Playoffs of Laine/Marner

[member 147413]

Will these playoffs change the unanimous belief held by everybody. That Laine is better than Marner if these two players continue on their trajectories?

To me, and im sure everybody else, Laine has been mediocre, despite his play, Jets are scorching hot with Byfuglien, Scheifele and Wheeler leading the charge. Is this up and down fluctuation of determining who is the better player, has Marner surpassed Laine for the time being?

Marner had a bad series last year so he can't be good in the playoffs actually, sorry.

Regardless of playoff performances I'll still think Laine over Marner.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

they're honestly extremely comparable players and had extremely comparable seasons. Laine is the better goal scorer, but Marner is probably better overall

Laine >>> Marner
Laine > Matthews

A valid opinion, as is the opposite.

The impact each player having for their team this post season is certainly up for discussion.

Marner was tasked with Marleau and Plekanec to matchup against Boston’s elite line. Something that line did very well, forcing Cassidy to avoid that matchup.

Despite that Marner produced 9 points in 7 games. The same total of points Laine has through 11 games.

I was unaware Laine’s >p60 was so high. That could help sway my opinion.

Leafs fans saltiness is reaching sad levels. It's not Laines/Jets fault Matthews was bad these playoffs.

it's also not Leafs fans' fault that Marner made a case for being equal or better than Laine

 

[Breakers]

When the heck did Laine vs Marner even become a thing?

I thought the comparison was Matthews vs Laine

Matthews was very bad this post season. I was pretty pissed about his lack of production.

I think he was playing injured, but I still expected more.

Marner was phenomenal and was a nightmare for Bruins players. In my opinion his impact on the ice this playoffs was greater than Laine for the Jets. I think the stats back that up.

Laine vs Marner is a way better comparison. Both are wingers who aren't on the top line, and who have their best performances on the PP. They were separated by 1 point this year

Matthews is quite a bit ahead of both

Both are dynamic young wingers who produce very similar point totals. Both being more effective on the power play. Both are not the expected primary point producers for their teams.

Matthews and Laine are often compared, but it’s more difficult to compare players playing different positions and in different roles.

Lol come on now nobody in their right mind should be picking Marner of Laine.

Laine is a bum

Why?

I’m just trying to generate discussion.

Marner has been a better playoff performer.

Does Lebron or Laine have more rent free apartments inside Toronto fans heads?

 

[rent free]

its not fair to compare laine and matthews, laine and marner, or even matthews and marner for that matter. they all played against much different opposition.

Does Lebron or Laine have more rent free apartments inside Toronto fans heads?

Probably not.

This is such a comical, relevant, original and intelligent post.

Haha good one friend.

We all know Laine lives rent free inside your head.

The sad part is that it ain't a joke.

 

[Calad]

I'd take Laine over Marner or Matthews

 

[kylbaz]

Based on the playoffs Marner was by far the best one. Though Laine has had some good production, he has looked terrible at times. Matthews was invisible.

Meh, rent is pretty cheap in my head. Not the best accommodations, feel bad he’s gotta live there if that’s the case.
