ECQF: Game 1 7:11 PM - Toronto Maple Leafs @ Boston Bruins | NBCSN, NESN, CBC, SN (4K), TVAS

Yes, a winger has never made more money than Matthews. Look at Kucherov's contract.

No I said would you disagree to say it's dumb an agent would say my client wants no more than X before the season even ends??

 

[compan]

Regardless, two years in a row the leafs have the least amount of powerplays. We're sick of it.

Dude, it hasn’t even been a whole game yet.

 

[Pi]

Playoffs are stressful. I think if the leafs ever go far it could take years off my life.

Seriously...my heart is going haywire every time the puck is in our zone. This is only game 1.

Looks like the Leafs want it this time around.

I don't watch a ton of maple leafs games but everytime I do marner is the most noticeable player, 2nd would be rielly .

i guess its easier to notice them, they have elite skating and can be allover the ice.

 

[winnipegger]

This series already has 7 games written all over it.

No, not if you know that's the highest contract in the league.

That's fair this season for sure. I am just saying that Matthews is weird. It's like he just decides it's time to be good and can take over a game. He's a monster with his size. Problem is especially this year he seems to pick and choose when he feels like it.

He does come off rather passive at times... in that sense he reminds me of getzlaf... can control the game with his size and skill but doesn't always do it as much as youd like.

We (Toronto) look terrible in our own zone this period. Starting with the stupid flip passes to nobody.

Dude, it hasn’t even been a whole game yet.

So, are you saying to wait at least till Game 2 before complaining about it?

 

[Menzinger]

Marner gets a huge amount of respect lol

Not always.

Only when it became impossible for others to deny his abilities

Dude, it hasn’t even been a whole game yet.

Its been two years. Why would we expect anything different?

 

[Frenchy]

ping !!

 

[Divine]

What a shot by Matthews

 

[Daz28]

No, not if you know that's the highest contract in the league.

Then we'll disagree. My agent would be fired the minute he said I'd only accept up to X amount, when I could legit go Conn Smythe, and win the cup

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Dang matthews ripped it off the post

 

[Marner]

So close

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Matthews almost made it 3-1.

Rask likes Post cereal...

 

[Arhidia]

Marner even backchecks like a hound

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Not always.

Only when it became impossible for others to deny his abilities

Only when it's time to talk about his contract lol

 

[Albus Dumbledore]

so close matthews.

also did chara just not slash up tavares before there?

 

[Quiet Jack]

hey Matthews is playing

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Havnt noticed a lot of the star players(outside of marner)

Hymann and Coyle have been the best players imo outside of marner.

 

[Lshap]

Man... this game has already taken 90 minutes off my life.

 

[Just Rude]

AM34 hits iron. Just about got one....

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Marner even backchecks like a hound

He is a complete package player.

 

[Hank Plank]

Refs need a PP soon. Oh sorry I mean the Bruins do.
