Player Discussion Auston Matthews (Captain Edition)

[ORRFForever]

Time for this bum to visit the surgeon or a witch doctor, whoever the f*** to fix himself.

There is NO fixing him. He is who he is.

 

[TonsofPuppies]

Take that all you f'n haters

Hope you enjoyed the game tonight. Lmao. Like I said, Matthews is and always has been and always will be a complete fraud.

 

[Tie Domi Esquire]

Pathetic.

 

[ITM]

Oh absolutely not. That kind of Game 6 output is more or less what we need from him every other game, not once a series. You add one extra Matthews goal in the right place in the series, Leafs could have won 4-2. If we want to win this Florida series 4-3, Matthews is going to have to find more ways to score more goals, play a 200 foot game at the same time.

You mean like on a 5 minute power play?

Might have to send you away for tolerance training.

I hear he has a chronic back issue that is only going to get worse not better. He definitely looked it this year too.

 

[ORRFForever]

It was difficult to tell if Auston buckled under the weight of the captaincy or did nothing to grow into the role and didn't even try.

There is NO point in keeping him. Test the market. If NO one is willing to pony up, then the Leafs tried.

The post game interviews will be the same as the last 8(?) years. "We think this group has what it takes to win. We hope they keep us together". Etc.

At least Domi tried.

He has a mystery injury that stopped cashing excuses.

 

[keonsbitterness]

One of Matthews or Nylander have to go but I feel they'll get a pass because Matthews scored a garbage goal last night.

Team needs a shakeup beyond Marner and Tavares leaving as UFAs (but Tavares probably stays)

How? They all have NMCs. Maybe they can get Rielly to move.

 

[Leafshater67]

Strip him of the captaincy and run without one. Nobody deserves to wear a C on this roster.

Aprilitis. Same as Mitch.

Sincerely speechless at the glut of negative records around this cohort. It’s comedic on an institutional level.

Matthews would go if they found the right deal.

 

[LeafGrief]

The impotence of his “I’m working hard guys” shifts were comical tonight. He made maybe three good plays? The best thing I can say about him tonight is that he showed a pulse for at least 20% of his ice time.

Absolute joke. At least he did it with the C on his chest so there can be no doubts about how completely unserious this guy is. I don’t give a shit about the trade return, he is FIRED.

Sure did.

I think the interviews will be different. And they are. This is the bottom of the ocean.

 

[keonsbitterness]

I don't see the Leafs even thinking about that.

 

[ORRFForever]

I don't see the Leafs even thinking about that.

Why? (sincere question)

 

[Stephen]

He doesn't look like a player with a lot of gas left in the tank.

 

[sunstersun]

THANK GOD FOR THE 4 year deal from MATTHEW$

 

[ORRFForever]

He doesn't look like a player with a lot of gas left in the tank.

He is an OLD 27. All the more reason to get what you can.

 

[ashs]

Should have been LTir'ed and we should've loaded up for playoffs

 

[Dough72]

he has to go

 

[keonsbitterness]

Why? (sincere question)

He's a #1 centre in his prime. Whatever his faults, you can't give that up unless you're getting another one back.

 

[mjd1001]

Its hard to 'load up' for the playoffs when you have very few assets left to trade for other guys to 'load up with'. This, of course, will be even worse next year, the cubboard is really really bare now.

 

[rebuildorbust]

Trade him to LA for Byfield, Kempe, and Clarke

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

Why the f*** is Matthews talking about passengers?! YOU ARE THE PASSENGER.

 

[ORRFForever]

He's a #1 centre in his prime. Whatever his faults, you can't give that up unless you're getting another one back.

That's fair.
