Oh. Lol. Than carry on, and the world hasn’t changed. My floor dropped at the self awareness for a while, guess it was unwarranted. Lol.
yeah. sure thing.

I think Mo was a little underrated. The players are buying into his system and it is working. Of course having better personnel at nearly every position since he started here has definitely helped.
Matthews is more susceptible to being dragged down?
This is a whole new narrative and first time I’ve heard this. Up until now it’s been Matthews drives his line and lifts players up.
Im not disagreeing, just first time I’ve seen a leaf fan say this.
And Laine is helping his team on to the 2nd round and Matthews...not so much.This doesn't even make sense to me, there's next to no reason to even compare these two. Matthews is a number one center since he entered the league at 19 and is one of the most if not the most important player for his team's success. Laine is currently a third line winger who's lucky if he's considered in the top 6 of his team's most important players. It's like when the smallest kid in the class picks a fight with the biggest knowing the teacher is behind them to bail them out. Oddly enough, that is about the level of intelligence behind the torch carriers of this "debate".

Ron Hainsey helped his team to a cup victory last year, does that make him part of the top 6 d-men in the league? Weak post, weak mind.And Laine is helping his team on to the 2nd round and Matthews...not so much.
Soft player, soft team.
I wouldn't want you to hurt yourself.Wha..? I can't even...
Leafs are a weak team...Ron Hainsey helped his team to a cup victory last year, does that make him part of the top 6 d-men in the league? Weak post, weak mind.
I think Matthews and Laine should hop on a computer and spend copious amounts, and use selective facts, to argue about which fan base is better.
Boston finished 11 points better than Minnesota. Winnipeg finished 13 points better than Minnesota.

TIL: the 2nd leading goal scorer in the NHL is a third line winger.This doesn't even make sense to me, there's next to no reason to even compare these two.

This is a thread about the playoffs of Laine and Matthews. Everyone is dumping on Matthews for under performing while raising Laine up like he's some sort of demi god because he's been able to produce. When the simple fact is Laine plays for a better team and has more support, he get's easier matchups because he's Winnipeg's 3rd best forward. Matthews is the Leafs top dog, he doesn't have Wheeler and Scheifele. The same way Pasta for Boston is lighting it up. It's because he's with Bergeron and Marchand. If Pasta and Laine had to be the top dog on their team's they wouldn't be able to beat the Leafs. Their teams are better and they're producing more offense because they have more super stars. Not because of Laine or Pasta individually. They're third wheels. Matthews is the Leafs engine.I'm not sure why you keep trying to compare Boston to Minnesota.
The Jets - Wild series was 2 in the west vs 4 in the west.
The Bruins - Leafs series is 2 in the east vs 4 in the east.
Winnipeg and Boston get easier match ups because they finished 2 in their respective conferences, the Leaf and Wild get tougher matchup because they finished 4th.
And Laine is helping his team on to the 2nd round and Matthews...not so much.
Soft player, soft team.
You can’t read.I'm really not sure what you are trying to say, are you saying Laine is a key part of Winnipeg? (he isn't) His team is literally winning games with him producing zero?
The reason that Laine is doing so much better than Matthews is because the Jets are so dam deep and the Jets have lots of other good players and Laine does not need to be the "guy".
The Leafs needs to fix their depth issues and get better on D.
Leafs are a weak team...
The Jets played the Bruins a couple of weeks ago, Tanev got a hat trick against Bergeron's lune. Matthews is a poor playoff performer, it is obvious. Laine is going on to the 2nd round...nuff said.
So basically Laine is doing better than Matthews because his teammates carry him...awesome argument haha
Must have forgotten about your 2 best players Wheeler and Scheifele lol
