Player Discussion Auston Matthews (Captain Edition)

[BraveCanadian]

Arguably the only time Matthews has ever lived up to the billing as a top 3-5 player was when he was playing with Domi and Bertuzzi. Mediocre at best linemates producing at an elite rate.

That was literally one little hot streak and Domi has been garbage all year outside a couple other streaks.

Hey yall... Matty got a flukey one - so let's hope it gives him a little confidence and reason to believe in himself at this time of year. Looks like it gave him some voice, which I've never really seen before (on the bench after the Laughton block, where he was pointing down the bench and yellin' at the top of his lungs - and the room shot, where he gave the props and puck to Lotty.. ) - So, let's hope it goes right to his heart and mind and he gets a lil mojo goin' in Round 2.

That wasn’t flukey that was a skill play Hes gotta be more of a finesse player he can’t beat goalies with brute force like he normally would

There's no way he truly meant that to sneak it in like that.. but he could've - it's possible, I guess? Even if he did, pretty lucky it snuck inside the post along the ice with only a few inches to spare. Either way, mi nah care how they go in - just that they do! And it's big for us that this guy just gets on the board.

Well yeah, but don't you think it's a little misleading to compare Domi with Matthews to Domi without Matthews?

Domi and Bertuzzi aren’t the important factors in the whole Matthews style of play conversation. I think that’s gotta come out of Matthews himself, he is his own pace car type thing.

Dunno if that's true for Bertuzzi. Really felt like his grind and grit style unlocked something in Matthews.

He's going to show why he's the captain. I expect a great series from Matthews and he will deliver!!
