FFS, how can you put forth such little effort last night?
~Atomic WedgieIn fairness, we thought the same thing after game 5 against Ottawa. That being said, I don’t think this group has the cahones to bounce back against a much better team, (than Ottawa). This is perhaps the most talented Leaf team we’ve seen in a LOOOOOOOONG time, but pure talent only gets you so far in the playoffs.
If the leafs lose tomorrow do they even offer Marner a contract? Or just low ball him. No way they’re giving him anything in the ballpark that has been going around.
~bryantI have no doubt the Leafs will try to retain Marner, he’s a heck of a player. But if he’s under any impression he’s getting a raise, then shoot him into the sun. Look at all the players that make more than he currently does, (okay, NOT Matthews). For the most part, they’re playoff studs. I don’t give a flying fuck what accolades you collect during the regular season, you’re paid for what you do in the playoffs.
I suspect after asking him to waive his NMC, he’s a little bitter towards the team. Also, the fans have/will turn on him, so does he really want to play in that environment? He seems like the kind of player that cares mostly about money, so he’ll find a team that’ll pay him $14-15Mx7 and fuck off. No hard feelings. He had a NMC, he had every right to refuse a trade. But good lord it would have been sweet if we landed Rantanen and were able to re-sign him.
Dream smaller. Like maybe marner gets a point or matthews scores a goal at some point
~FakepartofmeCan I dream that fancy pants Marner doesn’t give the puck directly to Florida leading to a goal?!?
Why the hell would Bennett leave the panthers for the Leafs?
It makes no sense
Not happening.
~FakepartofmeOh, I know. Let a guy dream, though.
Making sense
~PDFFor sure, this is not over. Almost every Cup champion has moments like this where they’re on the verge and then they clutch the fuck up. Florida was down 2 games to 0 and 2-0 in game three, then they did Stanley Cup Champion things.
That being said, this team just does not have that player, (or maybe 2-3 players), that can single-handedly turn the trajectory of a series, (aka McDavid, Drai). That’s what makes it frustrating AF living in Alberta and hate watching the Oilers. I think the Leafs are a much better constructed team talent-wise than the Oilers. But the Oilers have gamers, guys that bring it to another level when required. Heck, throw Bouchard and Nurse in there as well.
The Leafs need to make drastic changes. Their hands are tied, so no matter what people think, Matty, Willy, and Rielly aren’t going anywhere. They better retain Knies long term, and then JT and Marner are the odd guys out. Sure, it sucks to lose a generational (regular season) player like Marner. But we have a similar player in Cowan waiting in the wings, (although, I’m not sold on him at all). We need to use that cap space better. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
Stollarz on the ice at practice, but unlikely to travel with the team to Florida.
Fuck Bennett, (until he is a Leaf next year).
Perhaps the biggest disappointment in all of this is that Mr. Sir chooses to post on that shit website vs here, lol.
Very weird though. When I browse the HB threads, I don’t see any more “Marner MVP” or “Give him $14Mx8” posts. Wonder why that is.
