Auston Matthews Discussion Thread

[ToneDog]

That is a stupid take.

What else is he supposed to do?

Push back. Looking back at it, kind of reminds me of Leo doing nothing when he was licked by Marchand.

 

[Trapper]

I highly doubt he makes it to UFA without an extension

I’m sure NY said the same thing.
He can pull the old choose not to negotiate during the season in the final year.
We will have a better picture by that time.

For now I suggest we maximize the opportunity to win in the next 3 years.

How?

 

[tronoleaf]

Is there a max contract? Or could a team offer him 20 mil?

20% of the cap is the max offer a team can make

 

[Dreakmur]

How?

By literally pushing back….

They shove you, you shove them. They punch you, you punch them. They cross check you, you cross check them.

Substitute the Stanley Cup for "Capone", and stop expecting to follow the "law"

So again when you are in a crowd and someone has a tight horse collar on you how do you push back?



We did in the first game of the season wow did that stop his horse collar on Matthews?

Shouldn't need to be explained. It really was hard to believe either of those situations occurred.

Left arm up, turn torso left, drop left arm to break the grip. Is that what you wanted explained? Lol

Spoken like some one who has never done hand to hand in a tight crowd, on skates against a 220 lbs man.

Done hand to hand? If you mean a hockey fight, I was in many of those - maybe I never won any, but I was showed up!

That would be an obvious statement.

 

[Dreakmur]

That would be an obvious statement.

I guess not everyone has done as much hand to hand as you….

You're probably right there. I was the sparring partner for a few years with a friend of mine who competed in some minor pro MMA competitions in NY state and Ontario.

Then you should know how easy it is to break a grip…

You probably took a right to the chops while you were doing that.

 

[Aashir]

Hmmm.
I think 25-28 teams would move whatever they had to in order to get a #1 Superstar Center.
Matthews really only has one flaw.
Smiling while getting ragdolled is a horrible look.
That’s on Wonder Boy though.
He has nurtured this team.
Shameful and embarrassing.

His playmaking right?

 

[Dreakmur]

You probably took a right to the chops while you were doing that.

That's all part of the scrum. They can punch me, but then I punch back. If you're afraid to get hit, stay on the bench.

 

[Bluelines]

Which grip, there is not just one?

What you can do in street fight or a MMA fight is a heck of a lot different than what you can do in a Hockey scrum.

The guy has a horse collar on Austin, Austin's jersey is tied down, if he twisted like you suggested, Austin would end up with his jersey pulled over his head and blind to any punches.

If you tried what you said in your earlier post to me and we didn't have that crowd around us, I'd hip throw you faster than you can say... Noooooo.....I made a mistake....

 

[Bluelines]

Yep while his jersey is pulled over his head... lots of hockey experts with advice who seem to have never been in that situation.

 

[Bluelines]

His playmaking right?

Nope, its he can't keep his pants on in parking lots after 1 am... its his kryptonite...

 

[Dreakmur]

The horse collar you specifically asked about.

What you can do in street fight or a MMA fight is a heck of a lot different than what you can do in a Hockey scrum.

So why are you talking about MMA?

The guy has a horse collar on Austin, Austin's jersey is tied down, if he twisted like you suggested, Austin would end up with his jersey pulled over his head and blind to any punches.

You are picturing a very weird scenario.

If you tried what you said in your earlier post to me, I'd hip throw you faster than you can say... Noooooo.....I made a mistake....

Wow, you're very tough!

Game 6 OT:

CF%: 77%
FF%: 89%
SF%: 87%
SCF%: 81%
HDCF%: 100%
xGF%: 88%

"not tilted"

Did The Leafs Win That Game%: still 0%

Wouldn't work

Because that is my point of reference for any defensive hand to hand.

Picturing the scenario you suggested and the end result

I don't know about being really tough but I am really experienced and smart enough to know when some one is talking out of their ass about a subject they don't understand.
