In the eight seasons Matthews has played here, there have been four with a higher win % and three with a lower one, so "the worst showing yet since Matthews was drafted" is inaccurate.
Considering the mess Tre was given, with quick fixes running away, a bad goalie and defence situation, and stripped cupboards, it's actually impressive he managed as well as he did last year.
This year he's already improved both the D and G, along with coaching. Admittedly he's still handicapped until Dubas' two biggest mistakes have their current contracts end next year, but there are already positive signs.
