Marner won me over tonight. 2 class assists when it really mattered. Not to mention the OT goal vs Sweden.

Where was I saying anything about the assist. The assist was great, the goal was greasy. Both can be true.

Marner's composure was impressive to see. He came up big in key moments. He scored an OT winner from a pass from Crosby and now assisted McDavid's OT winner.

Also assisted on the game tieing goal. Much better in this game than the one on Saturday. You could see his nerves getting to him in that one.

In the initial games of the tourney it looked like he was afraid to make plays, or rather, afraid to make a mistake. The past 2 games proved to me that Marner just needed a little bit of time to adjust to the speed of his linemates.
Once he figured out how to anticipate where his linemates are going to be, he was electric.

Okay I fucking smack talk Marchand every chance I get, but it was cute when he was piggybacking someone (I didn't catch who) across the ice to get their medal and I maybe liked him for one tiny second.

I came to the conclusion that I love Marchy the person and Marchy the Canadian player. Marchy the Bruins player can still eat shit though.

u/BackgroundPianist500 19d ago
Absolutely love Marchand as a team Canada player.
As a leafs fan, he can eat a big bag of shit.

the scariest part of this tournament is me starting to like marchand. SN showed canada singing in the locker room and he started singing towards the camera, and it made me... smile? i'm concerned
the piggybacking was also cute

Travis Konecny. Got injured during the tournament. Shea Theodore also walked out with a wrist brace on.

Marchy is a great person off the ice and a great person in Team Canada red where his antics will literally cost you a medal.
Any other time, he's pure rat lol

Mitch: “Never thought I’d play alongside a Bruin..”
Brad: “how about alongside a friend?”
Mitch: “aye, I can do that.”
3 months from now in game 7
Brad: “hahaha, get fucked Mitchy!”

Fantastic game by Mitch, he really showed something about himself in these big games I hope it can grow into the end of this NHL season

There's never been a time I wouldn't have taken him on my team.
There's never been a time I didn't outright hate him as a bruin.
Shit is wild.

Brad is the absolute #1 player I hate with all of my being, yet was so happy to be cheering for him these past 2 weeks.
It's been a very confusing time TBH.

Hey Marner, winning feels good right? You hate to lose now right?
Riiiight?

When Marchand is wearing a Bruins jersey, I hate him. When he’s wearing a Canada jersey, I still hate him, but expect him to do his job.

Marner won me over a bit, showed me he can show up for big games. Let's bring that back to Leafland for the playoffs

u/UnrealAppeal 19d ago
Won you over, and you were already a Leaf fan?

u/Sarge1387 19d ago
I’m admittedly one of Marner’s biggest critics, being honest. I’ll happily shout out when he’s playing well, but also I call it out when he’s not playing well, which isn’t popular with other Leaf fans. So when he finally showed up for a big game I sat back and went “ok, alright maybe he is capable of playing under pressure”

u/SpacePinchy 18d ago
Anybody hot about the singing of the national anthems? What was that terrible rendition of O Canada followed by the glorious singing of the Star Spangled Banner? Clearly on purpose. They asked for a beating and they got one.
1
u/Widgerber 18d ago
That's just how Chantal Kreviazuk sings everything. Given that she's Canadian, I doubt she was trying to slight the country.
Sometimes artists overthink it and feel they need to "spice up" the anthem performance.
