And that is where stats and some advance stats can lead to people evaluating players wrongly. No matter that PPG there is no way they can say Marner is pkating good hockey. He looks lost out there and is having trouble with easy play. Pucks rolling on him, trippung over the blue line, his OHL passes not working. You look at Matthews and he has taken his game to a whole new level. Playing with an edge, playing 200 feet and being a threat each time on the iceMatthews 1.17 ppg = "should be in Hart conversation"
Marner 1.16 ppg = "guy is missing in action"
How odd
No, no argument, just trying to figure out how the f*ck it went in.
Matthews 1.17 ppg = "should be in Hart conversation"
Marner 1.16 ppg = "guy is missing in action"
How odd

Marner just seems lost this year maybe the contract is weighing him down and all the fans hating on him and his Dad negociations could be affecting his play. Seems like a guy that cares what fans and media say.
I'm waiting for you to tell me that assists are the same as goals now or Marner could play centre if he wants to...
Wayne Gretzky, Ron Francis and Mark Messier all say hiI'm waiting for you to tell me that assists are the same as goals now or Marner could play centre if he wants to...
Believe it or not Hyman is what made both of those scenarios. Take Hyman off Matthews and Marner line put him with Taveres & Nylander the tune will be very different.Hmmmm, let's see.........
Last year JT plays with Marner and scores an important career high 47 goals
This year Matthews plays with Marner and scores an important career high TBD goals
Sure it's just a coincidence because Marner is MIA, and anyway, he's just a passing winger, so no real value.
This can be an odd place at timesMatthews 1.17 ppg = "should be in Hart conversation"

And these numbers don't tell the whole story...folks watching the games would tell you he's getting carried by Matthews goal scoring prowess if they were being honest...if Marner was up to snuff, he would have more goals, Matthews would have more assists, the team would have more wins, and both players would have higher PPG...go watch McDavid and Draisaitl.
Hahahaha. Nope. The education I received from some fine posters on here told me repeatedly that points/game is meaningless, only total points. And a lot of the same fine folks told me in those Nylander threads that in no world are 20 goal scorers ever worth $7 million.Adam Oates 25G 90A 115Pts 61 GP 1.88PPG
Brett Hull 86G 45A 131Pts 78GP 1.67PPG
Matty 1.17PPG 66GP
Mitch 1.16PPG 55GP
is this how you play this game?
Gawd, don't give MLSE any more ideas for goal songs lolHe’s only got 5 or so so there aren’t many to choose from!
I love his face after he scored that goal though. Such a happy response
It always amazes me when people judge players solely on points.Matthews 1.17 ppg = "should be in Hart conversation"
Marner 1.16 ppg = "guy is missing in action"
How odd
well, it's points per game now that it paints Marner in a favourable light. Last year it was just points when Matthews had fewer games playedIt always amazes me when people judge players solely on points.

Not just Nucks fans, I remember how the majority of HFers on the main board late last season were already declaring Elias P to be a better franchise player than Matthews was. I dont remember Boeser getting as much hype thou.They've both been deemed better than Matthews by canuck fans actually
when you lose say little.
when you win say nothing.
