Player Discussion Auston Matthews Discussion

[leafsfan5]

Getting him away from Marner and playing with Domi is the best thing Keefe has ever done

 

[Mickey Marner]

Best playoff game of his career

 

[WillyC]

He’s back at this on Wednesday… he was on a mission tonight.

 

[34]

Matthews was a monster tonight. Dominated.


Best goal scorer in the game.

 

[mapleleafs34]

PAPI BABY LFG

 

[DraftSchmaft]

3 points. 6 hits. 8 shots.

 

[WillNy29]

He was a machine tonight arguably his best playoff performance ever and that takes into consideration how much of a monster he was from Games 3-6 last year in round 1.

 

[Seras]

He's a pretty good hockey player

 

[Havoc]

Those 16 face off wins aren't getting the recognition they deserve.

It's pretty evident that when Matthews has Domi and Bertuzzi on his wings, his play is much more elevated. He seems much more engaged and physical. When with Marner, he seems to sit back more and allow the puck to come to him as opposed to going after it. Marner obviously hasn't been himself since returning from injury, which actually allows us to roll 3 lines. Once Mcmann returns as well.

Bertuzzi-Matthews-Domi
Mcmann-Tavares-Marner
Jarnkrok-Holmberg-Nylander
Knies-Kampf-Reaves

Feel bad for Robertson as he's been pretty good these playoffs, I would have him actually ahead of Knies but we know that won't happen.

 

[Niagara Bill]

He is playing like a real leader this series. He is dominate.

 

[Peasy]

Wasn't even Keefe's doing. The divine intervention of Marner getting hurt finally gave us this combo.

And yet you got guys in the media like Jonas writing articles to put mitchy boy back with Matthews

 

[janesy12]

Absolute monster in this game. Keep Marner far away from him.

 

[CapspaceKiller]

He's been really good through 2 games, excellent in game 2.

It might be his best playoff game.

Last year, Game 4 against Tampa he also put the team on his back and carried them to a win and people where saying the same thing.

Bertuzzi and him need to stay together for the rest of the series. 2 best players... BY FAR.

Marner nowhere to be seen, awful game 2.

 

[The Podium]

To the people criticizing Matthews past performances, his play away from the puck has been consistent over the past few years. Last nights game everything clicked, but he has been a playoff beast for years now. The only ones who think otherwise are the box score peepers.

 

[Jojalu]

Matthews led the game in shots, points, hits, faceoff %.

What a game

 

[Gary Nylund]

Exactly this! Had Marner not gotten hurt, this would have never happened. Oh yeah I almost forgot, Keefe sucks. That is all.

 

[fahad203]

That was a great game by him. Great all around game. Should prove to him that he's capable of playing the complete game

I hope he continues to play a similar game

 

[HamiltonNHL]

AM 34 = Wide Receiver

 

[Maple Leaf]

Now we just need Styles and Money to get going and oh

 

[ORRFForever]

He gets a LOT of hate from me and others but, last night, he was worth every penny. Well done.

 

[TMLeafer]

Time to get to #1 this year!

The marker, which broke a 2-2 tie in the third period, was the sixth playoff game-winner of Matthews' career, moving into a tie for fourth all-time in Maple Leafs franchise history.

Ted Kennedy owns the all-time franchise mark with 10 playoff game-winners, followed by Frank Mahovlich at nine and Mats Sundin at seven.
