I don’t see any logical explanation for saying Schiefle is “clearly” better than Matthews. Matthews scores more, with inferior line mates and less PP time.
Ya finally one Matthews can win honestly.Waiting for someone to Aho vs Matthews poll.

To be fair, this one isn't close right now.
Before he got hurt, Scheife was legit one of the top 5 players in the league; maybe top 3.
Dont think it says much that Matthews loses PP time to Bozak. More proof Babcock is overrated.
I think overrated is fair only because of how much he was paid and how highly touted he was on the market. He has some major flaws but he seems inspiring to the playersDon't know if overrated is the correct word for it. Babcock seems to be a great teacher and motivator but is bizarre about some player usage.
There have been many nights where Komarov has played more minutes than Matthews, or even lead the team in ice time. Hyman is glued to Matthews no matter how bad his hands are. Polak is a dumpster fire who can't play his way out of the lineup.

Also before Matthew's got injured he was on pace to be in the top 10 possibly to- 5 in scoring to this point so you could also say that before Matthew's got injured he was playing as a top 5 player in the NHL too
And if Laine would have continued the level of play he had before his concussion he would have won the Calder. At the end of the day ‘what ifs’ are just excusesHe really was, and it isn't due to the amount of points he had either, it was due to his level of play which he hasn't really regained since his first injury. Babcock even said so last night.

I can recall a TON of posters from a certain fanbase claiming this was not a legitimate excuse for Laine to use last year.
how quickly the goal posts move.

Laine's still not as good as Matthews was last year despite being 5 months older.........No he wouldn't have. That is just wishful thinking. I also never even claimed he would continue to play like a top 5 player, I just said he was and hasn't regained his form since injury. It's okay, Laine will be great one day so hold your horses. Right now you atleast have 2 others who are better than Matthews on their own (lol).
