No, the goal in Peterborough.

London's 2nd goal this game is Mitch's 99th point per the OHL website. However including the one in Peterborough, it would be his 100th. The puck was picked up for the 2nd goal in today's game.

Either way, he's at 100 now. Congrats Mitch

102 actually

 

[DrJenniferHanson]

Assists on London's 3rd goal should be Tkachuk-Juolevi so even if the Peterborough assist doesn't get fixed, they evened out. So should be 102 points corrections or no corrections.

B2B 100 (and counting) point seasons!

Thata boy Mitch!
See you for the rebuild.

Course they corrected this one in a hurry... Oh well.

 

[Evileye]

Your example is flawed, and kind of rediculous.

It was a waste of my time to read it.

Let's see, your argument is big plus skill always beats small plus skill.
Wow! what's next 2+1 is more than 1+1?
Glad I read your argument because I definitely learned something new.

Wish he was playing more C this year.

Catching Dvorak a little every week.

It's kind of nuts how much of a lead Dvorak had over him.

If he goes back to London next season this would probably be the only benefit; playing C for a whole season.

 

[Semantics]

Came entirely in the two extra games he's played too. 7 points in those games after most countries players had left for the WJC.

Why? His production as a center is wayyy below what he's been able to produce at wing.

I don't think he makes a more desirable center than Willie in any case and would prefer if they had a more physically robust guy in the 2nd spot. If not Matthews then then someone less flashy would be just fine. I think Marner, if he pans out, will be a guy that drives the offense on a line and as long as his center has some decent hands, the line can produce well.

I'm going to say this and it probably won't be the most popular. But it seems to be looking true for the most part.

Most, not all, but it seems most of the majority who are unsure of Marner are the older generation of posters. I hate to label, but...

Back in the day, smaller players didn't make it. Usually the bigger boys would make it, even if they were void of skill, they could still rough and tumble their way around. Or if they were smaller, they were all crash and bangers like Clark.

The small and skilled guy rarely made it, so naturally, the older generation would be weary. Times have changed and its time to get on board.

Again I hate to label, but it seems most who preferred Hanifin or another selection are older posters here.

... I can only speak for myself and am an older poster and I was ecstatic when they drafted Marner. Now we have to hope he can translate his skill to the NHL.

Really agreeing with this post/theory. I havent had the guts to write this post yet, but ill jump on this train of thought.
Instead of calling them old though, "traditional" is a better word to not offend so many bald/grey haired folks

Where is the age of posters posted? You are guessing.

I was at the last Stanley cup Parade and love Marner.

I love it when a poster has the guts to expose their own ignorance. Refreshing. Thanks.

Hmm that is a theory, but older posters would most likely be used to smaller players.
Hockey players turned into giants in the 90's.
Biliveau was a freak because he was 6'3" with skills at 200+ lbs. His size gave him a huge edge.
So, the phenomenon of big nhl players is actually quite new so maybe if you are a teenager or 20 something you wouldn't be used to smaller players.
Iirc it was the big bad Bruins and the broad street bullies that started the size growth in the nhl. They showed how to beat other teams (physically) and make them lose (very carlyle)

NHL players have gone from an average of 5-foot-9 and 172 pounds in 1920 to 5-foot-11, 180 by 1955, 6-foot and 190 in 1980 and then, finally, up to the 6-foot-1, 205 pounds hockey players have averaged the last 15 years or so.

Was going to post this exact thing. Well said and completely accurate. The poster is ignorant and not taking a look at simple facts. Anyone who watched hockey decades ago were used to an NHL filled with smaller skilled players, and small goalies were the norm.
