sickening skills. He's gonna be a beauty...Dvorok is a great prospect in his own right but imo Marner makes the Knights go...

I was just going to say...look for the people to give Dvorak praise for the pass cause you know..........without Dvorak there is no Marner BAHAHA

Uh... no

 

[Cor]

12 points in 4 games.

Guess his "slump" is over.

 

[The Beyonder]

Uh... no

Can't argue with your logic there.


But in all seriousness, the knights are still a good team without Marner, they're too deep, but they're a great team with him. There is no doubt he is their biggest game breaker and he obviously showed it in that highlight and shows it gamely.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

That goal was a thing of beauty. Unbelievable.

 

[Atomos2]

Uh... no

Uh...yeah. I'd say so.

 

[me2]

File that goal under omg

 

[1Gold Standard]

pure art.

Makes ESPN and has Snoop rocking his jersey around NBA All Star weekend, I'd say he's having a pretty good two days.

It's kind of like Domi last season. Domi was their best player but it's not like London was nothing without him.

Well, there was a good reason Marner was compared to Kane last year. Kid got moves. Love him, really hope he succeeds in the NHL.

Mitch Marner scores highlight reel goal

I thought this was too incredible not to share with the main boards

 

[Tatar Shots]

Love the control with the skate; very Datsyuk like. Kid has been making a joke out of the OHL all year. I don't see how the Leafs could possibly leave him in London next year.

Somewhat OT, but I find Datsyuk is one of those guys who you appreciate so much more when you see him live. I saw him two years ago in Florida against the Panthers, and I've never seen anybody track a puck carrier better than him. He'd back a defenseman puck carrier up almost into a corner and they'd make mistakes

 

[AKL]

Yeah you can definitely tell that's a minor league defense.

 

[Temego]

Im not familiar with all these Canadian junior leagues, but arent the players like 15yr olds or something?

 

[1Gold Standard]

Absholutely Fantashtic. in my best Sean Connery voice.

 

[stewpac]

Uh... no

Do you watch knight games? Uh....no. I do and I can tell you Marner has been the engine of that team all year. Hate the leafs if you want but Mitch hasn't played a game for them yet and you don't watch him so why make comments?

Most are 16-18.

 

[Blender]

It's a great OHL goal, but it's clearly a minor league defense and he'd get run over trying to pull that in the NHL. Not a single one of those Niagara players attack the puck carrier, they just try and poke at the puck and follow it while he dangles through them.

Great stick handling from Marner though, there is no doubt he has a ton of talent.

The average age of an OHL team would be roughly around 18.5 years old. in fact that would be the average age of the Niagara Ice dogs. give or take .5 years depending on who played last night. didn't check the roster. The majority of the team would be Mitch Marner's age.

 

[HarrisonFord]

Most are 16-18.

The defenseman is 19 year old STL Blues 2nd round draft pick Vince Dunn and the goaltender is 19 year old Carolina Hurricanes 2nd round draft pick Alex Nedeljkovic, but sure

 

[TheFinnishTrap]

Really nice goal, but not really GOTY material.

 

[hawksrule]

Let us know when he plays well against good competition, as opposed to when he sucked in the WJC.
