Thread: Bye Marner
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockeyfan1986</b></div><div>Can you provide a term for fair amount?

Season this year is 59. Playoffs is at 3(I am actually surprised), but he gave a hit on "the play" which he avoided the hit. So, it's safe to say he's less than a hit per game this year. For a guy who averages 20mins a night it's pretty low.

He should have taken the hit. Tavares was right there to take the puck. Link below of the play I am talking about.

How many 80+ point elite 2 way wingers play harder physically than marner? Theres your question.
As for the play, it was a typical 'keep speed beat the defender to the inside play that guys like him, even way more physical ones do every game.
Was it the best choice of play? No, because he's clearly not up to something that involves a burst if speed and a direction pivote so soon after a high ankle sprain.
Would have taking the hit been a better play? Maybe, but there were probably half a dozen other things that could have worked better.
It was a bad play, but it wasnt a bad play because of some made up bailing on a hit nonsense

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockeyfan1986</b></div><div>Someone should really understand jokes online.

Or possibly understand that the jokes have a little truth in it if it stings a bit too much.

Also, the guys above mentioned does have a physical aspect to their game unlike Marner. It's playoffs and Toronto has been said they play soft, time to play hard and take hits.</div></div>

Marner takes plenty of hits, and throws a fair amount for a two way superstar forward.
And the only people who think toronto has lost a single playoff game recently because they are soft hasnt watched a single game with any ability to understand what is going on.
If you dont want to actually talk about the play and just get mad that the only person who liked your joke is an anti leaf troll then tell better jokes

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Andy_Dick</b></div><div>TK is amazing.
The Oilers need to do everything to get this kid in the offseason if it's even a possibility that he can be moved and the Flyers can take on cap which they have shown to be willing with Briere at the helm.

TK with Draisaitl and Nugent Hopkins then Hyman with Mcdavid and Holloway. Jesus Christ. Give the Flyers the Oilers next 2 1sts, Ceci, Broberg and Bourgault. Just give everything in the cupboard and they have multiple Cups in the bag as long as Mcdrai take somewhat of a discount in 2025 and beyond. Just dont hand out contracts like the Leafs and they are Golden!</div></div>

This guy is literally a giant troll pretending to be a leafs fan, I wouldnt take anything he says as agreement with you, he really just wants to rile up leafs fans with terrible trades while praising other teams guys that he read about having grit on hfboards
