Rest in Peace Johnny Bower
Just realized it was yet another GWG for the GWG machine. I know it means less in a 5-1 game, but still, he led the league in that category during the regular season.

Being ultra skilled, and incorporating that truculence will take him to the next level. The next next level.

Man what a game from him last night
When he was in the ice the whole game was so lopsided. It felt like we almost always had the puck and when we didn’t, he was going to go and get it.
Just dominant in every aspect of the game. That kind of game is what legends are made of.

I wanted to see him try to get to that Mackinnon on a mission type level of play and he delivered. Now again for Game 3...

So Matthews trajectory has gone on a slight decline from Game 2 to Game 4, failing to produce offense while helping the team win 2 games in the road. Game 5 he just fell off the cliff. No physical engagement, not a lot of clean plays with the puck, not focused, no scoring opportunities, terrible work on the PP. No killer instinct in a close out game. Be better for Game 6.

Matthews needs to step it up too. Don’t know what the f*** is wrong with him but he better pick it up and fast.
Glad Matthews is getting ticky tacky assist but can be please put the puck in the net?

Matthews is playing through an injury. Hes gonna be fine. In fact, if you are a sports bettor, you should bet on him scoring next game. I won't say bet house, but if you can afford it, you can make money on this in game 6.

Would be nice if Matthews considered contributing just a little bit on Saturday. I get it might be hard with the loud fans and such but small contributions from everyone can go a long way.

When Tavares got decapitated in game one, that was the chance for AM34 to show that this is his team and will it to victory. In game 2 he did that, but since then, not looking like he’s got it in him.
If the leafs are moving on, dude needs to pick up his game in a big way. This is his moment.

13 goals in 30 career playoffs games combined with effort the top line has been putting in...I might bet $6-7 or something like that. Nothing that would annoy me to lose, that’s for sure.

Thought we were seeing a breakthrough after game 2 and his performance last year in the play ins, but he’s really been quiet in the last two.

seems like he's not even emotionally invested anymore

Either he is hurt or he is being shadowed relentlessly by MTL and that’s why Nylander has so much room out there.
But if he is hurt he shouldn’t be playing. Period.

Why the f*** are people so worried about a piddly amount of habs fans in the stands on saturday? Its not gonna make one lick of difference... if anything just be happy we get to finish them in front of their fans

Finally Matthews and Marner are looking like McDavid and Draisaitl but not in a good way unfortunately.
Matthews simply has too many playoff games where he is a non-factor.

They’re easily the weakest team to qualify for the playoffs. In non covid divisions, they don’t sniff the playoffs. Hell, the jets and oilers possibly miss in pre covid divisions too.
The fact that this series even has the possibility of going 7 games says a lot more about us than it does about them tbh.

As a fairly respected sports bettor, I can say I am in on this bet for a couple bills. I can also say, that their is some real positive indicators he will score. I have not bet him to score last 2 games. As the system I adhere to for my bets showed him a pass. Whereas next game, he has an activated Mars. Let's just say he's likely to score.
But as I always say, never bet more then what you're comfortable with. Be it $1 or 1k. Or any arbitrary #.
I'll be pretty heavy on leafs winning and Matthews scoring next game though as all indicators are pointing to.
Good luck boys

Seriously, if the Habs play like they did in the last two in Montreal, their fans will boo them off the ice. It’s an absolute non-factor and probably worse for them than us.
