Thread: Lines need a shake up
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MatthewsFan</b></div><div>That’s not the first time I’ve seen someone say that and it’s really concerning if both Tavares and Marner can’t elevate one another. I’m not worried about Ritchie, he can be moved around the lineup. Marner’s issues from the playoffs have seemed to trickled into the start of the season. Granted he probably gets a point last night if Igor doesn’t play out his mind and Matthews pots one. But I haven’t liked Mitch’s game to start the year. There is too much cap tied to Tavares and Marner for them not to produce. They both need to be much much better</div></div>

The good thing though, is if he can get over this hurdle (surely to God he can) maybe he starts treating every game like it's a playoff game.

I don't mind the Leafs having to win the hard way or win ugly all year if it gets them (and specifically Marner) more prepared for playoff hockey.

If 80% of games this season is a 5-1 win, and it comes pretty easy, that seems to be where they struggle to turn it up a notch when the games get real.
