Tavares, Matthews, Marner, Nylander.

I'd say Marner = Ernst & Young.
They are stereotyped to hire the more sociable ones in comparison to the rest. Marner seems to fit that bill.

Tavares = Deloitte
Their employees are stereotyped as nerds who are not very out going compared to the others. Tavares definitely comes across as a quieter person who's not very outgoing and would probably agree with being called a hockey nerd.

Nylander = KPMG. Easily the most criticized and made fun of, out of the big 4, even if it is just for memes. Also the smallest of the bunch overall by a long margin (Probably is different in Canada though). Is Nylander good at golf? They're stereotyped as a very pro golf firm.

Matthews = PwC. Process of elimination

Edit: how do you mark a thread OT?

The only similarity I can see is like accountants, those 4 may not be around in 15 years

 

[Morbo]

you guys have completely gone off the deep end.

 

[Gsh]

We aren't accountants and don't know what the **** you are talking about. Odd that you'd think we would.

Everyone knows the big 4 accounting firms

Which thrift store chain are the Leafs' Big 4?

Value Village?

Salvation Army Thrift?

Dollarama?

Dollar Tree?

Dollarama - Matthews
Dollar Tree - Marner

Sorry, can't finish the post. Paul Marner is hassling me to bump Marner to Dollarama.

Fun thread. I worked at 2 of them in past so kinda interesting comments on each. Have to say I would agree except swop of Matty for Willy. KPMG has 'the northern Toronto ace' who I think has more hole in 1's than anyone else I know of in the city. Won't use partners name because probably not right on here. But I saw 1 of them. Matty is such a shooter he would have to fit that bill. and Tavares for sure would work at Deloitte. A leader who takes charge and gets in done. So by default would put Willy at PwC.

Whoa. The dryness of this thread is perfect for Accountants.

 

[ChuckWoods]

This board never fails to amaze me.

 

[ITM]

Beat me to it. Although I was thinking of comparing our club’s stars to brands of paints.

This is much more exciting!

Leafs Powerplay is this years CEFE.

Which of the firms post hours but don’t actually open on time?

Whichever ones those are... that’s our Big 4.

 

[WillNy29]

I always thought there were 3?

There used to be 5
PwC
KPMG
Deloitte
EY
Arthur Andersen

Then Arthur Andersen was involved in the Enron scandal helping them bamboozle millions from investors. They were fined out of existence. A lot of their accountants got roles at the other firms.

 

[Craig Button]

As a big Harry Potter fan I got this one


nylander - slitheran

marner - huffnpuff

matthews - thrown off train for thinking he's too cool for school

tavares - gandalf

The Grey or The White?

 

[nuck]

KPMG and Ernst & Young are being investigated for money laundering in Europe. Most money driven = Matthews and Marner.

PW first in on crypto currency. Tavares first in on $11M UFA money.

Delloitte fined 4.2M for professional incompetence in 2011 and 2012. Willie playing professionally incompetent in 2018 and 2019.

Bonus

Lehman Brothers. Failed after creating the appearance they had $50B more cash than they did. Tyson Barrie failed after creating appearance he was still a 50pt defenseman

 

[ruaware41]

Haha the responses cracked me up hard. I must say, my expectations when creating this thread at 3 am (not sure why) have been greatly surpassed.

^This idea is much better.

Further, not knowing them is something odd to proclaim with pride.

 

[Walshy7]

You know an abacus is very very accurate and more precise than most calculators in simple mathematics?

simple calculations pretty much sums up babcocks game plan

 

[MeowLeafs]

I don't even really consider Nylander to be part of the "big 4" or whatever anymore.

So Nylander is more like just a small bookkeeper.

 

[saltming]

Two things to that:
1 all mathematics are based off the simple stuff
2 on the ice where the game is always changing, simple works better

Exactly only charges a bit over 1/2 as much as the big guys.
