I agree. Looked like he held his own out there which is nice to see. I hope they give him a few more games to see what we got in him. Ideally he can become our 4th line center with Kampf moving back up to the 3rd line.
I thought he played with a lot of pace and poise down the middle. He seemed to play higher than Kerfoot does, which I actually liked because it put him in better position to get back and help defensively.
Nope - just another hater who happened to play in the NHL. Same as spittin' chiclets guy whitney I think his name is - just a cement head hater. I don't know if you have noticed but a vast majority of former players - not very bright and VERY full of themselves and speak very much the same as any blow-hard but yes they can big league you
No team or player is perfect, so our team or player not being perfect does not necessitate filling the post-game threads of great wins with complaints, much less complaints about meaningless things that wouldn't actually improve them as hockey players, but merely conform them to your personal, unrealistic preference of between-play conduct. Matthews has plenty of informed people to help him improve in actual beneficial ways, and plenty of internal drive. I don't think the reigning Hart trophy winner really needs your tips.
You can lump Methot into that - better player than these plugs, but also a cement head. Colby Armstrong, too. They parrot the same takes and overestimate how much their "grit" matter while Hall of Famers were carrying them.
Even Crosby stopped taking people's shit over time, and for good reason since everyone took liberties and almost turned his brain into mush. Sid would've levelled that little prick
He's leading the team in scoring and has the even strength monkey off of his back. He will have a great season.
The Leaf board should be the best place to have conversations about the Leafs, and celebrate a dominant, much needed win, where we beat the other team in the underlying metrics, the scoreboard, and the scrums. Something for everybody! Unfortunately, even a post-win thread is full of complaints about the most minor, meaningless things.
In his younger days, when they were winning Cups, he was one of the dirtiest players in the league. Puck watchers wouldn’t see it, but he’d give a little jab spear to the ribs, groin, or a sweet little tap to the bare wrist. Sometimes he’d make it look like he was off balance or didn’t see the guy to get away with it.
Not much to be honest. And not to be dishonest, standing next to and touching the guy next to him is exactly what 34 did.
So don't read it then? Use the ignore function, you can have your own little personal safe space if you like.
