Never thought I'd say this but I think Domi is a better winger for Matthews. He's a better retriever, more explosive and moves the puck quicker once he gets it. Meanwhile Marner likes to carry it in circles around the o-zone looking for a layup pass. The way Domi plays gets Bertuzzi more engaged. Everyone touches the puck more. That's not even starting on the added toughness. One game and I already miss that line.
Marner makes everyone think about the fancy play.
It works for 90% of crap teams, but he gets shutdown by good teams.
Domi makes a quick pass to Matthews or Bert with basics, TIC TAC TOE GOAL.
Marner likes to skate sideways, crossover, crosby edge circles into a stutter step and then quickly pass it at an angle suddenly... Playoffs means he gets shoved by someone 6'4 before he passes.
Oh and Domi fights guys who are 6'4 fearlessly... Marner does not.
Matthews needs some protection despite being 6'4 himself.
Lets see how we do vs Bruins this time...
But its a no sign for Marner, we need to upgrade on the blueline and maybe look for a goalie with 13 Million.
Sure we can get One of Domi and Bert as well along ewith the upgrades.
