[Teeder Keon]

Drum roll please ...........
Our Leafs and Leaf nation are going through some pre playoff anxiety with the post season around the corner and our mighty Blue and White jockeying for position and possible home ice advantage . They are also trying to work out some kinks and fine tuning their playoff game and healing up for hopefully a long run in this years playoffs ......
In light of our special St . Pats throw back Jerseys and reminiscing about our great history .

Matthews is not number 1 yet. He needs to play more games. He hasnt been a top 5 player in the league for any of his seasons, while gilmour was 2nd or 3rd best player for a couple. And sundin was consistently great. Matthews has the talent to become number 1 but he needs more time to prove himself.

Im a big Mathews fan but having him on a list already is crazy. He may never win a playoff round and be gone in five years. Who knows. He could become the greatest leaf but it’s way to early.
