Matthews has zero interest in Toronto, dude looks homesick. Toronto —> Arizona E5.

 

[Sens With Benefits]

My guess is he ends up in Arizona. Less pressure too, which is good for his game.

Absolutely. There’s a reason he only signed for 5 years.

 

[The National]

They had this article ready to go eh?

 

[Zamknij kurwa ryj]

Matthews and Marner even playing in this series?

 

[BigFuzzyDice]

The laffs post game thread has them lighting pitchforks n gathering torches to run marner out o town. That'd be sweet. Could you imagine matthews without his set up man.

 

[McDrai]

I think Spezza will carry the Leafs to a game 7 win. Montreal has done a good job of shutting down the heavy hitters so far

 

[koyvoo]

Matthews at least appears to be more engaged, more emotionally invested than does Marner, but still, if you score so many in regular, it’s gotta happen in the playoffs too.

I don’t know how to explain Marner’s subpar performance, and loss of his world class decision making hockey brain, but Matthews I think is trying. His effort or focus, maybe needs to be harnessed or something. Even a legendary leader like Yzerman was doubted, well in his late 20s and early 30s before everything clicked. Regardless, a goal scorer has to score in the playoffs.

Bunch a trolls saying Matthew's is leaving. Same type of idiots who say Mcdavid is leaving Edmonton.

Yeah, I watched the highlights and didn't see them once, were they injured?

 

[The Grim Reaper]

Absolutely. There’s a reason he only signed for 5 years.

Has to be demoralizing to be drafted by the Leafs. Matthews probably has a much higher ceiling than what we’ve seen so far. Probably would have even performed better on the Jets at this point.

Isn't he from the San Francisco area? Wonder if he wants to play for the Sharks.

The Oilers have cap space, the Leafs do not. If they lose again, you can’t keep the same core. He’s the odd man out due to his contract. It’s not like they won’t get a good return for him, and Toronto can attract free agents.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Matthews might as well shave the 80s porn stache if he's shooting blanks.

 

[T REX]

Bunch a trolls saying Matthew's is leaving. Same type of idiots who say Mcdavid is leaving Edmonton.

Honest question...just because you drafted him you think he'll never ever leave?

Everyone has a breaking point.

I can totally seeing him asking to get out if you cant put more than one piece around him.

It's his legacy. Don't think he's there forever. The best of the best want to win.

He would of hit 60 goals in a season on Winnipeg.

 

[Paul4587]

Matthews was good. Not outstanding but had a decent enough game. Marner though continues to be garbage in the playoffs.

Same type of idiots who said Eichel wanted out of Buffalo...

For sure. Anywhere warmer with a better prospect than a historic first round playoff exit.

 

[PG Canuck]

Matthews has one assist in the last four games.

Wouldn't that make him the 80s porn king ?

 

[PG Canuck]

Matthews has one assist in the last four games.

In addition to this:

Marner has two assists in the last four games. Both are secondary to boot.

 

[Grumpy Olfart]

Toronto should trade Matthews to Columbus for Laine......lol.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

Yeah, I watched the highlights and didn't see them once, were they injured?

I saw Marner in the box once!

 

[The Grim Reaper]

I saw Marner in the box once!

They have zero interest in being Toronto’s savior(s) after seeing how hotdog Phil was treated.
