Sure. Going well so far. Just like Laine was going to win the Calder. Just like boeser was going to outscore Matthews. Just like Peterson was going to be a 40’goal rookie ahead of Matthews. . Just like marner is the next Corey Locke.

lather rinse repeat.

For all those mentions.

-Matthews > McDavid

“puck on the stick for game 7....I’m taking Matthews”

-Matthews was supposed to win the Hart and Art Ross in his second season.
-The Leafs have the best LHD in the league
-Leafs have a top ten d, no doubt (LOL)
-Morgan Rielly should win the Norris
-Andersen for Vezina

Should I continue?

Threads and posts.

Point is: For every crying about how the Leafs are picked on, there’s always an hyperbole thread started.

If you don’t like a poll, don’t vote. Don’t participate. Not hard.

Huh. A few random posts are the same as. Every single day creating a voted poll?


Then why is there a separate
Polls forum?

You know.. for a bunch of people who hate hearing about the Leafs and their players it's nice to know that the Leafs and their players are frequently used as the measuring stick for the rest of the league.

I think it’s more that TSN and the other Toronto media frequently over hypes Leaf players. I mean crowning Matthews as a top 5 player was really premature. You have to expect there will be some push back.
And while I picked EP in the poll I wouldn’t call him a top 5 player yet. There has to be some objective evidence when you start doing that.

Both look to be comparable in the goal scoring department but Pettersson's vision and IQ is far superior to Matthews'. I don't see Matthews ever becoming anywhere near as effective a playmaker.

Pettersson.
How the hell do they look comparable as goal scorers?

Pettersson has 32 goals in 83 career games, Matthews is averaging around 45 over 83 games, and the age difference is only a year.

You’re probably Eastern Canadian and ignorant. We don’t worship Toronto.

Lengthy evaluation of both is Pettersson all day.

Inform yourself of players outside your Toronto and Eastern Canadian bubble.

I see Leafs and Leafs players being brought up constantly in threads that have nothing to do with them just to take a needless shot at them.

I think Pettersson plays better in his own zone and will be nominated for multiple Selke's as well as being a top 10 scorer.
I take him. But its close and Matthews is very good

One player is having a great season and scoring 18 points in 12 games. The other is having a poor season with a team that’s having a very poor start and still managed to score 11 goals and 16 points.

I hope Matthews doesn’t start picking up speed for Nuck fans and Anti-Leafers sake.

I would hate for this poll to show how ignorant you all are.

reminds me of the Matthews vs Aho nonsense

I wouldn’t say EP is having a great season. I think he started out very slow and has been steadily getting better.
Anyways it’s just a poll, no need to take it too seriously. Both are great young players.

AM is definitely a more proflic goal scorer but Petey is clearly a better playmaker. I like EP's overall game/compete more but I can totally understand those that would prefer AM34.
