Matthew Knies

[The Management]

Hamilton is what, 6'6 and 230 lbs? And Knies just rocked him. I don't think he expected to recover the puck after, or to make that little play at the blueline.

It's a great little sequence that shows what he can do with that size and those hands. I am hoping to see a bit more from him offensively this year, but the tools are all there.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

I love this kid.

I just want him to show a bit more offensive IQ. He looks a bit out of place with Matthews and Marner right now but they haven’t playing well either to boot as of yet.

 

[Antropovsky]

Love this kid.

He keeps this up and he will be a Leafs legend. I like him better than pretty much everyone else on the team already. Nice to see the power forward use his power to keep going forward.

Just dump trucked Hamilton.

Not sure what Hamilton was even doing there.

Trying to block him and didn't realise Knies is a bull on skates.

 

[PROUD PAPA]

My favorite Leaf player. AINEC

 

[shaner8989]

Wait another 2-3 years he will be one of the leagues best power forwards

 

[Maple Leaf]

Could use him net front presence twerkin on the PP

 

[Kazparov]

He was giving off some Legion of Doom vibes last game.

Yeah, I like his effort and how he throws his weight around a bit, but he doesn’t seem to have the offensive chops to play front line duty. At least not yet.

I don’t think the top line needs him either, he could add more on the other lines.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Je me souviens.

A lot of John Leclair in him

 

[The Iceman]

Anyone notice Knies played 21:06 last game.
That is the most I have seen him play in a regulation game.

Berube is playing the heck out of him. Watch this player take off.

 

[Sundinisagod]

His contract runs out after this season? If so, what does his next contract look like? Better get done soon as possible.

I think Berube is a big fan of the heavy brute game that Knies is bringing.

I would try and get him locked up at like 4.5 long term right now. Would even push to 5 if it gets it over the line.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

He needs to be signed asap don’t wait

 

[crump]

His goal Sat night was a hard hitting peice of work
Goal link
Runs Rusk into the boards in his own end , hammers I think it’s Acciari in the Pens end, beats his man to the net and knives a top corner shot into the net.

 

[Kazparov]

A lot of John Leclair in him

Exactly

It's been reported they've been in talks already for an extension.

Personally I'm a fan of locking him in longer term even if it means a higher caphit in the shorter term

 

[Its not your fault]

Hey man that sounded like people in here about Hyman. If he has the poise the rest will come.

Seen a photo of him don't think it was doctored his neck is thhhhiccck and if the rest of him is like that damn ... This hit seems

 

[Its not your fault]

Not sure what Hamilton was even doing there.

Learning players development paths are not to get in the way of.

 

[TheDoldrums]

Okay seriously extend this kid for as long as you can right now. You can see the confidence growing all the time. He’s bowling over people, taking the puck hard to the net. It’s not going to get any cheaper.

We have a history of putting guys in great positions to get points right before having to sign him. Why can’t we get ahead on a long term deal for once.

 

[thewave]

Looks awesome. PF type player we need. Love it keep it. Provision for cap

 

[CapspaceKiller]

He's going to be one of the best Power Forwards in the league and being a LW helps this team as well. He's getting meaner and meaner, but is also so fast and lethal near the net. When I watch him play he's looking to speed up the game and get into rough stuff at the same time...and I'm not seeing a lot of opponents wanting to match him lol. I think that's where the Legion of Doom stuff is coming in. Knies wants to play a fast and mean style, a total throwback of the 90s.
