As an oilers fan, thank you for zach, I was a leaf fan once, that goof Marner and trashy tavares ruined that for me, get rid of those two, and I’ll think of being a fan alongside the Oil
you have the headspace of leafs fans right on Steve
in field of psychology it's called learned helplessness
Before I even watch it. NO! Please God no. Not again! ENOUGH eith this. He's NOT a centre. Let him whine about it all he wants. He's TOO SELFISH! Stop talking about it!
This is so true about being a leaf fan.If Marner gets 13.5 million for doing nothing it builds up so much resentment that i almost hope the leafs falter. Thats coming from a die hard leaf fan.
Blue collar fans are Boston bruins fans!!! Come to the dark side😂😂😂😂
Don't worry. Contract yrs! Watch the contract yr. Players maybe roid up? Definitely play for their dinners.
Sometimes it’s better to tweek a team and strengthen the team than tearing it half down and starting at ground zero
From what I read it was Tre that wanted to see Willy at Centre however Keefe wasn’t that into it bc he’s tried it before and didn’t have faith in it, so the leash was minimal.
If he wanted a second look, I don’t think it be difficult to get Berube to give it a go for the preseason.
You Steve are the one that is not interesting
Hey Steve , you should move to another city
Steve is getting a little difficult to watch anymore.
sad no love for the CFL when talking pro sports in the city
It's a bunch of bandwagon jumpers on air
I find the entertainment from the Leafs during regular season is enough for me. At playoff time summer is coming on strong and there's golf and so many other things to outdoors, so not having to sit inside through the 4-6 weeks of playoffs suits me just fine. BTW Marner did not lose the playoffs for the Leafs last year, the goaltending did, oh and the defence.
Nylander has never failed at center. I don't know why people clown on this whenever it's brought up. Nylander has played extremely little center in his NHL career. When he has, it's been almost exclusively before the last few years in which he has become much much better as a player. When they went to it in the briefest of stints, it was a reaction to injury depletion of the lineup. It has NEVER been legitimately tried in a healthy lineup at C in any regular season since his 20 pre-rookie season games. Not once. Giving him a game or two here or there, or sticking him there for part of a game in no way shape or form counts as actually trying it. Nylander is absolutely capable of playing Center in this league and I think Berube would be wise to give it a long look, because if it works, it solves a ton of problems for us, both this year and going forward.
Even last preseason, Willy only played 1 or 2 games in the preseason at center at most and they were a dogs breakfast of a lineup, so how does one conclude anything from that? It seems to me they put him back to wing because he excels there and were never really committed the idea of trying him at C. I'd go as far as to say, it probably wasn't Keefe's idea and he bailed on it as quickly as he possibly could.
Stolarz will surprise you, 4th addition to roster
If they should try anyone at Center, it should be Marner.
Leaf fans are done with Marner. Done with his contract. Done with his dad and agent..He can walk. We don't care. Just take your drama and bad playoff performances and get out!
Chicago gets: Robertson, Timmins, Liljigren, Kampf = $7.4M AAV
Leafs get Seth Jones (Chicago eats 2M AAV for four more years) = $7.5M AAV
They would be getting younger and deeper with a scoring prospect. Two offensive dmen that have both shown flashes of scoring and a Quality PK fourth line center.
We get a bonified top two dman that use to play a hell of a lot better on a better team.
Lines:
Knies – Matthews – Marner
Patceretti – Domi – Nylander
McMann – Tavares – Jarnkrok
Dewer – Holmberg – Reavo
Cowan, Minten
Rielly – Tanev
McAbe – Jones
OEL – Benoit
Hakenpa/Webber/Niemela
Have you ever heard the definition of insanity?
Leafs: "We've got a little trick up our sleeves this year."
Fans: "It’s not planning to put Nylander at center again, like you do at the start of every season, is it?"
Leafs: "… umm… no…"
Think it's cause Tavares contract is almost up. That has been our biggest anchor
Can we use Marner’s money to sign Ekblad and/or Provorov?
He gave up in the playoffs so we as the public don't care so trade or send him to the minors
Why can't you talk about Marner at Centre? He is such the logical person to put there.
If the Leafs bring Marner back for any amount of money after this season, Leafs fans need to send a message by not buying tickets or merch. Send a message that mediocrity is unacceptable for a team that hasn't won a Cup in almost 60 years and hasn't made a conference final in over 20. Not doing that means all this talk is all bark, no bite.
