And?

Doesn't mean they don't bend them too 

They bend and break. I just didn’t want to give them credit the way I did Tampa lol

Toronto lacks defense & goaltending.  2 key aspects for playoff advancement.

 

And their top guys vanish in the playoffs.

Matthews and Marner have taken a ton of flak for that series against the Habs.

As well they should.  You have to wonder if they'll ever get it right.

I would gladly take Marner from The Great Satan.

That other guy ?? ... not so much.

I felt the same way. I really like Marner. But seeing him completely and totally disappear in a playoff atmosphere … I’m having second thoughts. I mean he was painfully invisible. And at that cap hit, I want him to be very visible. Especially come playoff time. One can hope it was an anomaly and not his norm going forward.

I share your fear of the playoff disappearing act, but attribute it to coaching and whatever.  The big guys in Toronto, including JT, have not shown up properly prepared, or whatever, for the playoff ever.

Actually, the only play I can remember from Marner was a needless delay of game penalty.

At least the Bills training camp starts soon. No more hockey to watch after tonight. And the Yankees aren't entertaining this season either. Just watching to see when Aaron Buffoon gets canned.

Some players disappear, or become just average, in the playoffs.  The pressure and the level of intensity are way different than the regular season.  It’s been that way forever.  
 

Habs score.    Take their  first lead.

I should love the Canadiens as my paternal family is from there. I really don’t though. Love the city and the people (spent many days there in my youth), hate the team. 
 

I also hate Tampa but I love hockey so I’m glued.

F them both though.
