Oh, he'll snap out of it alright. But maybe I'm just wary of knowing this B Game is always lurking around the corner when you're hoping he just takes it to the next level. I don't need 2 hat tricks in a week and then revert to a complete liability the next.
Matthews needs a foot up the ass every once in a while. It's bizarre; MOST players with his abilities and body type don't disappear for stretches.

Personally, I think his entire mindset towards playing every year has changed since he was taken out by that asshole Trouba... Before that he was a physical machine, now he seems to be more tenative.

He's more the same than ever. Inattentive defensively and poor puck management is the story of his career

He's kind of a flow state rusher. When his instincts are on he's dynamite joining the rush, going end to end or starting a breakout solo. When he's off he's just completely out of sync and all that stuff you mentioned.
