<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AustonMatthews3443</b></div><div>I'm pretty sure Marner started off the year in the middle of the ice on the PP but then was moved back to the halfwall after only a few games. That's how I remember it, I very well could be wrong though. I honestly wouldn't mind seeing Marner in the bumper on PP1 bcuz let's be honest he's never going to get taken off PP1. With two shooting threats on the half wall in Nylander and Matthews, Marner's creativity and playmaking in the middle could be very useful in a tight area that the bumper spot on the PP plays in. The only shooting he would do would be point blank one timers from the low slot when the net front guy sneaks out to the near post and receives a pass and one touches it to the guy in the bumper, which Marner can handle, he's not really a shooting threat on the halfwall at all, but he is from the low slot. Being able to create offence from the bumper on the PP is super effective as it forces a tighter PK formation, which means more space for the shooters on the halfwall.</div></div>

I agree, there is no chance Marner comes off PP1. Most likely they load it back up. But it’s hard to not look at the success they are having right now, like even when they don’t score they look super dangerous. But that’s why I’m just an ACGM

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AustonMatthews3443</b></div><div>That’s pretty cool to have played against him in Junior. I know a few ppl who have played against NHLers when they were young, but never in Junior. I played against Wahlstrom is a spring hockey tournament when I was 14 in Boston. I also played on a spring hockey team with Noah Dobson when I was 11, and you could tell they could make it but when you play with someone in Junior you know they’re gonna make it and you can enjoy the experience of watching them play more as you understand how special they are, that’s sick man.</div></div>

Thankfully I was the backup goalie and he was on the best team in the league by a country mile so I only had to endure his skill once. All of the other games I got to watch from the bench.:tearsofjoy
