To be fair, Matthews accidentally ran into someone last game. People used to accuse Sundin of being soft, most of that was blatant Swede hate, he was an absolute warrior. The other teams zeroed in on him relentlessly, he was the only star, and he not only survived, he thrived. Matthews needs to find something inside him, because he simply doesn’t have the jam or internal motor to truly be all he can.
It’s season 8 for him, he’s not gonna be finding anything. He is what he is.
I question whether he really cares about winning a cup at all honestly.
