Matthew Knies

[sxvnert]

Knies is a f***in hero.



(couldnt find an appreciation thread)

 

[sunstersun]

He's everything we've every wanted in a LW.

Physical. Able to grind. High energy. Lots of skill also.

He's just made for the playoff game.

 

[Menzinger]

. The guys playing like a legitimate top 6 forward and is dominating

 

[The Shadow]

This is a big game player. A must keep. He may go down as one of the most clutch Leaf players ever. And he’s only 21!

 

[Bomber0104]

Impressive two game stretch from Knies.

To take control of a lot of key moments and shape the outcome, it's great to see from a player his age.

He's got a lot more to offer us yet.

 

[WillyC]

What a game he played tonight… it’s scary how good Knies is going to be.

Him and Woll have been the leafs best players helping this turnaround, just unreal

Certainly hope so dawg (fist bump)

 

[Schennanigans]

He’s the guy you want for the playoffs. He’s got all the tools that will help you win in the playoffs.

 

[Maple Leaf]

i thought this guy is overrated but actually he is underrated

 

[ClarkSittler]

Knies is turning into a beast, that big power forward we've wanted for so long. Had an amazing game tonight.

Knies has been playing pretty damn good again in the playoffs. Not putting up huge numbers as yet, but he's come in clutch again. Gets to the net to put in a bounce from a Tavares shot for a game winner in game 5 then goes for the puck and a nice pass to a speeding Nylander for a breakaway goal in game 6. Can he come up big again in game 7? One can only hope!

In college it was always very noticable that he did the little things right. He's got lots of skill and points will come more with time, but he's a total package of a player

 

[Eternal Leaf]

Perfect power forward when he's on his game.

Will be a beast as he gets older.

 

[JT AM da real deal]

He is growing up before us folks .. fa kid has what it takes

 

[arso40]

Let's give knies some love he's probably been our best forward since matthews went down

 

[Kaners PPGs]

Where the hell was this version of Knies all season? He's been a beast the last two games!

 

[Kazparov]

He's just made for the playoff game.

^^^^ Shows up in big games. Takes a hit to make a play, heads to the front of the net, doesn't back down, when the other team pushes him he pushes back!

Playoff warrior.

 

[ToneDog]

Knies' coming out party. Kid is built for the playoffs. Mentality and physically.

 

[Larcos_Unal]

During the offseason Knies needs to focus on acceleration and shot.
If he gains half a step he's gonna be able to go wide on dmen and drive to the net, he'll be a menace.

He should spend his summer at Auston's house and just work on his shot, the release is a little slow even though he can shoot it hard.

He'll be a 25-30 goal scorer in his sleep

Knies is built for the playoffs.

And like a man, not a kid.

He was up and down during the regular season, but looks like this might be his time of year.

Only if they agree not to talk contracts and negotiations.

 

[Trapper]

We may have lost Matthews but we still have Matthew (Knies that is). He’s only getting stronger and more playoff experience now.
Solid performances.
