Should the Maple Leafs pursue another forward at the deadline or look to add a d-man ?
Let us know 👇
Woman weaken legs.
I wouldn't be concerned at all. Players have slumps once in awhile
If we're winning it doesn't matter how much he scores. He will start scoring again it just happens. Maybe he'll warm up come playoffs when it will really matter most.
I think he's still injured
Whatever he does to get us a cup. Everything else doesn't matter. He's gonna get paid regardless
The team’s goals are spread out by multiple players which is a good thing since they don’t rely on one player.
3 weeks missed with a knee sprain he’s likely not 100% but he’s had chances and he’s been hauling ass on back checks. wonder if his wrist is bunk again
He has a nagging injury all year long….his wrist issue is still bothering him….it's obvious he's not shooting the puck with the same pace and accuracy like he's always done. Let's just hope this isn't career threatening….else he may never be the same player again without his shot.
He is in a little slump, it happens. He will get the smokin' stick back again.
I am not concerned expensive about Matthews all-star slump. Plus he’s been excellent defensive wise as long as he shows up in the playoffs it’s all good.
Matthews: Uhh uhh duuuh umm umm uh uuuh uuum uh duh uuum uh uuh duuh umm um uuh umm. This guy makes Butthead sound Ivy League.
Trade him for a bowl of soup
No. Next.
How about Matthews offering a pay cut till we see how next season turns out? He appears to be playing through some sort of wrist injury, and that doesn't bode well for the future. The Leafs still need a number-one goalie, by the way.
Mathews? Bro McDavid is on pace to score 150 points! (Last person to do it was Mario Lemieux)p
TO fans talking this guy is better than McDavid last year lol.
leafs media will always find something to moan about lol
Not even going to watch the video – just came here to say what an absolute joke the question even is, and what lazy "journalism" this is.
Last year arcade mode, this year, not engaged enough or at all some nights. Yes, something is up. Not going to his spots, not cutting towards the middle.
I think he's going through the Yzerman transformation. He's focused more on his 2-way game these days. His scoring will dip because of it. I'd rather have team success than Matthews getting his numbers. Also he plays with Nylander, who's a goal scorer himself. I'm not worried at all.
It's okay this won't last forever
