Quite an entrance here by Don Cherry on May 31, 2009 before Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final between the #RedWings and #Penguins.

Here’s the thing about Toronto: If the Maple Leafs had bowed out of the playoffs playing as badly as the Canadiens did in their last three games, the Leafs would be hearing it til October. The Habs? They were just out of gas and beaten by a better team.

[Dwayne Bennett @DwayneNHL]

The Mitch Marner revisionist history is wild. But here's my assessment of why it failed in TO and why he's found success elsewhere.

The standard "he’s soft / can't win" rhetoric never made logical sense. Toronto's failure wasn't a talent issue...it was a structural failure of roster construction, deployment, and asset management.

Here is the truth bomb:

1. Matchups & The Kessel Parallel - In Toronto, Marner faced top-pair D and shutdown lines every night. In Vegas, he’s playing behind Eichel and Stone. Because opponents have to hard-match Eichel’s line, Marner gets 2nd-pair matchups and feeds on them. It’s the exact same reason Phil Kessel feasted in Pittsburgh after years of carrying the load in TO.

2. Flawed Cap Construction - The #Leafs were built incorrectly. Too much money up front, not enough on the blue line or in net. When a roster is that top-heavy, those elite forwards have to be superhuman to mask the depth issues. When the tight playoff whistle blows and they score like normal stars, the lack of depth exposes the whole team.

3. Coaching & Management- Matthews and Marner were never split up under Keefe or Berube. Only Babcock did it, but he did it when they were 19 and 20. If they had that structural discipline when the core was 24-25, the results likely look entirely different.

Combine that with management trading away SEVEN 1st-round picks and FIVE 2nd-round picks during the Matthews/Marner era, and they completely starved the pipeline of the cheap ELC depth needed to survive a top-heavy cap.

Vegas didn't need Marner to be a savior, they just needed him to be an elite piece of an already championship-caliber puzzle. It’s about usage and deployment.

Vegas did it correctly. Toronto didn't.

This is why Tony Hinchcliffe is the goat of the roast game.
Gives a comic extra time, lets him drop dark paranoid jokes + a brutal 9/11 haircut roast... crowd loses it, panel dies laughing.
Kevin Hart was right; this is real comedy. Not for the sensitive.
Bluesky stay mad, the room loved it.
