. But right now, I'd nail his lazy ass to the bench for the 3rd and probably bag skate him and sit him a game. He needs tougher love at this point. His conditioning is awful.

Kyper: leafs should put Marner with Matthews for the 3rd.

Babs: CONNOR BROWN YOU'RE UP!!

Matthews is having a hard time getting on the board.
