Is Matthews still playing in the regular season? Someone clear it up for me.

 

[Czechboy]

Leafs have played well. Just need to stay the course IMO. They are due. Feeling for AM34.. he's had some great looks. If he scores one he might loosen the grip a little!

Sublime is hovering around a 6 out of 10

Goaltending the difference:

We already knew this.

 

[Leafs Captain]

Leafs are itching for that first playoff goal. They are trying too hard in wrong places. One goal will settle them down.

 

[pcruz]

And people doubt that Matthews is the MVP of the league.

He is the best offensive player, the best defensive player of the team by a huge margin on both fronts.


And he led the team to 102 points despite the goalies actively sabotaging the team all year long.

This team with a competent goalie would get 120 points every year and be dominant in the playoffs, but they keep letting in the first shot of the game and/or period all year long.


At no point this year did a Toronto goalie outperform the opposing goalie.

Willy would have scored on the empty net.

What game are you watching?

I felt they were all over them in 2nd period. Shots are 12 to 2 in the second.

 

[Bizzare]

why is reaves playing so much

On pace for ~9 mins, that is a lot

 

[Hank Plank]

Shutout in progress game will end 4-0.

 

[sampollock]

why is reaves playing so much

Because he's going to control the game his way

 

[Kaner9]

Leafs only playin for handshake respect now.

 

[Channelcat]

The Leafs could really use a goal scorer.

Didn't Tavares score goals at one point?

 

[Summer Rose]

Shutout in progress game will end 4-0.

You said the forbidden word!

 

[ACLEVERNAME]

Rielly is so bad defensively

He literally singlehandedly saved the Leafs season according to coach Keefe. 'Intangibles'

 

[sampollock]

Figs D is bad

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

So, does Maroon, or Frederic get beat up by Reaves, or just let him do what he's doing, which is sadly, being part of the 2nd beat like for Toronto ? The 4th line has definitely created some chances.

34 hasn't been bad at all.

 

[King Woodballs]

Cuthbert making it sound like a great feat the leafs have so many hits lol
FYI you get hits when you don’t have the puck

 

[sampollock]

Revass is a waste of a spot

 

[Czechboy]

B's just look way too comfortable. Leafs need to pick up the hate.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Surely Toronto roars back here give us something boys
