my pool has five bench positions so it really gets down to the dregs

there's a fellow Leaf fan in the pool and we compete for Leafs so it pushes guys up. He snaked me on Nylander in both pools the (frank)ing banana eater

Ya my buddy took him in a pool that had
G, A, +/-, PPP, TOI

The time on ice one sounded cool to me. It left open the opportunity for guys to grab 3rd line players that kill penalties and dmen that don’t get pts but play a ton.

I do believe he’ll come around. Just a player who unfortunately starting the season in a bit of a slump. Matthews should get that line going and JT will fire up since Nylander already is as well is my bet.

I hope I’m not wrong lol

The sad part is, I think there are some people who do hope you're wrong. Because misery loves company.
But yeah Marner will be fine. I got no worries for him.

He’s not the first star in league history to start off in a slump. The way people act like how he is the first ever just makes me shake my head

Marner could have easily had three points last night, if not four or five. He'll be fine.

But apparently he was invisible, not even playing.

If he could've he would've ZZ. I could've banged 5 girls last night.....ya okay Barb.

My thought, Marner doesn't want to play well with JT so Keefe doesn't think about that as an option. Marner wants to play with Matthews because his point totals will be higher than with JT.

Marner might not be the team player some of you think he is. I mean, it's not not a possibility.

Agreed and I bet Matthews is going to be fired up to get going right away after missing the first three games. Wouldn’t be shocked if Marner starts point production rather quickly starting tomorrow

I honestly swear a lot of the people who talk like that don’t even watch the games and base their opinions solely on them reading stats and/or watching the short video of the game highlights

This is a brutal take.

No, just no.

I like the deep level thinking but it’s not that complicated

That’s a bit over the top, I’m sure he’s fine playing with the captain.

Problem is he’s only 24 and started the season stressing about being productive but hasn’t figured out how to calm himself and just play his game. My hopes of Matthews coming back is it will help Marner chill out and simply play and stop worrying so damn much

I'd bank on that being correct.

Thanks for the support lol

But yeah, I just think it’s one of those years he starts the season in a bit of a slump, not surprising since he got hurt the day before game 1

I remember watching him break his stick after he missed a good opportunity in the pre-season. Pre-season. You can tell he's frustrated, and I get it. But the fans out there saying "he got his money, he doesn't care, no heart, blah blah blah" drive me nuts. He will be fine though.

It’s like watching Marner trying to score a goal.

C'mon man. JT gotted robbed by a save of the year on one Marner setup. Missed a tap-in on another. Marner was in alone on another play. If a player is generating chances you don't worry about them.

The idea that Marner Intentionally didn't play well with JT is insane altogether.

I love how people female dog about his contract… Dubas had to give him that cause Lamoriello (frank)ed him over by not giving him bonuses in his first deal. Lou also tried that against Matthews but Matthews would have sat out. So because Marner got ripped off without bonuses in his first contract he and his agent expected it balanced out in the second one.

I was just throwing it out there. Far fetched, sure.

Marner will be fine....or he won't. Keep calm everyone, carry on. It's all good.
