Matthews n’a pas marqué un but dans la LNH depuis 42 jours (les Jeux olympiques au milieu). Son dernier but est survenu contre les Sabres le 27 janvier.
Someone said chill because of the break when he went 7 leafs games with no goals…

I hope he doesn’t score again this season. Let’s tank
Floyd-Mcgregor
The guy is a bust.

Maybe he needs a conditioning stint with the Marlies.

The team sucks but are we really gonna imply this guy cant score goals anymore
thewolfshead
Max Domi isn’t maximizing Matthews? Huh, shocking.

Not sure if hes given up or hurt but hes lobbing softies at the net. Not scoring like that.

I think Sundin could come out of retirement and still have a goal quicker than 42 days.

Leafs are tanking. Message to the team has been, go out there and skate, because Rogers loves to stack their cash from ticket sales and concessions (“we’re not here to sell jerseys”… yeah, right!), but don’t try your hardest because we’re trying to secure a top 5 draft pick.

Honestly, shut him down and pretend he has a crippling wrist injury that needs to be rehabbed to save face.

Also I think it’s fascinating that Nylander is relentlessly scrutinized in Toronto media while AM continues to be given a long leash. You would think it was Wily who hasn’t scored 42 days.

my guy is helping us tank and we still complaining

It would be great if they would at least acknowledge something is wrong. He’s still a very good player – he makes plays, generates offense, wins battles, is a takeaway machine, etc. That said, the other day I was watching clips from games 5 years ago, and it is so obviously clear that he’s not the same player. The guy 5 years ago would come in one on one against the defender and just rip shots from the circles. He was a weapon from anywhere – he’s just not anymore. Most of his shots are one timed snapshots. He mixes in the occasional wrist shot, but it’s not as dangerous as he once was.
I see a lot of people pointing to his Olympic (points) performance as a reason why this could be a coaching issue. While I don’t think using him as a defense-first player is the best use, I watched all of those USA games and let me tell you – he was the same player as he is with the Leafs currently. He was not the old Matthews.

So I thought Matthews would go on a heater after the Olympics. I kept picking him to score on the Tims app. Obviously he has not but I keep picking him. It’s helping with the tank so I shall not stop until he flukes one in.

He’s mailed it in. What an awful look for the captain of the team.

The teams in shambles does it really matter

Who cares….fire him.

Looks bad yeah, but at this point of the season it’s too late to try and get anything going, not to mention doesn’t make sense if we want to try and salvage our pick.
It’s not like his value is gonna tank, nor are we looking to trade him before the next season. So if he wants to slack and suck, better now than the next season when we try again.
At this point I’m all in on the team performing like hot garbage to finish the rest of the season. Fans should also stop watching to send a message to the suits that this is what happens when you allow your management staff to fuck shit up without consequences. Somebody needs to be fired for the deadline fiasco.

You guys know they are trying to tank right? If they don’t come bottom 5 they lose a 1st around draft pick….
DevOpsMakesMeDrink
As a guy who was at the game last night he was dogging it very obviously. Terrible look for the captain but he and most of the team are not trying.
It reflect poorly on the team and worse on management for making no coaching change especially when it was evident by December change was needed. Likely would have saved the season

Sabres game was the last one I went too, sorry guys I’m cursed

Maybe Marner was more important to this team doing well than fans want to admit.

You think that’s bad, he goes entire summers without scoring. Far longer than 42 days. (This stat is rediculous)

He looks like a wrestler who got off the roids. Just a shell of himself out there. But still a beast on face-offs and good defensive stick!

You could say he is having a cold streak
I’m not a hockey expert but that seems bad

What being forced to play like Phil Danault does to mf.
Seriously next season 34 needs to be off the PK except for at the end and take a lot more OZ draws.
What Berube is doing is treating a Mustang like its a Bronco and being surprised when the car gets wrecked because you took it off-roading
