I was listening to Overdrive this morning (I think it was Fridays show?) and the "boys" were falling all over themselves shoveling up excuses for Matthews season, hidden injuries, exhaustion etc etc, basically finding and excusing his piss poor performance's this year. Just like a lot of peeps here do, I'm not saying he didn't play some good hockey this year, because he did occasionally.
I thought to myself what if it was Marner having this kind of season, what if Marner just sort of day'd to day it for far too many days. Marner would be getting crucified, but as normal all quiet on the Matthews front. I even heard some people saying how it looked like his game was coming around against Florida, talk about being in denial!
