Matthew’s is not Captain material…He’s not Dougie Gilmour, Darryl Sittler, Wendel Clark, etc…that’s for sure. He gets beat for every puck and he’s on the ice for a lot of goals against.
I have never seen a team who can"t hold a lead as the Leafs.
There comments about Ottawa being desperate is disrespectful considering there starting should be playing desperately
Exactly why is Matthew's playing if hes so hurt. Problem is the Core runs this ship. I also believe Shanny has way to much control of what happens on the ice. Time to be like Vegas wheel and deal everyone for whats best for the team.
Take the 'C' off of Taco Bell & put it back on Tavares where it belongs.
FIRE SHANAHAN. TRADE MATTHEWS WHILE HE'S STILL WORTH SOMETHING
Mathews is too "laid back" in the way he carries himself. He has crazy skill level, BUT I've rarely ever seen him pushing himself to an extreme level; like, it never looks to me like he is working hard or pushing himself. He relies on skill and not enough hard work. It takes 110% effort to win, and he hasn't shown that he's capable of that.
On top of this, he almost always seems to be dealing with some sort of chronic injury. He has begun several seasons where it already seems like he has an injury. Does he not take care of himself in the offseason? I don't have the answer, but this is a very serious problem, that nobody talks about it.
all those years of deep playoff runs by the leafs core 4 are finally catching up to them probably need to rest up for next year
Just doc ever player 50 grand for every loss….you will see a big difference in how they play
Yep it's me the broken record again…. leafs go nowhere with mathews wearing g the C. He's soft. Weak. Plays scared. Does not and HAS NEVER answered the bell in big games or in the tuff going. NOT the guy you want leading the charge in the playoffs. You think the other teams don't know this??
Trade him. Please. Rid this team and all your diehard fans of this GROSSLY overrated powderpuff.
The Leafs fall in Spring in Toronto. See you in the Fall.
Sens fan here to warm my hands on the dumpster fire. Hope to see you guys in the first round!
Get the golf clubs out
16 may as well have had an Ottawa jersey on. 74,23 I expected a lot more from. 44 has got to be the WORST player on that team. Zero play making ability. OEL also stunk. No freaking heart on this team whatsoever. Habs play panthers and dominate! The Pens with Timmons and dewar…Dewar scores 3 his first 2 games!! Don’t think he had one with us.
It’s a freakin shambles and there should be KPIs attached to their ridiculous salaries. Done with this team. Blow em up.. been saying this for ages
This team has no killer instinct that is required to succeed.
Also the Leafs fell out of the playoffs in 2014 when they had a for sure spot in March. It can happen because it has happened.
The 4 Nations should have been held AFTER the Stanley Cup!
How many injuries were sustained and carried back to the regular season.
Wonder if politics is weighing on them with Al the booing and tariffs
They will be fine. They got millions
I said this in a similar video but the leafs organization clearly don’t care if they win or lose. This team will never win a cup, they show no desire to win, it’s like they just show up to games because they have to but play like they don’t want to be there. The leafs to me are a group of guys who are lazy, they can skate hard in the first period, then just become lazy the rest of the game, the wait for the puck to come to them instead of going after it every time. When the leafs make their usual first round exit from the playoffs, don’t blame the coach m, the team will be the one to blame because they have no heart or desire to win.
over paid players in the NHL is becoming legend. hey don't get me wrong there are excellent hockey players in the NHL we all know who they are. BUT how many overpaid long term contracts are out there crippling the salary cap managing????? high priced contratcs and long term is not very good too many injuries can spoil the plans of GM's ??? imagine when the wrong players occupy the chairs available on a team? you needs 3 and 4th line solid hockey players not easy to find.
look at Anderson Josh in Mtl he is playing injured for months now.
overpaying players does not give a Stanley cup we can see this look in Edmundton they pay 16 million for Leon Draisitl insaine has edmundton won a cup? toronto same thing? good players but not enough seems. so why sign those long term insane contracts ? injuries can spoil the most good intention plans right? look how Price ended ?? 15 year carrer no stanley cup he was alone as super goaly in Mtl. hockey is a team game and too much me myself and i in mordern hockey.
