To be fair leaf fans find a new scape goat every year to avoid throwing any blame on matthews
Is matthews the problem, no
Is he the solution, he hasn’t shown he can be yet

Marner had his gloves off moment, then kept the non-shutout streak alive. No one can shutout this team

when McDavid was injured early this year, Leaf fans gave him no pass and were extremely critical of him, and this was the REGULAR season, I saw many leaf fans do this.(Including you)
Now you expect Matthews to get a golden pass yet another year just because he had some bad gas station sushi, give me a break.

McDavid missed 2 regular season games? Nylander missed 3 playoff games. How is that comparable?
It’s not a very serious injury if you’re playing through it in the regular season.

I'm taking about McDavid and his slump back after his injury, you and a dozen leaf fans wouldn't shut up about how bad he was due to him being injured.
Your boy Matthews once again is a no show and here you are giving excuses every single time he gets called out.

What excuse did I give Matthews? I’m talking about Nylander who missed playoff games.
You’re too invested in your McDavid theory. He had a serious injury he could play through during the regular season - okay.

This a pretty bad Bruins team by their standards. If the Leafs can’t pull this one out, then you might as well blow it up

And you're too invested in this core of losers, you have every excuse in the book, it's never them is it?
Pathetic.

I mean Edmonton tried 3 coaches the whole time Keefe was here.
Maybe they should try another coach.
Ok so we agree, he isn't the problem. Thanks.
To be fair Leaf haters try and throw anything they can to discredit Matthews, doesn't matter if he has a broken wrist, the usual suspects with show up to trash him. It's comical really.
Anyone blaming Matthews can't be taken seriously. Even with whatever illness he's battling, he's been one of the hardest working guys this series, and willed the Leafs to win game 2 almost on his own.
I blame lots of people from management, to coaches to a lot of the roster players. Matthews and Nylander are not the guys to blame though.

That's a nice deflection, good thing I'm not an Oilers fan.
Again, you're too invested in this core of losers.

Did switching coaches work for Edmonton? They do it every other season when their team struggles.
Agreed. You can give him a pass for last game as clearly he was ill. But there’s too much history of Matthews underperforming. At some point he needs to step up in the playoffs and take the team on his back. He had one good game this series.
He’s not the problem. But he’s a big part of the problem especially when people argue he’s a top 5 player and compare him to his peers like McDavid, Drai, Mack, Kucherov etc. Each of those other guys have stepped up and carried their teams in the playoffs.
Matthews hasn’t come close to doing that.

He came in defending McDavid for some reason when no one mentioned him. So I’m giving him an example of McDavid’s team.

Because the Leafs have a 1-1 record against the Oilers this year.
And if you think really really hard about it, this means the Leafs would sweep the Oilers (and every other team in the West) in a playoff series.
But didn't they make the conference finals two years ago, 2nd round last year, and are rolling in round 1 this year? Seems to me that what they are doing is working?
Or just stick with Keefe, cause he has it all figured out?

I came here to call you out on all the shit you talked about McDavid when he was playing injured, and that was during the regular season.
Matthews is at the biggest stage of the year and has done nothing, but you're full of every excuse in the book.
It's not a hard point to grasp, you should be called out for saying stupid things.

Most people are in favour of firing Keefe, myself included.
The point being that a coach can also be the problem, it’s not always necessarily the players.
So why are you bagging on the Oilers for changing coaches, when it clearly works?
Odd stance.

When did I bag on them for it?
I’m saying it worked for them and the Leafs should try it.
As a die hard leaf fan, please stop. You ain't helping.
