I wonder if you're as embarrassed as you should be that you distort things like that to prop your boy up.
They both played the regular season, with very similar total games. But you need to include playoffs (that Jack can't seem to make it to, despite everything you say about him) to try and say Matthews didn't outperform him.
If you want to say he only beat him on a PPG basis once, you'd be right and we'd be back to calling them pretty equal with a slight edge to Matthews.
Distorting things like that just takes away from your credibility
What did I say that was distorted? I as including playoffs and regular season for both players.
That’s what I would have counted for eichel had he played too.
Honestly I don't see Jack Eichel being better than Auston Matthews and nothing you say will make me change my opinion about that.
I also believe that Rasmus Dalhin needs to prove he can play at the NHL because there is so many times you can use his hype and potential as a reason why he's better than Morgan Rielly.
I’m not trying to get you to think that. You can think what you want. I’m just stating they have bith been equally imoressive (I actually watch both) the only real difference is one guy has help and the other hasnt until now. That’s why everyone claims eichel has a higher offensive ceiling. Except you guys of course and I wonder why that could be.
I would agree with you on Dahlin if he was just a prospect or just a good prospect, which is all he became to leaf fans as soon as buffalo selected him. But he’s been hyped as generational. So he will easily be better then Reilly. ThE fact some even five Reilly a chance in here is being polite.
He’s already impressing in camp, on source said he was ten times better then he thought he would look. Had two goals in his first showing. He’s a Dman.
How many times did Buffalo fans try telling us that it was coaching that was the issue? And how Eichel was going to break out under Housley?
I don't think coaching is the issue at all there, there's a huge lockerroom problem there. And I guarantee 100% it's Eichel who's causing it.
Well there it is.
IPS knows more about buffalos dressing room then everyone.
The fact we’ve had no defense, competent goaltending or coaching doesent matter.
A franchise Center who’s put up 121 pts in his last 128 games as a kid with no real help is clearly the problem.
He took a last placed team in 14-15 and in his rookie season helped make them 22nd best. That’s pretty good. Not amazing but good. Then the team crumbled the last two years and go figure he was injured a quarter of the year in both of them.
Not as impressive as Matthews of course.
He didn’t drag a last placed team to 16Th place like Matthews who also had help from Andersen (a top ten starting goalie) Nylander and Marner who I hear is better then eichel so that must of helped Auston greatly.c
Your just setting yourself up for great disappointment IPS if your expecting buffalo to just be bad every year. He’s not perfect but Auston Matthews in his position it would be the same thing.
He’s about to have success, he’s way too good to not. He didn’t have any quality help and even Toronto hasn’t won a playoff series with all this hell.
That was 100 percent cause of Matthews only havin. One goal in 7 games. Had he shown up at all you would of at least won a playoff series since 04.
Get in all the shots while you still can because now that Eichel has help he’s about to pass Matthews, they’ve always been producing similarly but that’s about to change. Especially with Tavares coming and the ice time being a factor.
right?
just stuck in a random 50pt 26yr old winger into a group of elite young talent for some reason.
I mean, Reinhart would also be the weakest player in the group, but at least he would make some sense being included.
Lol at random winger. If he was a leaf all we’d hear about is how he’s gonna score forty goals this year.
Skinner scored 37 goals two years ago, playing with no quality centres you know the three goals off Matthews claim to fame.
Let’s forget that and just use one point total to make him found awful.
He’s in a contract yeAr and now has an elite Center in eichel to play with. Eichel now has an elite scorer on his line.
This is going to be deadly.
I think everyone that isn't a Buffalo fan or leafs hater would take Marner.
Eichel's tendency to try to pry away GM duties from actual GM's is very concerning and immature.
Make a poll then.
Of course you won’t because only leaf fans think this.
You guys don’t even watch eichel so no one takes whteve the three of you have to say. Honestly when people say leaf fans they just talk about the few of you. Maybe not the last guy I quoted but the first two.
You make the fan base look bad with your ignorant insults, your completely way off comparisons and finger pointing when there’s no credible basis. It all just paints a picture of a sad fan base trying to run another in the ground.
That decade of sucking something awful must have been terrible for you guys to act so peculiar.
