With the way that Matthews has been playing while hurt this season, the Leafs actually play better without him. Don't get me wrong, even hurt Matthews is an above average player but his lack of finish due to the injury kills the team's offense. This is especially true on the power play. It seems that whenever Matthews is on the ice the Leafs stars are constantly trying to get him the puck and it is easy to see that he just cannot finish as he usually can. When Matthews was out the power play and offense in general looked far better.
