No, it is. He can take it to the wall - he can pin it, he can spin and dump it. The only excuse I have for him is that when you're tired enough your brain shuts down, but it's a completely brain dead play.

I just want to know where the rest of the team is.

Marner needed a new twig.

Do the Leafs lead the league in broken twigs? Is our stick guy Daniel Alfredson's cousin?

Vasi shut out Ovi. I hope that asshat never breaks Gretzky's record.

- Matthews on long
- Took a look saw Marner in between red/blue heading towards boards
- threw it to blue line without looking expecting Marner to support the play (especially when he knows Matthews is exhausted at end of shift)
- Marner needs to support that play and nit leave a guy by himself last back with no outlet against bruins fresh player

Overall
- bad read/derails by Marner
- Super careless and aloof by Matthews
- Big23Questions

Marner lost or broke his stick and went to the bench. There was no bad read.

I’m closer to a Selke than AM34

Nope. Literally just watched reply (game recorded).

There is Mitch - stick in hand heading to bench.

Bad read. He even turns back to head back but it’s too late

Still an aloof bonehead play by Matthews. But Mitch shares that blame

That was what Matthews saw and thought he had an outlet and right after Marner turned back to the bench and Matthews didn’t see it.

poopty but it’s a mistake that was born of both being on the ice way too long - which they used to do in OT all the time.

I was happy the Leafs battled back to tie it late and get a point.

Simpson said that so I took a look again. He clearly (on the overhead replay) has his stick in hand and just flat heads off. I didn’t see him loose stick ‘real time’ but Simpson said that so I needed to have a look.

100% - still they both need to make better decisions there

It’s selfish AF to do that in OT & they have both been doing it for years and if they don’t score they end up giving up the GWG most of the time.

I hope Berube puts an end to it.

It’s weird eh. Matthews is almost always the most reliable 2way centre in the league game after game. But the Columbus and St. Louis game (plus this play in OT) not so much.

Not worried about him for Leafs (he will be fine) but I don’t think the argument of ‘it’s early’ makes sense. There should be a ton of worry for team and Tre. This team has been making these types of mistakes (not just 34/16 but as a team) and playing with a lack of attention to detail, soft, no urgency, etc., for 9 seasons. To me that’s why it’s not ‘early’.

Leafs after nine games:

2021-22: 4-4-1 
2022-23: 4-4-1
2023-24: 5-3-1
2024-25: 4-4-1

Leafs are slow starters. I’m not to worried yet.

At least the loser point was gained.

Watch tape, practice, learn, and move on.

Agreed.

Nah man. That play is 110% on Austin. Don't even.

This guy popped up on X. Which one of you fellers is this?
