It's one thread of many that pop up daily of "Leaf player vs X". I've criticized my fanbase quite a bit, but sure, pointing out this website, Leaf fan or not, is obsessed with the Leafs (which it is) means I'm "drinking the kool aid" (it was Flavor Aid at Jonestown btw).
And you think that’s all people from other fanbases “obsessed” with the Leafs? You think maybe you aren’t just seeing what you want to see?

Leafs fans are the equivalent of that kid who holds his finger an inch from your face, but yells that he isn’t touching you.

Tough poll. Matthews seems like the obvious choice. But Gaudreau is one of the few franchise wingers in the game you can actually build around and be succesful. Value for contract included, it's Gaudreau AINEC.

Gaudreau can actually drive play and doesnt dissapear for long stretches. All Matthews has is his shot but is invisible everywhere else. He is a better skating Laine playing centre. Not to mention his overpaid contract.

Johnny is great but no GM would take him as a franchise starter over Auston. The guy is just built like a dominant centre and with the skill to boot. I want to see how Johnny does in this year's playoffs, him and Auston have both had up and down series.

........and yet has had injury issues. Johnny, other than having his finger broken is injury free.

Auston is a great player, but he is not better than Johnny. Not even close.

Hmm, yet he has never played a full season in the league...seems like he gets dinged up unless he’s sleeping in.

Really.....this is the hill you're going to die on?

Matthews had more games missed last year than Gaudreau's entire career.

But hey.....knock yourself out!

Malkin and Crosby have missed plenty of games throughout their career...is Johnny better than them? He’s also missed less than McDavid. Johnny is great but wingers aren’t valued the same as franchise centers.

That’s because you have completely drunk the kool-aid. Leafs stuff gets shoved down everyone’s throat, you’re blind to it except for the response, and now you see a simple comparison thread and immediately take it as “obsession” because Leaf fans tend to live in Bizarro world.
Uhhmmm that's because it is obsession. If it isn't trying desperately to beat the Leafs talent in polls its making threads about offer sheeting the Leafs talent or invading Leaf prospect threads conjuring up fake scouting about the prospect being a Sam Gagner, HF has been obsessed with taking the Leafs down a peg for a reason that's for the most part in their heads, and its hilarious when you think about it.

And faking ignorance about it is just as comical.

This one is Gaudreau for sure right now. 4th in scoring, Matthews needs to actually put together a healthy, dominant season before this would be close. Gaudreau is on pace for 45 goals this season, a number Matthews has never reached as well.

Taking contracts into account? This one shouldnt be close really.

Leaf fans : “Hey let’s make every possible discussion about the leafs, nothing else matters.”

Other Leaf fans: “I agree, leafs leafs leafs”

Leaf fans: “wow everyone is obsessed with the leafs”

Anyone else: “I’m not obsessed with the Leafs”

Leaf fans: “look the leafs were mentioned, clearly they’re obsessed”.

Why do you think all these posters are non leaf fans? Leaf fans are everywhere, they’re like cockroaches. Have you not noticed no non-Leaf fans have said everyone else is obsessed with leafs? Do you think you might just be projecting?

Yes everyone is obsessed with the team being constantly shoved down their throat and their delusional fans. When people say they’re sick of 40 minute panel discussions on what deli Matthews ate lunch at, they’re lying, they can’t get enough. Everyone is secretly a Leafs fan and just pretending to like every other team.

Do you think people are obsessed with taxes because they are forced to pay them?

Matthews easily.


Toronto already has Marner who is better than Gaudreau who play the same style of game.

You know, the easiest way to prove I'm wrong would be to not respond. The fact that you're still arguing in this thread goes directly against your whole "we don't care" argument.
