Those things happen all the time. They don't usually end up in the back of the net. But because Bogo was on a walkabout he left Komorov wide open. - Wetbandit1
Not talking about that specific instance. Just in general
Are you for real ? " the only time Matthews scoring affects our playoff chances is when he does so against us". Everytime Matthews scores and the Leafs win it affects our chances. - SABRES 89
Well then u could say that about EVERY single NHL player!

Possibly, but Matthews' body is also very close to fully developed. He'll get stronger, but not that much stronger. Guys like Eichel, McDavid, Marner, etc. are going to grow. Even two years ago, they said Matthews looked liked he was in his 20s. - buffalofan19

I think he's been fine. He's young yet. He's had times where he looks great and others where I don't want to say he looks over his head, but looks a little tentative.

Matthews is 19yrs old. If you have seen him in a t-shirt you can see that he is no where close to muscle developed. He is also 210lbs. Give him 3 or 4 yrs and playing with an extra 20 to 25lbs of muscle. Still lot's to grow in to. There is a lot of talk about that fact. Kid is going to be an absolute beast in a couple years from now.

That was actually a pretty decent shift by Nylander. Yeah, I've decided to look for moral victories today. My standards are quite low at the moment. - buffalofan19
His first shift? was a really nice one. He had the puck down low and fought off a check and got it back to the point for a chance.
