A 75% Matthews is significantly better than a 100% Noah Gregor.I would not play Auston unless he’s 100% tonight… it’s not worth it.
If he can go, you play him.

Play him on the 3rd line and let him face the plugs...hope he can pot one on the PPA 75% Matthews is significantly better than a 100% Noah Gregor.

Play him in his usual #1 centre role. If it looks like he can't handle it, then move him down. And I'd say you play him if he is at least 60%.Play him on the 3rd line and let him face the plugs...hope he can pot one on the PP
I'm sorry to be so blunt but the above is pure horse shit.This unfortunately is almost completely true about our superest of superstars.
You've got a guy in your dressing room who demands the most money and whom previous management treated like Lord Fauntelroy and that same guy sags into non-compete mode in the playoffs.
It's a real question; do any of you guys really wonder why the team doesn't win, why they don't want to put up with the bruises and pain when Auston won't?
I saw a little more compete in him this year, a little more determination to get it done if only in the end to add to his own edification, I was hoping it was going to translate into the post season, but we may never know. Another question and obviously we don't know what is going on with him, but would say MacKinnon be playing with whatever is bothering Auston?
Agreed.Play him in his usual #1 centre role. If it looks like he can't handle it, then move him down. And I'd say you play him if he is at least 60%.
Pro hockey isn't anything like beer league, but keep up the good work.I'm sorry to be so blunt but the above is pure horse shit.
LOL. I will.Pro hockey isn't anything like beer league, but keep up the good work.
Complete f**kin nonsenseHe is the first player you should be trading, his face after he didn't get goal #70 tells it all
- compared to game 7 loss, you can tell he cared more to get 70.
Yeah, Marner, Tavares, etc, they make mistakes, sure, but at least they try, yeah they fail, but try
Matthews doesn't even try, when he is not feeling it that is.
Most Leafs fans are crying about usual suspects but Matthews.. you always find ways not to criticize...
he is injured, he is sick, he is not 100%, he must be this and that, if he was 100%... bull, no one is 100%
after like 70% of the regular season is done, not to mention when the playoffs start, excuses.
Matthews just isn't good enough, period, he isn't a leader either, he doesn't care about the Leafs, not enough,
easy to see. - you gotta trade him, you are, play better without him

In real types of hockey games with proper defending and structure not the pre season like games in the regular season Matthews just disappears.
Yes but it is not enough in a game 7 he must be much better end of excuses and early playoffs exits for Toronto and i want them to win this game same strory every year.Matthews played 4 2/3rd games this series, while injured or ill for 3 of them, and still led the Leafs in playoffs scoring this year.

Regular season player but disappears in the big moments. This is why he can’t be compared to the McKinnons, McDavid, Draisaitl etc. they actually show up in both regular season and playoffs.
