Everyone rags on Marner and rightfully so, but how this dude (who is set to become the league’s highest paid player) escapes the criticism is beyond me. Beyond his hat trick games, he has been atrocious for the entire season. Pointless in 9/19 games is beyond disgraceful, given his role with the team and his salary.

It’s time to trade him to the Oilers for Jack Campbell.
Or is that the take home from a post like this?
In all seriousness, humans don’t understand statistics. Noted.

He has been completely boom or bust this season. He has 9 Games with 0 Points / 3 Games with 1 Assist and then 7 Games Multi-Point games scoring at least a goal in each.
He has been extra bad on the road having just 3 G & 5 A in 10 GP compared to 11 G & 2 A in 9 GP @ Home.

The best thing that can happen to Matthews is Marner moving away from his line. They just don’t work. Put fucking Ryan Reaves up there. Ya baby

He saves his best vanishing acts for the spring.

So? Can’t wait until the playoffs so the team can prove itself. Regular season is just a circus.

Ahhh nothing like waking up on a Sunday to a Matthews hate thread. And when him and marner start lighting it up again you’ll be praising them, so predictable

So he’s been fantastic and inconsistent this season.

He’s an elite goal scorer and good defensively.
He’s not a playmaker and he doesn’t make those around him better
He is what he is which is an MVP level Player due to his goal scoring.

Goal scorers which is what AM34 is, are mostly streaky. I’d like to see more consistency with his scoring but his linemates have both been under performing. Knies? Love him but he isn’t a top line winger yet. Marner has been invisible most of the time.

He’s inconsistent, you cannot deny

OP you’re clearly a complete fucking idiot to come in here and try and talk shit about arguably the greatest Toronto Maple Leaf of all time. It’s Sunday. Go spend time out in nature or with your family if they haven’t already disowned you.

Auston hasn’t been perfect by any means but in games I’ve watched where he doesn’t score he’s still dangerous and finding good opportunities (often on his own a la that gross move in OT Friday).
It’s just seemed like the biggest problem is he’s not being set up for the opportunities like he usually is. Mitch isn’t playing well enough to get him those extra chances.
Pretty much every game, even when Auston isn’t “on” he is finding ways to make himself noticable in positive ways. I just haven’t felt that from the rest of his line (with obvious slack given to the rookie out there playing against every shutdown line out there).

imagine Nylander wasnt having the season hes having, how much more glaring the problems would be to everyone

So we’re just not gonna talk about Josh Giddey?

The Leafs, as a team, are pointless.

He got his money. He’s a happy camper. Locked in no matter how he performs. General move by any player in any league. Get the money and chill.
