Player Discussion Matthew Knies | Built for the Playoffs

[Confucius]

Now tied with Tavares for points, good job so far.

That’s only because Marner feeds him, without Mitch he wouldn’t be nearly as impressive

You still have to finish the setup. Knies rarely misses when an opportunity presente itself

Core 5 player.

He is sooooo good. Honestly probably my third favourite player on the team after Willy and Matthews. Textbook power forwards with top line skill are unicorns.

Knies was apparently told by the ref not to use his hands so much to screen the goalie.

Finally a Leaf willing to push the rules a bit..If you're not cheating, you're not trying

This guy needs an A next year.... I don't care who its taken from

Does Knies get consideration for the Olympics next year?

Late to the party but yes.

US has a team that avg age is 24.1 at Worlds. He fits right in

Yes Willy as well for sure, can't believe I forgot about him. I was gifted a Matthews jersey for my birthday in his rookie year, otherwise the only jerseys I've paid for were a discounted Rielly Toronto Arenas jersey and a Kadri jersey from 2013.

I've never bought or worn a jersey before with someones name on the back, but I caught Matty playing in Switz before he was drafted and my Dad asked me afterwards if I picked up a jersey and I was just like, f***... that woulda been a nice to have.

I kinda had a feeling he would end up a Leaf.
