I'm starting to forget anything Matheson's good at, tbh. Not a point producer, sucks shit defensively, isn't really as good in transition as he should be. Is this one of those "you just don't notice it, bro" situations?

Dude kinda sucks, especially given his contract.

TJ has really been helping his own cause this year with his ability to play the puck.

He's always been pretty decent about it but really helping himself this year it feels like.

DOC is way smarter than Lafferty and doesn't take the dumb penalties. He needs to play with a center who isnt Boyle. When is the last time he played with someone other than a fringe NHL center.
He’ll always have one of Simon or ZAR with him too.

Sully has it worked out so he never has to keep a kid up for too long because they’ll never put up the numbers that make mgmt and ownership notice.

I Love Scotch
McGinn is top 6 for me replacing Zucker.

He definitely leaves you wanting more.

The thing that annoys me about Matheson is he'll make a great skating play to get the puck out of danger and then instead of making a nice easy pass to someone he'll keep carrying it and skate it back into trouble.

It's like he can fly and get out of danger but lacks the hockey sense to know what to do with the puck after that.

Lucky to be up that period…the Habs, with a worse forward lineup, look like the more skilled team than the Pens…but we all knew this lol…

Yeah, I don't know. I recognize his bread and butter is in the transition game, but he's dumb as a f***ing stump, is a defensive liability, and doesn't really do anything of note offensively.

we have no forecheck plus our d-man are unusually passive tonight...Marino and Petts and Matheson not even trying to skate...good news a ton of luck and they can't be any worse...
McGinn-Geno-Rust would have Geno feeling like it’s 2016 again.

That’s basically Kunitz-Geno-Rust.
I love that
