Cool. But there’s an entire hockey team surrounding marner that also didn’t do anything. Are we just gonna not talk about that?
This isn’t a mitch manner issue like it isnt a diamond. It’s a leafs franchise issue. Period.
Pathetic and Unacceptable are very accurate words.
Finally someone on TV said it. Marner has been awful all series long.
Savage. But Marner is broken.
Marner isn’t playing well, but I wonder if Biz realizes that it isn’t a diamond PK, it’s a completely different system
Literally league min Robertson could be the top guy better than that, I’ve seen it, holy.
You know it’s bad when even the American broadcasters are calling you out.
I literally was screaming into the void for Keefe to sit Marner back in game 3.
I got [my post thumbed down](https://www.reddit.com/r/leafs/s/HfPL7rwz8g) about complaining about Marner’s softness after game 2. Yes, we just won the game so everyone was in the mood to defend Marner. But I saw it right away, he wasn’t playing up to his potential. He needs to not be elevated to the first line immediately. He’s still a decent player, but we need to stop treating him likes he’s an 11m player cause he’s playing closer to a $4m player.
Interesting seeing the US ads
Biz is 100% right. Players are banged up around this time of year and play through a variety of injuries. What’s the excuse for his shit play in previous playoff failures?
Wow I’ve been saying this shit for 5 years finally
I think he’s doing this shit on purpose
Great analysis
First clip, Marner can skate further along the boards into the zone and change his angle of attack instead of peeling away, especially since he’s drawing 2 Bruins’ attention… even if Lybushkin’s pass could have been better. But of course that would invite physical contact from the Bruins’ player and that’s a no-no.
Second clip he gets his feet knocked under him and trips. Simple as that. A nothing burger.
Third clip is another nothing burger. He’s reaching with the stick because the Leafs’ backcheck was not there on that rush, something that arose from the LAST shift.
The PK shift is certainly him roaming but why isn’t Samsonov being criticized for going down early and neutering himself? Marner could have tied up the Bruin in front of the net though.
All in all, a 5/10 in clip selection that seemed more predatory than it did informative.
Blows my mind that there’s still people defending Marner. Absolutely pathetic Hockey player
gOOfy team. Bunch of princesses. Toronto needs to build a different culture
This EXACTLY WHY you pay people AFTER they have won something and not before.
How would any team want Marner after seeing him disappear year after year in the playoffs at that price tag?
One of the best bits I ever heard. Was 2 years ago when Marner got carjacked and the Queensway Cineplex was that he wouldn’t have been there if they had made it out of the first round
