If Mikko Rantanen signs the deal best for him, instead of team friendly deal that signs away three years of UFA on the cheap, I'm not going to hold it against him, just because that would be in the Avs best interests for him to take one for the team. You can hold it against Marner if he does that, but I think that's pretty silly. I don't turn on the players on my team for wanting to get paid and not hating money. MacKinnon didn't want to get paid, and he hates money, and I appreciate his sacrifice, but if he had been smarter, I wouldn't hate him for it. Edited July 20, 2019 by Yzermandius19

If Marner holds out during the season, that's not being smart, at that point, you'd have a point, until then, cut Marner some slack. The media is making this out to be a way bigger deal than it actually is that he hasn't signed already, because that's what the Toronto Hockey Media does, don't fall for the trap.

Why should I cut him slack? He choked in the playoffs and now he's trying to jam Dubeezus up, f*ck Paul Marner.

He choked in the playoffs sure, but the year before, he ripped it in the playoffs, even Crosby chokes in the playoffs sometimes. Does Crosby suck now because the Pens got swept and he had 1 point in four games? Choking in one playoff year shouldn't cause you turn on a guy who is as good as Marner is, if it becomes a trend, okay start hating, until then, that's jumping the gun. Stamkos and Point choked this year in the playoffs and got swept, that doesn't mean they suck and Tampa should turn on them. Cut him some slack. Edited July 20, 2019 by Yzermandius19

You are slitting your own throats with these reactions, this is why the Leafs haven't had a contender for 50 years, any time they got close to having a contender they trade all their young starts and overpaid aging veterans because the fan base gets impatient, applying the same strategy once you get a contender would simply mean Harold Ballard Syndrome has gotten even worse and it going away was just an illusion. Tim Leiweke Knows, that's why they ran him out of town, impatience. Leafs still have Harold Ballard Syndrome, you turning on Marner is the proof. Leafs fans don't deserve nice things, they look for scapegoats to excuse their own incompetence derailing the team over and over again, they will never learn if even smart Leafs fans like you fall for the trap, the team is f*cking doomed.

Don't need Marner to win the cup, he'll be slitting his own throat, just on loss of endorsements, it's not my problem, big Blue and White Machine rolls on without him, it's not the Toronto Marner's, and it's not like there will be no compensation, with Kyle Dubas making the picks, I'm quite bullish on four first rounders, Mitch Lindros can go f*ck himself.

Harold Ballard Syndrome lives. Even when the Leafs get good, impatience of the fan base whipped up by the clickbait media will derail it, every single time, without fail. You need to lose before you learn how to win, but Leafs fans won't put up with that and form a mob to break it up before they can learn. Overpay UFA's well into their thirties and run the young stars out of town, like clockwork. Leiweke warned you about this on his way out the door, way to learn nothing Dougie. Leafs fans get way too emotional, the media weaponizes it, and the team falls apart. Edited July 20, 2019 by Yzermandius19

The WIngs really only choked once, against the underdog Sharks in 1993-94. In 1993, they lost a hard fought 7 game series to Toronto. In 1995, they made it to the Stanley Cup Final, and in 1996, they fell to a powerhouse Avalanche team, and began the NHL's best rivalry of the last 20 years.

This is why Leafs fans can't have nice things. I agree. The Lightning should get rid of coach Cooper, but that is as far as it should go. The window period for the Lightning winning the cup again is closing, as Stevie Y is the main reason they have done so well in the last few years, and he went back to Detroit.

Nah top 3 players in NHL are worth four first rounders if your team isn't a complete dumpster fire. Trying to pretend there is no one who is worth four late first rounders is just silly.
Yzermandius19 Posted July 20, 2019 Report Posted July 20, 2019 (edited) Edmonton is so garbage McDavid can't make a difference, on any contender though, he'd make a huge difference, don't be naive. Just because he's not good enough to pull Ottawa out of their tail spin all by himself, doesn't mean half the NHL wouldn't be wise to give up four first rounders to get him.
