    What a dumb series. It just keeps alternating between which team is confident going into the next game. Hopefully we can buck the trend.

    Marner is a better defensive player. Plays short handed and everything. Matthews is a generational type player. He’s just got to tune up his defensive game.

    I don’t think it’s controversial to say Marner > Matthews or Matthews > Marner. Matthews a much better goal scorer, Marner better at most other things.

    and I couldn’t care less about Canadian hockey so no bias here.

    And for the record I would take Matthews over Marner

    He's a third line PKer, let's not make him out to be a Sergei Fedorov, Pavel Datsyuk, or Patrice Bergeron.

    As they should. Second best country at producing NHL talent and these kids play together all year (many for many years together) whereas in Canada they are playing for their respective CHL teams and occasionally get together for tourneys.

    Matthews is good defensively, though. The only reason people think he wasn't this year is because he was -9, because Andersen had a horrible year behind him when he was on the ice, with an 88.8% ES save percentage. Wasn't because he faced a ton of high danger chances behind him, either.

    The presence of mind for a skater who's laying flat on his back to cover the post w his leg is pretty remarkable in that situation.
