Leafs got tired of allowing 9 goals a game so they took Nylander off the top line

Sure because Willy had zero success on the top Line and Marner was an offensive catalyst on that 2nd line right?

If Marner is just that much better than Willy shouldn’t line 2 have been on fire while he was on it?

I like both players (unlike you) but take off the Marner 3000 glasses from time to time man.

I like both.

But I also want the team to be more balanced, and happen to believe Marner is too good to let go, and Willy is too streaky to pay 11M.

Oh wow. The leagues leading scorer scored? Who could have seen that coming?

Not trying to flex them being trapped in their own end for two minutes though?Obsessive little kid cherry picking spots to push his hot take fetish narrative.

What do you think I enjoy more?

Watching Marner and Matthews dominate?

Or watching you cry?

Fairly sure you were leading the “trade Willy” chant before this season and right now one player is way more value than he makes the other one is overpaid based on performance.

I don’t want to see an 11M contract for Willy but if someone wanted to take on Marner’s contract that is an overpay how do you say no if the return give them the balance they need and they?

I’m not married to either but Marner has not earned what he has been paid for quite some time now - I don’t think that’s an unfair assessment.

Yes they need more balance but you’re using a hypothetical $ amount for Willy’s next deal to justify trading him and ignoring the current situation entirely.

Both players have been - are streaky.

Playoff Willy > Playoff Marner consistently year over year.

Pretty sure there are no Marner haters. Just people replying to the one person that takes shots at Willie whenever he can. No matter how ridiculous the take.

I agree with none of this. And that’s ok.

I suggest you look at playoff stats before making that claim.

Marner is not overpaid at all. He’s the best RW in the NHL.

Or better yet a "man was I way off on Willy. In retrospect my takes on Willy when I wanted to move him for a 4D were utterly assinine"

I don’t know if an arena that doesn’t have a Doctor & EMT behind the benches…


The ambulance is usually where that dude came out of…

When Jay Bo had his attack at Ponda - there was a doctor there inside of 5 seconds… and his ass didn’t have to come across the ice.

Listening to some Kruangbin on vinyl. Pretty good.

This strep throat can (frank) off now...a week with no alcohol over the holidays.....just makes me sad

- Fakepartofme

I spent the entire day fasting, in hopes of getting a slot for them to laser my kidney stone.

When the call never came, I waved the white flag and had one beer.

It was franking glorious.

First one all week, and may be the last.
