It's not even close. Willy for the win.

Willy will be a unanimous 1st ballot HHHOFer.

It’s definitely shrunk since he started dressing like a the BeeGees. He’s not even that handsome anymore.

I have no quarrels with Willy, even though he has flaws in his game, just his cult followers. Don’t forget that they RUTHLESSLY attacked Marner, his FAMILY, his agent all summer long because he wanted the money he deserves. They were jealous that Mitch got paid more. Then all season long they attacked Rielly, Freddy, and Mitch.. calling for them to be traded, said they have to worst contracts in the NHL etc.

He's got just as many "cult followers" as he does complete haters.

Marner got destroyed because he asked for, and got, millions more than he should've. Not because he got more than Nylander. Everyone knew and accepted that he'd get more than Nylander. Also because his agent negotiated the entire thing through the media thanks to that muppet Dreger (Nylander's didn't). And both Marner's and Nylander's dads got attacked.

Finally a post made of pure truth.

Nylander's side in retrospect kept everything under wraps.

I thought Marner got paid too much at that time, but when the news came out about Babcock, I thought Marner was right to ask for more money.
- PatC80

Since it appears to be the case, they should've just fired Babcock before the season (if they were gonna do it anyways), then they could've gotten Marner closer to what he should've gotten.

Just did a beer run.

The guy in front of me was buying two cans.

Whats even the point? He's just gonna be back in line in half an hour.

I always wonder what those people are thinking lol.

Like ffs, at least get a 6 pack so you don't have to go there as often.


Even a 6 pack is weaksauce.

I'm bored of talking about cap hits. If Dubas starts overpaying aging 4th liners like Lou, then that's aproblem

True. I think they wanted to fire Babcock in the offseason, but for whatever reason, game 5 against Boston, I guess, they kept him.

Yeah, all things considered, things could've been much worse in hindsight. Could've gone like how Marner's did. Getting that twice would've been agonising for us fans.

Apparently Tanenbaum really loved Babcock. Which is ironic because firing the coach got the Raps the title the next month.

Babcock was so bad. Such an outdated coach. Not sure he'll ever coach again.

Babcock had to have just talked with Dubas daily and did the opposite of everything.

Nurse was the coach the entire season?

Mitch is a 90+ pts player (likely to reach 100+) who plays at all 3 ends of the rink.

We are so so so lucky to have him, he’s arguably our best player. It annoys NylanDERPS to no end that he’s 10x better than Willy.

Nurse was coach the entire championship season, yes

Nope. He got fair market value.

And they attacked him mercilessly all summer long, before he got his contract. Don’t be silly, he doesn’t have the cult following that Nylander does. Millions of 14yr old girls don’t tweet about Marner nonstop.

When you look as good as Willy girls will love you.

And again, marner was attacked for backlash against what his side was doing.

The flaw I see a lot is people saying Marner is overpaid and comparing his cap to the other RFGAs who SIGNED FOR 2-3 YEARS!!
A guy like Laine will ask for the moon within a year. More than Mitch makes.

Sorry, I worded my post wrong. I should added ", though" at the end. I know he was the coach the entire season.

The part I bolded on yours looked like you said he came in at the end of the season and won them the Championship.

Marner was attacked because people got tired of his side leaking crap to the media. Marner's agent also knocking Matthews' deal was really stupid. Mitch has had terrible representation.
- RogerRoeper

It was manufactured outrage.

He deserves every penny he got.

Face it, NylanDERPS will do anything to pump up Willy, including trying to say he’s better than Mitch. So when Mitch got paid (what he deserved) they went off the rails.

Why did they bïtch all season long about Freddy, Mitch, and Rielly? Why did they slander Mitch’s family? Darren Dreger even felt the wrath of the cult.

Mitch did absolutely nothing wrong, and was attacked constantly by 14yr old girls who felt slighted.

I worded it poorly. I mean after Babcock was confirmed returning.

He's probably broke.

Broke and getting two beers.

He has his priorities in check!
