Holy fuck, I literally said Marner was a great 3v3 player, your ignorance knows no bounds. But I don’t give AF about 3v3 as the Leafs don’t ever play it. If the Olympics continue to have 3v3 OT, hell yeah, I take Mitch on my team every time, but I’m happy the Leafs didn’t overpay for a guy that CONTINUES to disappear in big games. He had ONE great pass today. Oh, he’s good defensively, you say? Matthews had more good defensive plays when it mattered.
Now, my Captain has learned what it takes to win in clutch situations. This will help his career.
He’s great at 5v5, 4v4, 3v3, PP and PK because he’s a great player. Your retardation is limitless.
Contitnues? Did he disappear when it was an elimination game vs. Finland? Nope. Took on 3 guys and won the game, 1v3.
He was great defensively, he was trusted in many high danger scenarios and did very well in them.
Using Marner Derangement Syndrome logic on Matthews, he did fucking nothing today. Did not score a goal. Did not win the game. Had an assist on a goal that Boldy did basically everything by himself. Matthews “experience” is no better than what Marner proved by winning in OT vs. Finland and winning in OT vs. the USA at the Four Nations.
