Transcript of Are Team Canada fans being too hard on Mitch Marner? #SDP #4Nations #nhl #leafs #hockey

Mitch Marner. I think people are being too hard on him, and this is me. Man, where's he been? Where have you been? Scored the OT winner in the first game. They've only played three. The McDavid-Reinhardt-Marner line in the game against the States was not good. I just didn't feel like it had a purpose. But from the moment the tournament began, I said Marner should be with Cirelli and someone else. Mcdavid doesn't play with a facilitator. Dreisidal is absolutely a facilitator But he's Leon dry-sideal. Yeah. More often than not, Connor to Leon. And grunt. There's no grunt there. Marner's not a grunt. Reinhardt's not a grunt. So what are we doing? I never like that mix of guys. Marner with Sarely and Hagle. Again, you want more offense out of Marner. You want more offense out of everyone. Not everyone's going to score a thousand goals. Marner is a defensively responsible players. He wins stick battles. He doesn't throw the body around. He started to a little bit, but he wins at more of the dirty stuff than he gets credit for, and he doesn't get the credit because he's not crashing and banging around.
