Why didn’t Marner get off the ice in the last minute when he had more than enough time?

Why is Marner playing more like Nash than a 10m guy?

Robertson in for Thornton pls

Marners problem is that he tends to over-think in the playoffs, and you can't be pulling that shit when you have guys such as Weber coming at you. If Mitch can learn to play based on instinct, he'll be much better in the playoffs, its not for a lack of effort however.

I’m thinking he’s probably putting too much pressure on himself, but it should come. I find it hard to drill him for his play when he’s contributed so much and has been such a big part of this team.
 
There’s this weird myth (repeated as nauseam by some GMs, coaches, players, journos) that playoff hockey features a disproportionate amount of “dirty, greasy goals” so I think Bergevin feels Edmundson is due to launch a blast that hits two shins and a helmet before finding the back of the net.

In retrospect I'm a dummy for picking PIT to come out of the East. Oops. Got hoodwinked by the hot streak at the end there. It was always going to be a close series and if NYI wins its not an upset.

One legit horrible team made the playoffs - St.Louis. They only made it in because ARZ LA ANA SJS are always horrible too. They got whipped as expected.

WPG is also pretty bad but the difference is a) they have the best goalie in the world and b) the Oilers were also a below average playoffs team coming in. That still doesn't explain a SWEEP but the upset was not a huge one.

The biggest boner in the first round is Florida likely sabotaging themselves with moronic goalie decisions based on contract and "experience" and "starting goalie" label. Absolutely moronic and probably ruined their chances of beating a damn good team fairly and squarely. FLA was better than TB in the regular season and even with the return of kucherov have outplayed the Bolts in this series. They still have time to pull it out but TB knows how to close.


The Habs are not an awful team, though they're not very good either. The Leafs are making them look awful so far, though. Knock on wood fingers crossed don't let the leafs curse rise again but the Leafs are doing it right so far.

So far the news is as good as possible.

Laughing and joking with his teammates on FaceTime is the post-game, now back at the rink.

Worst case scenario has obviously been avoided - he's not at home with the shades drawn with headaches.

And by the looks of it he may not be experiencing any symptoms at all.


The big test is when he starts trying physical activity again, of course.
