Was the 10.893M Golden Boy good tonight? - Steven_Seagull
Everyone sucked but Marner had the best possession #’s etc tonight.
So...for those that didn’t watch Marner and Tavares were awesome but unlucky. |

No. Was Nylander? Not Particularly. Tavares? Ceci, Barrie, etc. Signalling out one guy because you don't like him does nothing. - UsernameUnknown
Yeaaah Tavares makes even more, has more years in the league. He's the (frank)ing captain ffs... And he wasn't good tonight either. Don't see anyone saying he should be traded... |

I don't care if it's a pornstar with DD tits and a Nobel prize, they're (frank)ing annoying and should take their poop elsewhere. |

7 players on leafs were credited with more hits than Matthews tonight.
True - there are hits and hits, but according to the stats and good old eye test, Matthews had a meager 1 hit. That is 1 more than his normal hits/game, maybe that's why you are so confused. - MaximusAurelius
Why are we concerned about Matthews hits? He spent the night trying to get away from Jones to find scoring chances |

Can he be traded? Does he have a full NMC? |

Hmmm. No... No its not. The team is desperate to win now because they only have guaranteed control of their best young players for another 5ish years?

I am disappointed in all of the forwards, really, but not surprised and still hopeful. They'll need to adjust they're system and step up. Columbus just played a really good game. On to game 2! |

Curious how you can be disappointed with AM34? |

Perhaps I should have said 'no one's complaining about him'.
Any one of us should be expecting more of Tavares than Marner, Willie... Even Matthews. Yet it's the kids getting the heat. 🤷♂️
Fact, none of them were incredible tonight. Also fact... It was one game. |

He’s a Marner simp, to use his words. Always blames Nylander. - Steven_Seagull
They pretty much smothered all the forwards. Everybody just gets to pick out the guy they hate and say see! Nylander was creating more chances than Marner that should be obvious |

Not on any ledge.....
5 years yes, but we will likely need to lose our starting goalie and top dman during that time frame. Therefore, our team may become progressively worse. |

Not one single Leaf matched the CBJ intensity.
They have yet to figure out what it takes to win in the playoffs, or be willing to put in the work.

Matthews least of all. He played really well. I was moreso pushing the premise that pointing out any single player for a lackluster performance is a flawed ideology. |

Indeed, I hope this was the learning curve. You can't play into your opposition's strengths for 60 minutes and expect a positive outcome.
Less desperate passing through the slot, less shooting at knee caps from the blueline, less relying on the corner game. More pucks on net, more traffic in front. More generating rebounds and being there to mop them up.
Being better offensively doesn't count for poop if the game plan is to match them defensively... |
