Mitch Marner - 2015 4th overall

[Heroic Shrimp]

Does the roster change for tonight's game against the Czechs?

I believe there are 40 players in the Canadian camp, and since there are 4 games in 4 consecutive days, I assume 20 guys play game 1 and 3, and the other 20 play games 2 and 4.

Thank you sir.

You're welcome, though I was somewhat wrong.  Marner didn't play last night as I expected, but will play game 4 tonight.  Travis Dermott played both games 1 and 3, so I don't know exactly how they're splitting the squad game to game.

Dermott scored the gtg to make it 2-2, jumped in from the point and banged it in at the net.

This is an evaluation camp, right? Maybe they're front-loading games for bubble players and going with their top picks for the 4th game to get a preview of the real team.

I didn't really hear anything about last night's final exhibition game, but Marner picked up another couple assists to give him 3 assists in the 2 games played.

Anyone have an opinion on how Ho-Sang was looking?  There was the associated fanfare on tsn.ca before the games...I was just curious to hear about how he played.

So with all the stuff going down with Patrick Kane, can we all stop comparing Marner to him.

I was thinking the same thing.

None of the comparisons say anything about off-ice conduct, and I think most people are smart enough to make that distinction. If he's like Kane on the ice, then he's like Kane on the ice.

Yep we don't want to tar our boy with the reference of the Kane name.  Looks like this may end freeing up a lot of cap space on the Hawks.

Well depending on what comes out of this investigation, I hope he is nothing like Kane off the ice.

Even without this investigation, I hope he's not much like Kane off the ice. It's not like Kane had a sterling reputation before this.

I understand that no means no and practiced that in my younger life.  I do feel a bit for Kane on this one as the lady in question did go home with him at 4am from a bar.  Still no means no is the key.
Rape is a crime of violence (of extreme violence) and cannot be condoned no matter what the circumstance.
What I don't understand with his bankroll, is he could afford the top escort services in the world, so what the frikk is he doing?  Just doesnt make sense at all.
How long are the Hawks going to stand behind him on this one and of course if he is charged and convicted it releases them from their commitment to him.

So this should really go in the Kane thread.  My whole point of posting in this thread was to differentiate Marner from Kane.

Thanks, Heroic Shrimp!

Marner looks very strong on his skates, quick and soft with his hands, and always involved with the play.
