Marner who?
The guy with 2 assists and nothing more in game 1 of 3 on a team who’s record is 1-0-2?
He was stripped of the captaincy. Spin it however you want but if they actually had playoff success, he’d still be the captain. They made that switch because they kept losing year after year and instead of trading somebody, they had to try and generate some feeling of “change”. And it didn’t work because the results are basically the same. Just like this team turned to career losers like Spezza, Marleau and Thornton in the past, they continue to do it with Tavares.
The “value” of 4 million for regular season stats and playoff disappearing act doesn’t help this team achieve it’s goal of a Stanley Cup. The illusion of value doesn’t help this team when it matters the most. It’s not like the type of value McDavid brings to his team for a discount. It’s just another over the hill, over rated, under performing Toronto boy riding out the rest of his career as a loser on the team he grew up cheering for. He’s a great person, of that I have no doubt, but he’s not a winner and he hurts the team in the playoffs more than he helps them. He’s a passenger.
That 4 million, plus the money wasted on Rielly, should have gone towards retaining Marner and making this team more suited for the playoffs. Tavares is not good for the playoffs. End of discussion.
Once again UG I’ll go with what the team says not you as truth and they say he stepped down.
As for Rielly your hatred is being based from one super bad season so drop it please.
And I’ll say this one last time. Berube adjusted his coaching because Marner was on the team but Marner is NOT one of his types of players. Unless you’re fast as hell you better be physical as hell to play under Berube’s PREFERRED type of game. Of course Berube used Marner last year, what coach wouldn’t? But they weren’t going to fork out what they would have to pay him to give him a $7.5 mill take home.
Now stop your obsession, he’s no longer a leaf UG, not will he ever be again, the end. The people running this team now want bigger and tougher types. If you don’t like it boo hoo but stop whining about it, you literally coming across like a whiny ass childish Marner.
I won’t lie about this, I’m a long time musician, a bassist tbh, and I’ve come across singers and lead guitarists in other bands who’ve acted like Marner many many many times in my life. Most musicians hate them, the bars hate them, the sound guys hate them, etc. More than a few times I’ve punched those dipshits in the back of the head backstage and told them unless they wanted to hit the stage with a black eye to shut the fuck up and trust me, I’m not the only musician that has done shit like that. Get rid of dipshits like that, I don’t care how talented they are, they sour things, badly. 1 selfish jackass can make a couple dozen people who normally have a great time pissed right off and annoyed and that’s Marner in hockey. So I’m glad that little whiny ass bitch is fine, REALLY happy, cause I can tell what he is, it’s called a DOUCHE.
A leader of what? Stripped of the C and constant playoff failure. Less career playoff points than any other core player and giant defensive liability.
Stop it UG, he wasn’t stripped he gave it up. And what do you think his $4 mill gets the leafs instead?
Wait, so paying Tavares $4M to do fuck all in the playoffs is a huge failure.
But you wanted to pay Marner $13M to do fuck all in the playoffs?!?!?
He only hit the post and got 2 assists last night. His stick and intelligence still work just fine, he’s a vet and doesn’t skate the same as he once did and people are supposed to be surprised by this? A $4 mill 2nd line C who is damn near a PPG guy who still is a true leader for a team is a steal, like him or not.
Seattle would be brutal to watch with the time difference.
I hope all games start at 8pm ish EST.Yeah I know what you mean. It’s one of the very few times I’m happy to be an epileptic who isn’t allowed to work lol. Just had a titanium vagus nerve stimulator put in so that finally might be changing (as stupid as this sounds but good because man I miss working, last official job was 2019) but not til roughly January at best. So my biggest trick for late games is to sit in the harder chair in the livingroom and not our cozy skylar peppler couch where I’d likely pass out, man, that thing is preferable over my bed sometimes, didn’t make it past the second intermission of the Oilers/Flames game last night before saying “fuck it” and going to bed lol.
Domi does not belong at center, he’s a winger on the Matthews line.
Which would put Jarnkrok in the middle on the 4th line and I bet that’s what Berube hates.
