Player Discussion Auston Matthews (Captain Edition)

[saffronleaf]

Solid start to the playoffs

 

[Antropovsky]

He’s been doing this for years now, tons of takeaways, few giveaways, even hits lots in the playoffs and has the reputation of a soft player who doesn’t care.

100% I've been saying it all year as well. Matthews doesn't get alot of heat by fans and media for playoffs like certain other because he really is incredible defensively, he's physical, he's winning faceoffs, he's in the corners and he's around the net. There's is a reason why he won the Ted Lindsay (voted by players) a couple years ago and last year was in the top 3, despite not being in the top 3 for Hart. Other players know how good he is.
