“A day without sunshine is like, you know, night.”
I watched the Leaf hi-lites this morning. Matthews scored 2 goals but was a minus 3 and directly gave the puck twice to the Rags for goals. If he was a ranger player he would have got an 2 assists. Funny how the media focuses on the goalie and they blame just him.
The replay shows Matthews on the side wall in a scrum blindly kick it to his own slot area and goal. On the rags empty netter he just threw it out front blindly again, no one there. He also lost two back to back face offs giving up 2 goals in 6 seconds.
This is why we value Bergy so much, heck even Bjork will not do those things. Yet the ticker will say Matthews 2 goals. I think under Babcock he would have developed into a complete player. The new coach is just letting him play 100% run and gun style and riding his success on pure scoring.
AM will be like Kessel, soft and one dimensional for his career. Guys like Bergy will bear down on him in the playoffs, when it gets tighter and real. For the regular season AM will run up the goals and get the glory.
