It was a very fitting graphics package, because those two really look like video game characters that you're using with cheat codes.

I can't watch it if I wanted to.
I'm sure you could find two cherry picked similar plays for a lot of players though. Either one would probably look great with many different players so I'm not sure Button's onto anything too revelatory there.
Like so many 18-year-old rookie hopefuls and first-round picks, Marner said he suffered from a case of the jitters in 2015. Afraid to make a mistake, he opted for the safe, simple play in camp instead of trying to create scoring opportunities — the strength of a kid who models his game after Knights alum Patrick Kane.“That’s what was wrong with my game,” he said. “This year I have to play my game, play the game I’m used to playing and not changing it up, instead of trying to make no mistakes at all — because that’s when bad things happen.”
Mitch Marner will adjust strategy for Maple Leafs training camphttp://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/mitch-marner-toronto-maple-leafs-training-camp-approach-nerves-london-knights-junior-nhl/QuoteLike so many 18-year-old rookie hopefuls and first-round picks, Marner said he suffered from a case of the jitters in 2015.

Should be pretty beneficial for him that he lives so close to the Leafs practice facility.
Not much in the way of real info here but apparently Marner's mom has retired and is in charge of bulking him up this summer:http://news.nationalpost.com/sports/nhl/toronto-maple-leafs-prospect-mitch-marner-trying-to-bulk-up-this-summer-in-bid-for-nhl-job
