I know this doesn't include the two shots he blocked against Boston once upon a time, but it's still concerning.

Remember when he was drawing comparisons to Gilmour? Gonna have to really step up his playoff performances to reach that height.
That was the last playoff game he had any kind of impact.
It's unfortunate, but Marner is more of a Gaudreau than a Kane. Still a great regular season player, but not someone I want to be one of my team's best players when the games matter, and not someone I want making over 10.5 million a year
...so about Marner....Typical leaf fans. You guys always hype the players up to the moon making them think they are the best thing single sliced bread and then want to be compensated accordingly. Then when reality kicks in you all hate on a player and set too much pressure on him.
Especially everyone who compared Matthews to McDavid because of "even strength goals/60," God you guys are exactly what's wrong with this fanbase. The rest of the league has a consensus number 1 and then you have leaf fans comparing their superstar with McDavid. How can you expect a player to develop normally under these ludicrous circumstances? The only thing worse than this team's effort for years in a row is the fanbase
He and Matthews seemed to have switched roles. Need both of them going at the same timePlayoff points since 2015-16:
Marner 17
Rielly 15
Matthews 13
Nylander 11
Hyman 9
Bozak 8
Marner has more points, higher +/-, less time on ice, higher ppg, the most pp points and is tied for most EVP.
This thread is awful but not surprising considering who started it.
Agree to some extend but Marner didn’t play well last night. Let’s all hope he can bounce back but that’s something we have been saying all season.Playoff points since 2015-16:

And, people so conveniently forget that the Bruins decided to put the Bergeron line on the Marner/Tavares line last year while Matthews had the luxury of not facing them very often. There’s a reason the Bruins made that decision.Playoff points since 2015-16:

He's lauded for scoring 5 goals in the series and driving the play with Hyman on 1 legI should have added that to my post, well said.
Matthews is lauded for getting 2 more points then marner last year but they conveniently forget that marner was playing against Boston's top unit which is probably the best line in hockey.
Exactly. lolHe's lauded for scoring 5 goals in the series and driving the play with Hyman on 1 leg
Because Matthews had Kapanen and Johnsson as wingers instead of Nylander/Marner, and still put up 5?And, people so conveniently forget that the Bruins decided to put the Bergeron line on the Marner/Tavares line last year while Matthews had the luxury of not facing them very often.

Matthews has not won a playoff series going back to before he even made the NHL. His swiss team was eliminated in the 1st round. Then he joins the leafs and has lost another 3 series in the 1st round.
At least marner has won championships and MVP's for being his teams best player.
If there is anyone with playoff struggles, its auston.
Also, where's the advanced stats crowd hiding out at?
Marner had an awesome game, according to the stats.
Why are they not defending marner after last nights game?

I expect that to be our most dangerous when Nylander was off like last year. Doesn't change the fact that Marner didn't have a good seriesI wonder how many goals auston wouldve had if the bruins played the Bergeron line against Matthews.
Isnt it interesting that the Bruins played their top line against marner and JT, instead of AM? It's almost like they knew which line was our most dangerous
