Doesn't matter how many goals you score if you let the other team score more. You could score 150 goals a season and still be a liability to your team. (Not to say Matthews is, it's just more an indictment of how people value statistics on their own)
My point was more, elite players usually look elite even if they're not producing.

How long before the Leafs give into Marner and Matthews wanting to play with one another? And whining like little bitches if they're not allowed to.

They sure know how to disappear once games actually matter and they can't chase regular season stats.

Fun fact: Matthews doesn't even get a point per game in the playoffs. 44 points in 50 playoff games. Soon so be 51. LOL

What does that have to do with what I said?

Matthews already hit the post in this game after beating Swayman and set up Tavares for 2 tap in's.

He's gotten some shots, but if they don't hit the net he looks like any other middle-aged 20 whatever year old.

He has 5 shots and has created every single Leafs chance tonight.


Gave Tavares an empty-net tap-in that was missed.


The Leafs have been all over Boston tonight, but the goalie can't make a save to save his life, and the other one doesn't let a goal in.


And the zebras have obviously gotten word to call it tight on 1 team.

That's brutal about Druoin! Such a silly play too. Feel for him and that Avs-Jets series was already looking to be very close.

How the heck can a 70 goal scorer look so ineffective. A person who had never watched a hockey game would have no idea Matthews is considered a top player in the league by watching this game.
The reason he finished at 69 is the same he's middling at best in the playoffs. All the skill in the world - no bite to his game. It's sad cause there is a real 'all world' talent there.

They had home ice last year, they'll have to play better in Toronto if they want to get back into the series

They won the series in tampa

I know that because I was at game 5 in Toronto hoping they would finish them off then. They didn’t, but they finished them in game 6 in tampa

Same as I voted in the poll this year
