Player Discussion Mike Matheson

[ginomini]

It's funny around here,Mike makes a gaff and you don't stop hearing about it, when Hutson makes gaffs,crickets.lol

Because Hutson makes gaffs trying plays, he makes mistakes because he tries risky plays. Matheson just makes stupid mistakes on plays with zero upside. Take the 2nd goal from yesterday, why does he swat at the puck as if he was trying to kill a fly? there is zero upside to this attempt. Just use your hand or wait until the puck drops...

Don’t you worry , we’re in the shiny new toy phase, once he’s getting paid $8M+ usual suspects will be jumping all over him unless he’s breaking Bobby Orr records…lets not even address potential sophomore slump

Is it cherry picking season already?

 

[WeThreeKings]

Matheson just needs to apply his PK posture to his 5 on 5 play.

Matheson is a whole cherry field, youd need an industrial entreprise to be able yo pick his cherries.

I'm not even going to pretend I know what you're trying to say but clue me in if you want

Indeed.

He seems to hurt himself by trying to do too much at ES... He's got the skating & stickhandling to be an elite dman, but his risk/reward instincts are off and that drives a lot of those gaffes.

Reminds me of a young QB that holds on to the ball too long or forces bad throws instead of just checking down or getting rid of the ball.

Problem is that he's a vet and still hasn't figured out when to take what the opponent gives you, and that sometimes the safe play is exactly the best way to help the team.

In the PK, he seems to get it and with his skill set is very effective as a result

If he isnt willing to drop down to playing 18ish minutes a game then trade him. He's a liability.

 

[Habitant#1]

Guys, Matheson is just in the wrong chair: he should be sitting in the press box

U had me in the first half, ngl.

 

[Hullois]

I would not mind if he's included in a package for the 2c. So f***ing tired of him trying his best to shoot at shinpads 95% of the time

 

[HabsForHire]

now that the season is over......idc I'm gonna keep hating gtfo

[larek]

He should have been traded after the 60 plus point season
Even with his garbage D he supplied O
This season big fall

 

[Whitesnake]

Don,t be surprised if he's back. But at the very worst...let's hope his role is reduce to No4...at best. And PK time. No pp time.

 

[sbhatt]

I'd ship him. Need some big, capable shut down D-men in the mix.

It's bizarre how Matheson could make these low-IQ, rookie mistakes at his age.

Marc-Andre Bergeron was at least useful on the powerplay. Even fn' Bouillon didn't make mistakes like him.

Meh, I liked seeing is make the playoffs. Little chance that happens if we had traded him.

I do think there's a good chance he gets moved this summer IF we can land a top 4RD.

But I doubt he'll be moved unless we do.

 

[McGees]

He's a 7D.
Fight me.

 

[Mrb1p]

He's a 7D.
Fight me.

I've been saying this for so long. He's Erik Gustafsson, he's always been Erik Gustafsson.

 

[Skip Bayless]

I feel like he's at his best when he doesn't touch the puck.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Do the right thing, Hughes. It’s time to move on.

 

[Mrb1p]

I feel like he's at his best when he doesn't touch the puck.

Me too. Maybe not even the ice, what if he also didn't touch the atmosphere ? Yeah that sounds nice.
