Nobody said he's been good enough, just our best
Probably why I quoted someone and made a specific response on it rather than creating a thread or a stand alone post to support Matthews play.
It's just getting old that after like 6 years people are always trying to blame depth or something else for the teams playoff problems and when people suggest making a change to either coaching or the core or both then we just hear excuse after excuse. Now we gotta see that the newer additions haven't done anything, but silence on that 3rd line that has 0 points and Robertson who we were told would be able to score goals for us. Jarnkrok is on year 2 where he's invisible during the playoffs and silence, but the newer guys who have been in on most of our scoring are the ones getting brought up more than the actual problems and need to be better.
I agree with this but I still not that interested in him re-signing. I do like that whatever his warts and limitations are, he does have a pulse though.
Kampf hasn't been useless but he really does need to be better on the draws. He's the #1PKer and is 40% in the dot this series. They have been playing well enough 5v5 even with Matthews not being 100% for 2 games now. We have highly paid players doing nothing 5v5 and on the PP and a 3rd line that has done nothing and all we've been told is 2 of the players on that 3rd line are 2 of our best depth goal scorers. 2 of our so called best PKers in Marner and Jarnkrok are both healthy and you'd think the PK improves but it gets worse and then we sit one of the guys who helped our PK towards the end of the season after we trade for him and even stopped playing him as much on the PK over Marner. The problems have been the same things for years and it's coaching and special teams. Previous years you could say goaltending but I don't think Sammy is at the top of our problems. If those star players dominated on the PP like other top offensive teams do we aren't talking about Bertuzzi and Domi.
Meanwhile Col has 22 goals in 4 games.
