Why cherry pick his last 57 games. How about all of last year and so far this year.This comment proves you have not watched Marner very much at all, and especially not in the second half of last season, the playoffs and early this season.
If Barzal is "lol" better than Marner... than Barzal is already as good as Mcdavid.
Hard to "have to" inflate a player with the below stats:
- 32 points in his final 36 games of last season (on a line with Bozak and JVR)
- 9 points in 7 playoff games (4 points more than the next leaf)
- Has 18 points in 14 games thus far this season.
- 59 points in his past 57 NHL games.
Post of the thread!Its like asking if Matt Duchene and Anze Kopitar are on the same level.
Not close imo, he got overhyped playing behind JT. As the actual 1C he has 1 goal in 14 games and is under ppg.
If you want to compare him to a Leaf player a fairer comparison would be Barzal and Kadri.
Post of the thread!
It’s always easy to spot the Leaf fans who don’t even watch players who aren’t wearing the blue and white uniforms.
Kadri.
Hint: Barzal is the guy not wearing the blue and white uniform who just became the first rookie since Malkin to score 85 points.
And I'm sure that fact will comfort you when he settles into actually trying to be a 1C and ends up with pedestrian numbers.
I'm sorry he isnt actually Malkin or McDavid, or even JT, doesnt mean he sucks, no need to turn on the kid for not fulfilling fans crazy expectations.
Oh for sure he’s comparable to Kadri!And I'm sure that fact will comfort you when he settles into actually trying to be a 1C and ends up with pedestrian numbers.

You’re lack of hockey knowledge is simply astonishing.
Do you even watch any non Leaf players?

I don't think people hate the leafs (they have some of my draft favorites over the past 4 years), I think people hate their fans and media.That's also offset by people who just like voting against the Leafs. It's not as black and white as numbers.
And Barzal's rookie season had him 1 point shy of your savior Tavares' career high... and 16 points over Marner as a rookie center.
Yes, I lol'd at your fellow Leafs fans homerism, but yours is brilliant too. Carry on.

Brazal def looked a little snake bite out there tonight. He trying to do too much,.make the perfect play... Plus his line mate in AB has been dreadful. Don't be surprised to trotz shake up that line soonBarzal had a rough night tonight....but still playing better than Matthews at the moment

talk about the kettle calling the pot black:
Me: I think Marner and Barzal are comparable in skill level
You: HAHA you homer.. brilliant carry on...Barzal is 100% better
Hilarious... how oblivious you are to your hypocrisy.
You need to take a hard look in the mirror... you clearly have a lot of pent up anger. Some deep seeded anger... bringing up Tavares and saying "your saviour", when I never even brought up Tavares?
Coo-Coo
What goal posts will you change next ? I correctly laughed at your fellow homer's comment of taking Marner over Barzal, then proceeded to laugh at your own posts. Not at his skill level.
The only real number that needs to be brought up here is Barzal having the best rookie season since Malkin, playing the most important position in the league.
But naturally, for you, mocking the collective homerism of Leafs fans in the last two pages makes me a homer... for Barzal ? But carry on, this is getting more entertaining with each of your posts and it seems from this last post of yours the discussion is making you go off the deep end. I'm not expecting more than a word salad next from how things are progressing for you.
My god man you must have your head is so far up that your eyes are even brown.Wait... so your saying that you don't disagree?
Is this how all your conversations go?:
Person: I really like my friends new BMW, it seems to have great handling.... the consumer report even said so.
You: Haha, you believe the consumer report.
Person: Have you ever driven the new BMW?
You: No, but consumer report is stupid
Thanks for your contributions
Before Tavares lets look at the talent around Matthews, .. And Barzal lets look at the talent around him.. Hmm not sure if Matthews is much better or better.. Rookie season for each having both played full seasons as rookies, Barzal out performed Matthews
That probably had nothing to do with the fact that there are probably 5x more leaf fans than NYI fans

Well maybe glasthews should play the same way. At least he'd be on the ice instead of injured reserved.Matthews is a tier above
Barzal plays like hes 5 foot 5
Cant believe hes over 6 feet
