  1. History tells us Americans don't lead teams to cups. They don't have what it takes, they need to be carried.

  2. I dont think Matthews plays too much because of money reasons. Its because he is too much of a superstar and so the team can't win without him. Thats the difference between him and a guy like Stone or even Barkov or Kucherov. Those other teams have the depth to compensate

  3. Matthews and Barkov are very similar players. Great offensive players who are very good at defence. Meanwhile Toronto media always reaching for negatives on his game. I hate our mainstream coverage outside of Bowen

  4. Matthews have never been the same since he went to germany a few years ago for a Head or neck/back issue I suspect a TBI, lasting from a concussion. and its now moved into more injuries probably from him not being as sharp or focused. I might be a Crosby thing, where it takes him a season or two just to take it easy and get back to it PLUS i mean hes on TORONTO which i thought at one point we left the ways of trapping top talent into a shit piss poor managed team but NOPE we are back at it SKYHIGH TICKET PRICES for all the bigwigs with GARBAGE TEAM. Fuck i hate Toronto their tickets need to be 1/4 the price and the team needs to be double as good

  5. mathews showed his level in the 4 nation cup, he is nowhere to be seen when its time to be clutch. he is just like ovechkin. a puck hog.

  6. Dude lost his primary Creative tape to tape Third eye Specialist who dishes him like a 100 scoring chances. Doesnt even get a replacement which even close and ppl talk about what happened to him.

  7. Hot take: This Auston Matthews should not be on the US Olympic team. He’s barely a half PPG player with mediocre to bad defensive impacts right now.

  8. He doesn’t want to play 82 games, let alone a god damn playoff run (those can get difficult). Faking injuries is the easiest way to make sure you clock out early come spring time

  9. It's a simple solution… Matthews should not play in the Olympics. he should willingly sit out to get healthy for his team but my guess is that will not happen. You can tell he is not the same player he was. He can't even take a one timer, which was his Deadliest weapon.

  10. On behalf of all Sabres fans, thank you for making this the thumbnail. Also, we have 2x as many series wins in 20 years and are 130-75-18 vs the leafs

  11. I call it bald man sydrome. When a player hits a point of no return, their gameplay also goes down. Same thing happened to Pettersson on Canucks, Patrik Laine and many other players. Honestly, think about it, it's alot.

  12. LMAO… You can't compare Matthews to McDavid or Crosby. When has Mathews, or any American player, ever put a team on his back? The answer is "never."

  13. Whaaaattt??? Toronto biggest hockey market in the world ? FYI, I strongly suggest you to get some infos bout The market: Montréal.
    How many Cups has whiny Matthews (no heart) bring you dude?

  14. They got rid of the wrong player 😂😂 real hockey fans knew they should of been trading matthews

  15. No heart and soul on this team. Rogers need to bring in Brian Burke or Lou Lamoriello to fix the teams heart. I don't think Treliving was the right GM candidate. I like Futa personally or even a guy like Zito or a guy like Evan Gold or Ryan Bowness. Leafs need to move on from its core and bring in selke type players to fit Berube's system. Trading Minten was a mistake when you needed to replace Tavares eventually.
    Oleksiak, Sherwood & maybe Schenn depending on who you move could help the team.
    You can't move AM & Nylander at the deadline unless they demand a trade. Same thing with Morgan Rielly in the summer.

  16. i think its best leafs let matthews rest for half a season or more, because at one point he was compared to getting ovi's goal pace, but since then, matthews has done nothing

  17. Mathews was always soft as baby sh*t. if you watched him play for an extended period of time, its obvious. the combination of Marner and Mathews was epic failure. they both should have left at the same time

    both purely shine in regular season when nobody is taking it seriously. but in the playoffs, they fail to rise to the occasion

  18. It’s wild that just a couple years ago people were comparing him to guys like McDavid, MacKinnon, Kucherov, and Draisaitl. At this point it seems clear he’s even been passed by Celebrini and Bedard.

    The Oilers alone have 3 forwards out scoring him by a wide margin, and another in Roslovic outpacing him too.

  19. He was never a leader. He's a goal scorer.
    He mumbles in interviews, he blames teammates.
    That's not leadership. Many teams seem to have this fixation on the captain also being a top scorer.
    That's extremely hard to find in one person.
    The Leafs need a Scott Stevens type captain urgently. Real leadership to increase overall goals and wins.
