54 games.

Not exactly a small sample size.

- Atomic Wedgie




If you’re trying to state how well Mitch does without 34 - an honest stat line would show career without 34.

All good though man. No need to continue. I will not agree.

I'd bet 3 McDoubles that Marner plays with the Toronto Maple Leafs this season. My Kool Aid dream - which feels very real - is that Berube will have not only Marner but the team playing on another level. This is a turning point coaching change as Berube had in St. Louis and there are many other examples of a team breaking through after a change in coach. This is one of those teams.
- Zezel

All I’m saying is that Berube is going to demand a (frank) ton from his 11.5M winger..

Said winger better be able to take the heat!

Ahh ok. I don’t have and never had social media. This site is the only thing I type on. I think I’ve sent a couple emails over my lifetime but in all seriousness I’m not into that stuff. Not a computer video gamer type of fellow. I use wife’s computer to check out Sportsnet and TSN though

That Marner is a good player. Your over the top comments, and number of comments annoy a lot of posters on hear and you appear to take great pride in it. You cannot go a month being normal. If it is quiet in here you post something like the


Mitch! Mitch! Mitch! Mitch! etc

No reason to do that but to be annoying as (frank) and get the attention you crave.

- jribout

Why would I care if people agree with me on Marner?

I can have a conversation with anyone.

Y’know, I don’t tie my happiness to what other people think about me. People can love, hate, or have no opinion of me at all.

I just love all the Toronto Maple Leafs the same, and I want them to win the Stanley Cup! Go Leafs Go!

This is the stuff that engages people man! Nobody mentioned Willy. This is what dragged me into it and I couldn’t remember the last time prior to this I engaged you on Willy/Marner. Crap man.

Said winger has taken the heat for years and improved consistently over those years. If anything he will shrug his shoulders and ignore Berube because he just does not care what others think of him.

I hope Mitch reverts back to the hard worker he was playing under Babcock, and does not crumble like he does in the playoffs. My bet is on the former.

He already brings the heat high and hard and melts your face off.

Marner is the first back-to-back 1st team all-star on the Leafs since Tim Horton did it in 1967-68 and 1968-69.

Seriously, why do Leafs fans have to be like this?

- Atomic Wedgie

Because the group of them together do not (frank)ing WIN.

You guys are obsessed with this.

You’re not going to uncover the lost city of El Dorado running numbers.

Both are very good offensive players (Mitch is better tho)
Only Mitch is a very good defensive player

- Horsey Sauce

None of this matters. As a group, together, they DO NOT WIN.

We’ll see what happens when Tavares is gone.

If we have to move Willy after that then so be it.

So over mitches entire career - he has only NOT played with Matthews for 50 something games?

How does Getting rid of Marner make this team better?

You were not trading him for a Chris Pronger.

You were not using his cap space to sign a Chris Pronger.

So what, trade one of the best Leafs in 50 years, don’t get fair value in return, just to shake things up?

That’s not a recipe for success.

What a (frank)ing waste of a generational talent. And yeah, I'm talking about Matthews, AA.
