The most comical part of this is you don't realize you keep inadvertently proving just how useless those stats are
I guess Leafs nation just watches hockey wrong, because we all saw Pastrnak drastically outplay Marner through 2 games.
outside of pp and his goal, sorry i didn't really pastrnak trought 2 game... If you saw something different for sure we didn't watch the same game.
Marner can he do more? yeah for sure he can.
Did exemple sidney Crosby had pretty bad series? yeah in 2015-2016, he was not good at all vs Washington in 2nd where he finished the series of 6 gane with obly 2 assist and -3... but most of the time he was great and finally won the conne smythe.
Marchessault after 1st round last year only got 2 assist... He's finally won the Conne Smythe.
In toronto its like every stars need to be high all the time or we start to see stupid things like whats Simmonds did.
Maybe the rest of the series, its marner who will carry the leafs or maybe of matthews is struggling in 2nd round, maybe Marner will take the lead and carry the team.
last 3 year leafs won 1 game when 1st line didn't scored and maybe its marner would will change that narative.
