who is better at defense - marner or matthews?
Matthews, but you have to understand he's Mr goddamn Perfect and the second best player in the world atm. Marner is also quite good at defense (and they're both good in fairly similar ways -- great at takeaways/retrievals especially) and gets a lot more PK time than Matthews, which means his usage is often geared towards that.

Matt Murdock Boyfriend Headcanons: Matt meets the Avengers.
A/N: Pietro is alive, just like in the movies, however instead of being on a very long vacation after all the shit that went down with Ultron he decided to join the team. Also you work at a bakery because reasons. Word Count: 1393
The first Avenger he ends up meeting is Clint. 
The two are you are in your apartment making out on your couch after coming back from a wonderful date when Matt suddenly pulls away and tells you he can smell blood.
5 minutes later, after you both have double checked all your injuries to make sure that it isn’t coming from either of you Clint barges in; clutching his left side tightly and muttering an apology.
 “Sorry about this Y/N but your place was closer then the tower.” 
You quickly rush over to Clint’s side to help him make his way to the couch, giving the pair a quick introduction before telling Matt to grab your first aid kit. 
“Matt this is Clint Barton aka Hawkeye. Clint this is Matt Murdock my boyfriend.” 
“Nice to meet you.” “
“You too, wish we’d meet when I wasn’t bleeding out though. Like at a bar or something.”
While your stitching him up Clint suddenly realises how awkward a situation he’s in.
“I interrupted your date didn’t I.” 
“No.” 
“Yes.”
“MATT!”
When Clint thinks you’re out of earshot while your getting him a blanket and pillow so he can spend the night on your couch he gives Matt the typical protective big brother talk (the first of many).
“You hurt Y/N and I’ll put an arrow through your dick.”
When Matt meets Sam and Steve it’s once again by accident and he begins to wonder if this is how he will meet the other Avengers (it is).
Matt and Foggy had been settling a case in the court house near where you worked so the three of you had made plans to meet up for lunch.
You end up sat at a little cafe in one of the outside tables. Just as the three of you are about to order who comes running up but Sam and Steve. 
“Hey Y/N. Fancy seeing you here.”
“I could say the same for you two, what are you doing in Hell’s Kitchen?”
“Wanda and Pietro come back tonight so we though we’d surprise them with a taste of home. Best place for authentic Sokovian cuisine is apparently in Hell’s Kitchen.”
It’s at that point that you remember that you are not alone and begin to introduce everyone.
“Guys this is Matt my boyfriend and his best friend Foggy. Matt, Foggy this is Sam Wilson aka Falcon and Steve Rogers aka-”
“Captain America. I know I had your comics as a kid.”
“Most of us did Foggy.”
After you excuse yourself to go to the bathroom Matt is once again subject to the big brother talk, much to the amusement of Foggy.
When meeting Wanda and Pietro Matt’s lucky that you’re a quick thinker else his secret identity would have been blown.
Your patching him up after a rough night of patrol when there’s a knock on the door. You and Matt both freeze hoping that whoever it is will just go away but a few seconds later the knocking restarts, much faster; insanely faster. Realising that it’s most likely Pietro (because who else do you know can knock that fast) you turn to Matt and come up with an excuse to his injuries.
“You were mugged on your way here.” 
Luckily for you both his Dare Devil suit is in your wash basket and Matt has already changed into some of his spare clothes that he keeps at your place
Wanda ends up healing Matt while Pietro runs to get his favourite take out, which you all end up eating while watching shitty TV shows because no one really has an idea of what else to do at 2 am.
While your packing away the first aid kit and making sure that Matt’s suit is well hidden under your dirty clothes Matt is once again threatened, this time being the most terrifying.
“If you hurt her you will not see me coming Matthew, think about it one second your at your office the next about to be dropped into a volcano.”
“I still do not know the extent of my powers Matt do you really want to risk it?” 
He meets Bruce next, when he comes to the bakery you work at for a box of muffins to celebrate another win.
Bruce is pretty chill compared to everyone else that he had meet so far, spending the majority of their meeting talking about your baking skills.
“Have you had Y/N’s pancakes, she made them one morning for breakfast at the tower and it was one of the best things I’d ever eat.”
“Yer she makes them at least once a week, they’re really good; though her chocolate cake is way better in my opinion.”
"I know what cake I’ll be asking for for my birthday.
While your out in the back looking for a box for Matt Bruce gives him the same treatment like the rest of the team.
“The big guys very fond of Y/N, hate to see you at the end of one of his rages Murdock.”
It’s very awkward and very brief when Matt meets Vision for the first time.
The two of you are cuddling in bed nearly asleep when Vision suddenly comes phasing through your bedroom to alert you that you’re needed for a mission
“Forgive me for intruding Y/N however we were unable to reach you.”
“Next time knock first Vision, you nearly gave me a heart attack.”
While your out of the room, grabbing the rest of your gear Vision continues with the trend of threatening Matt, which mostly falls on deaf ears because Matt is to damn tired at that point.
Matt meets Tony and Rhodey when Tony finally comes to your apartment to fix your DVD player that he promised to fix and that you didn’t need to go out and replace because he’s a genius so of course something as simple as a DVD player will be easy for him to fix.
The majority of the time is Tony questioning Matt about possible improvements and inventions he can make to help the blind.
“So the accessibility on the Stark Phone-”
“Is terrible.”
“And the Stark-”
“Every Stark product has terrible accessibility.”
While you and Tony are arguing over the mess he has made in your apartment Rhodey tells Matt stories of the missions that he’s been on, both for the Airforce and the Avengers.
“And I’m like ‘Boom you looking for this’.
After nearly 3 hours and a now smashed DVD player later you head to the electric shop 5 minutes from your apartment, leaving Matt at the hands of Tony and Rhodey who attempt and faili miserable to intimidate him.
Meeting Thor is the most embarrassing introduction, even worst than Vision.
Somehow (cough*Tony and Clint*cough) Thor ends up with the address to the firm and similarly to Rhodey begins to tell tales of his adventures, although it sounds more like an hour long tale of ‘I have killed all these different creatures and powerful beings and if you hurt my friend this is what you look forward to’.
“I am Thor, son of Odin slayer of...”
Foggy records the whole thing and puts in on Youtube, it gets a million views in less than 5 hours.
When Matt meets Natasha you’re 99% sure that she planned it.
Natasha had decided to make sure you got home alright after you had returned home from a mission. Of course when you made it to your apartment Matt was waiting for you, your favourite takeout still warm on the counter and your favourite ice cream in the freezer. 
“Natasha this is-”
“Matt Murdock attorney at law and your boyfriend.”
“Why am I not surprised you know that.”
You give Matt a quick kiss and thank you before you excuse yourself so that you can get out of your gear and into some clean clothes.
Natasha ends up not saying anything to Matt and she doesn’t have to. Everything about her immediately tells him everything he needs to know. Without saying a word Natasha becomes the scariest person that Matt has ever come across and the twins previous threat was flown out the window.

Wild West: Top Western Conference Left Wings 2018-19
  We are going to start this offseason by doing a quick recap and reviewing some top performers at each position in the West. We will touch on what happened to make their seasons so successful and I will give a few thoughts on if I think it is going to be sustainable.
  For this series we are going to be using the Fantasy Hockey Geek ranking tool to get a ranking that combines all of a player’s stats for the searched categories. For the purposes of this series, the ranks are based on a 12 team, head-to-head league, using the categories of goals, assists, power play points, shots, hits and blocks for forwards/defensemen and wins, saves, save percentage and goals against average for goalies. Player eligibility for this series is based on Yahoo, and any draft ranks are based on average draft positions compiled from Yahoo, ESPN and CBS by FantasyPros.
  This week, left wings.
  Top 3:
  3. Evander Kane (66)
  After a big end of the season in 2017-18 playing with Joe Pavelski, Evander Kane put together his strongest season to date with the Sharks in 2018-19, ranking 66th overall and third among left wings. He did not continue to play with Pavelski, and even saw what might have been third line deployment at times, but it certainly helped to get some time on ice with a breaking out Tomas Hertl and Timo Meier. He put up a career high in goals (30), power play points (11), and hits (173) and his second highest career numbers in assists (26),total points (56), and point pace (61). Kane also saw his the highest shooting percentage of his career (11.2%).
  Kane was undoubtedly on the best team he has ever played for which certainly helped his overall numbers, but his deployment was actually a bit worse than his previous seasons. He lost almost a minute on time on ice from 2017-18 and is down almost two and a half minutes from his first season in Buffalo. The worse news is almost all of that time lost is on the power play. Even with that time lost though he skated for almost 18.5 minutes a night on average with about two minutes on the power play. The sharks were deep enough this season that his most common linemates were still Joonas Donskoi and Tomas Hertl at evens and Timo Meier and Joe Thornton on the power play. It also helped that for much of the season either Brent Burns or Erik Karlsson was on the ice pretty much at all times. Because the Sharks were so deep, Kane’s IPP was actually his lowest in four seasons at 63%.
  A big reason that Kanes makes the top three is the addition of hits to his solid (if not spectacular) offensive performance. He has historically been successful in this category so it looks as though it is sustainable. The question really has to come with the 30 goals he put up for the first time. Unfortunately his career high goals number did not come with a career high in shots. In fact he has his lowest shot pace in four seasons. Now that shot pace was still good for higher then 3.5 shots per game, but Kane is not a high percentage shooter so his 11.2% is a bit higher than the 9.2% he averaged over the prior three years. There are also some question marks when it comes to the Sharks lineup in general. What will happen to Erik Karlsson, Joe Thornton, Joe Pavelski, and Gustav Nyquist? Are Hertl’s and Meier’s breakouts for real? Kane’s linemates and deployment could be dramatically altered depending on where everyone ends up signing.
  The moral of this story comes down to Kane had a great season, playing on a great offensive team, with a series of linemates who had breakouts of their own. The shots, hits and a 55 point pace seem like a solid expectation for Kane’s 2019-20 season, beyond that though it all comes down to deployment and the team that surrounds him.
  2. Johnny Gaudreau (54)
In 2017-18 Gaudreau missed out on the top three ranking because he doesn’t really contribute in hits and blocks. In 2018-19 he rectified the problem (not by hitting or blocking) by hitting a career high of 99 points. Unsurprisingly then, Gaudreau saw career highs in goals (36), assists (63), power play points (27), and shots (245). All in all it was an excellent season for Gaudreau, and more broadly for that Flames top line.
  It is great to see a career high in goals accompanied by a career high in shots, but unfortunately it is still accompanied by a career high shooting percentage (14.7%). 14.7% is not a terribly high shooting percentage for a some players, but Gaudreau has typically been a lower percentage shooter, averaging 11.4% over the three season prior to this one. If he had hit that shooting percentage this season, he would have had eight fewer goals. Some of his other stats raise questions marks as well. He did see an additional 30 seconds or so a game, but his power play time did not improve overall. His team 5-on-5 shooting percentage is also high (10.58%) where he had been hovering around 9% (definitely average) for the last three years.
  It seems clear that something about this season made for better scoring across the board. His percentages and underlying numbers seems to indicate he performed better than maybe he should have, which might indicate a regression is coming, or it could indicate something about his situation changed. What might have changed? Well Elias Lindholm joined the team and Gaudreau’s line. Lindholm was clearly a much better fit than Michael Ferland in that spot and Gaudreau, Lindholm, and Sean Monahan all had career years together. As exciting as Gaudeau was this season I have question marks about that line repeating their success in 2019-20. That coupled with those high percentage numbers will make me a little cautious at the draft table in 2019-10. To be clear, point-per game is definitely happening, I am just learning more toward a 90 point pace than a 100.
  1.  Gabriel Landeskog (24)
The only repeat offender on this list from 2017-18, Landeskog took his 2017-18 season and built on it. His goals (34), assists (41), points (75), point pace (1.03 pts/g), shots (243), and power play points (26) were all career highs, eclipsing many of the career highs he set in 2017-18.
  Like with Gaudreau we see a career high in goals, accompanied with a career high in shots. His shooting percentage is still a touch high (14%), but he still has a 13.5% plus shooting percentage in two of his last three seasons. Unlike with Gaudreau, his increases in power play points and shots come with increases in power play time (up to over four minutes per game) and in time on ice (over 21 minutes a game). Those increases make the production seem more sustainable, as does his 5-on-5 shooting percentage, which was 8.58%, significantly normal.
  Landeskog spent most of his ice time with Mikko Rantanen and Nathan MacKinnon both at even strength and on the power play. It was worth paying attention to as Colorado split up the trio several times throughout the year to try and spread the offense, but at the end of the day the juggling did not seem to impact him as Landeskog stuck with either MacKinnon or Rantanen and had a career year.
  If your league doesn’t value hits, then you clearly should be drafting Gaudreau before Landeskog, but if hits are included, I love what Landeskog has been doing. He provides a ton of value across the board and as long as he is getting some time with Mackinnon or Rantanen it looks like he can keep it up. Maybe that shooting percentage drops a bit and he misses out on a few goals, or on a few power play points but he appears to be completely worth the cost at this point.
  Bubble Players (just missed a top ranking):
Matthew Tkachuk (68) had a career season in every single category. He saw increases in deployment both at even strength and on the power play and totaled 77 points in 80 games. His personal shooting percentage was a touch high, but as a long as he keeps getting that top deployment, particularly on the power play, it looks like he can keep up 2018-19’s pace. 
  Notable Absences:
Jamie Benn (102), and Jonathan Marchessault (92), 2017-18’s top two left wings certainly fell off the pace in 2018-19. Marchessault actually kept more value falling to only the 6th most valuable left wing, but Benn fell down to 10th. Marchessault had a bit of regression coming after Vegas’ wild inaugural season, but not this much. It looks like his 58 point season could be due for some positive regression in 2019-20. Benn is a slightly more complicated story. His 53 point season actually looks a lot more sustainable than we might like as his dip in point production comes with a loss of time on ice, power play time, and shots. He still should rebound, but without changes in deployment, he might be short of the point per game player he used to be.
  Surprising Value:
  Drafted an average of 216th overall (reminder: a standard 12 team, 16 player league drafts 192 players), Timo Meier provided a ton of value. He finished the season as the 96th ranked player, and 9th ranked left wing. Benn, who ranked just behind him as the 10th ranked wing was drafted 21st overall. Meier almost doubled his point production from 2017-18. He saw a great increase in deployment, but there are some warning signs. He has had a short career thus far, so we only have a small size to compare to, but it is possible we see a bit of a regression from Meier in 2019-20.
  Thanks for reading. Next week, centermen.

Ramblings: McDavid Injured, Poehling Hattie In Debut, Autopicking Ain’t That Bad (Apr 7)
With this being the last day of the regular season, this may not be a typical Ramblings in terms of running through all the boxscores. Sure, there were some noteworthy highlights that will be mentioned. However, I’ll also note various end-of-season happenings as well as some notes heading into the playoffs.
*
Connor McDavid left his game on Saturday with what was originally feared to be a broken leg, but x-rays on his leg turned out to be negative. He’ll be scheduled for an MRI back in Edmonton.
{youtube}bni6Jp6p4P8{/youtube}
We still don’t know the exact severity of his injury or the timeline for recovery, but we at least it sounds as if we don’t have to worry about him not being ready for next season. On the surface, it might not seem like a big deal because the Oilers won’t play games that matter again until October. However, significant injuries will interrupt previously scheduled offseason training plans. Consider Brock Boeser’s slow start this season as an example, after he recovered from a significant back injury and a lingering wrist issue.
McDavid may not have led the league in scoring (he finished second). However, he is the only player not to go two consecutive games without a point, which is remarkably reliable.
McDavid’s unsightly injury overshadowed Leon Draisaitl scoring his 50th goal earlier in the game. We can say he earned that 50 goals, and not just because he plays for the Oilers. Higher-than-normal shooting percentage (21.6%) aside, that 50-goal total is legit because none of Draisaitl’s 50 goals were empty-netters. Even with the shooting percentage that signals favorable luck, Draisaitl also took over 200 shots (231) for the first time in his career.
As for the Oilers themselves, it’s now just one time in the last 13 seasons that they’ve been to the playoffs. The fact that they employ two 100-point scorers and still miss the playoffs is telling of how rough a state this team is in.
Johnny Gaudreau was another player who was flirting with 100 points, yet with an assist on Saturday could only get to 99. Bill Peters tried everything in his power to push him up to 100, gifting him 27 minutes in icetime! Still, his speed and ability to put up points in bunches were a major reason that the Flames were able to take that next step as the Western Conference’s top team in the regular season.
Matthew Tkachuk and Sean Monahan were scratches for the Flames, while Mark Giordano and Elias Lindholm returned to the lineup. I managed to get the latter two back into my lineup, though I wonder if it was worth it with the lack of sense of urgency from the Flames in this game.
*
In case you missed it, your playoff matchups are now set:  
#StanleyCup Playoff Matchups#GoBolts v #CBJ #AllCaps v #TakeWarning #Isles v #LetsGoPens #NHLBruins v #LeafsForever #GoAvsGo v #Flames #GoStars v #Preds #VegasBorn v #SJSharks #STLBlues v #GoJetsGo Home Ice advantage TBD
— SiriusXM NHL Network Radio (@SiriusXMNHL) April 7, 2019
The Jets, by the way, secured home ice in their series with St. Louis with a 4-2 win over Arizona.
Look for our Experts Panel coming up soon, where our writers will pick the winners in each first-round series, the Stanley Cup finalists and winner, the Conn Smythe winner, and the top 5 in playoff scoring. Don’t ask me for my picks yet, because you’ll see them in there.
*
The interactive playoff draft list is ready for download now! Don’t wait until five minutes before your draft or deadline to purchase it. If you haven’t already preordered it, get yours today! If you have already purchased it, jump right in. It’s available in the Downloads section on the Dobber website (login required for the site, not the forum).
Once you purchase the draft list, please take a moment to get familiar with it before your draft. Read the Instructions tab before you begin using it. The Excel spreadsheet file is interactive (macro-enabled) and not just a “list.” The point total projections depend on which teams you set to advance, or you could go with Dobber’s picks if you’re really not sure. I’m not trying to make it sound super complicated or anything, but it’s better to be prepared. Hey, we just want you to win your league!
Also, please make sure you try logging in, so that our admin team has enough time to take care of any password resets before your draft!
*
Auston Matthews and Fabian Brunnstrom are two relatively recent players who posted hat tricks in their NHL debuts. We can add Ryan Poehling to that list, as he scored his three goals plus a shootout goal in the final game of the season, a 6-5 shootout win for the Canadiens. There isn’t much that we can do with that today, aside from remembering his name in keeper leagues for next season. Poehling is a center, which has been a thin position for the Habs in recent seasons, although it seems to be an area that they’re trying to address with Jesperi Kotkaniemi, Nick Suzuki, and Poehling all in the system.
It will be interesting to see whether Poehling makes the Habs in 2019-20 or he further develops his skills in the AHL. The 2017 first-round pick just turned pro after finishing up with St. Cloud State, where he scored 31 points in 36 games in each of his last two seasons. I’ll take a wild guess and assume that he’ll end up with production somewhere between Matthews and Brunnstrom.
You can view Poehling’s Dobber Prospects profile here.
*
Nikita Kucherov scored a goal and added an assist to lead the Lightning to a 6-3 win over Boston. Kucherov finishes the season with 128 points, which is the highest single-season total for a Russian-born player. Kucherov will also win the Art Ross Trophy as the league’s leading scorer and should be considered the fantasy MVP in pure points leagues as well as many multicategory formats. Expect him to be the top-ranked player in fantasy playoff drafts as the Lightning should be considered the favorite to win the Stanley Cup. Or to Don Cherry or Brian Burke (can’t remember which one), they’re the easy pick to win.
By the way, the Lightning tied the 1995-96 Red Wings for the most wins in a season (62). Their 128 points are the fourth-most in NHL history. There’s a lot of hockey left to be played, but this could be their year.
The noteworthy “healthy” scratches for this game included Brad Marchand, Patrice Bergeron, Torey Krug, and Brayden Point. Expect all three to be ready for the playoffs. However, these final-day scratches were a recurring theme throughout the day. I’m going to give this shutdown of the final week idea some more thought in one of my leagues this offseason.
*
With a goal and an assist on Saturday, Sidney Crosby has reached the 100-point mark for the first time since the 2013-14 season. Crosby had finished with between 80 and 90 points in each of those previous four seasons, so his scoring numbers have been fairly consistent if you factor in the scoring inflation that happened this season.
In the end, there were six 100-point scorers this season. Kucherov, McDavid, Patrick Kane, Draisaitl, Marchand, and Crosby. I mentioned Gaudreau just falling short, as did Nathan MacKinnon (99 points) and Steven Stamkos (98 points). Aleksander Barkov finished with a career high of 96 points, which rounds out the top 10. To compare, the lowest scorer in the top 10 finished with 89 points last season, and all the way down to 75 points and 77 points in the two seasons before that. Further proof that scoring is up.
*
Have we seen the last of Roberto Luongo? I was hoping that he would go out with a win on Saturday since we don’t know for sure yet, but it was not meant to be. Lu allowed four goals on 27 shots in the Panthers’ 4-3 overtime loss to New Jersey. It’s sounding more and more like the Panthers will go after an established starting goalie (Sergei Bobrovsky, maybe?) Assuming that the Panthers find a way to part with James Reimer, would Luongo accept a role as a backup in order to keep playing? I keep thinking that the inevitable result is for Luongo to go on LTIR before his contract ends in 2022, which would save both the Panthers and the Canucks (especially the Canucks) on significant cap space known as the cap recapture penalty.
*
Erik Karlsson returned for the Sharks on Saturday after missing the past 17 games with a groin injury. He was held without a point but was a plus-3 in 22 minutes. He should be available as normal for playoff pools.
Evander Kane scored his 30th goal of the season, which is the first time since 2011-12 that he has reached that total. The Sharks are now the first team with four 30-goal scorers (Joe Pavelski, Tomas Hertl, Timo Meier, Kane) since the 2008-09 Red Wings and Flyers.
*
I competed all the way to the bitter end in my Experts Roto League representing the Dobber brand, but alas I fell just short. Congratulations to David Petrie of The Hockey Writers, who started the day in third place but pulled ahead of both Jan Levine of Rotowire and myself. Levine and I tied for second place. Look how close the results were (type CTRL+ to make your browser text bigger if it's hard to read):
As you can see, fellow Dobber expert Eric Daoust finished in fifth place.
Sometimes victory isn’t quite meant to be, but my biggest weakness turned out to be goals. Yet all I would have need to win was to move up 1.5 points, which with these standings turned out to be three stinking goals. I scored 353 goals all season, but I could have won had I scored just three more goals to get up to 356. In fact, I could have advanced 3 points had I scored just five more goals than I did. A long season can come down to the smallest margin of victory.
The other point that I wanted to make was that I autopicked this team. Yes, autopicked. A word that serious fantasy players want no part of. I wrote about this in a Ramblings in late September, describing how I had prepared for this draft that I would not be present for due to other commitments. I’ll let you read how I did it, but in the end I’ll give a ton of credit to Fantasy Hockey Geek for what turned out to be a successful season. Being able to enter all my stat categories into the Geek, then using Dobber’s projections (tweaked a little to my own likings) to spit out custom rankings for my league is invaluable. I was then able to move players up and down the Yahoo pre-rankings according to how the Geek ranked them. I absolutely recommend the Geek without reservation.
I probably could have used the waiver wire more (Petrie made 73 moves, while I made just 22). However, I kept my first 13 picks for the entire season, only dropping the 14th pick (Chris Kreider) late in the season when he was battling an injury and I needed to maximize my games played. The funny thing is that earlier in that Ramblings, I suggested that Elias Lindholm’s ownership needed to be higher (just 18 percent at the time) because he would be a more ideal linemate for Gaudreau and Sean Monahan than James Neal. Lindholm was my 15th pick and was just 18 percent owned in Yahoo leagues at the time. Now I’m deciding whether he should be one of my four keepers for next season. Funny how that worked out.
I’m not suggesting that I prefer autopicking over live drafting. Although there’s that feeling of control with picking your own players, autopicking might not turn out as bad as you might think. I’ll try to attend next season’s draft, since I may not want to pick my second goalie in the 15th round (I can keep four players before the draft, including one goalie). But at least I know that I might be fine if I can’t make it and moving the date/time is impossible.
This league can be viewed publicly, so you can take a closer look here.

Like many of you, Bob Cole has been calling hockey games longer than I’ve been watching them. That familiar voice will be missed. I used to hate seeing him get criticized on Twitter, knowing that calling play-by-play is not an easy job, so I sure hope this isn’t Sportsnet putting him out to pasture. Here’s another solid HNIC montage on some of his great calls. Mr. Cole is a Canadian treasure.
