Around The League - 2025 Playoffs

Make Beliefs are where Blow Jays were in 1990 as perennial “needing to take the next step” - until Pat Gillick made a landscape changing deal acquiring Alomar + Joe Carter for Fernandez + McGriff

May require dealing Matthews in such a mega deal….

Hughes bros (Jack + Luke) for Matthews?

Two teams, both needing seismic shakeup…
Your going from one soft star for 2 butterfly brothers with shoulder injuries

Jack has had what 2-3 major surgeries , dude might be a 50 game player at some point

AM wouldn`t wave for Joisy

Leafs fucked up royally , waited too long to address their core

Should have punted 2 after the Habs playoff debacle
 
That’s close to impossible to do w a sizeeable data set. it’s like saying give it 150% when it’s impossible to give more than 100%.

What top end performers do, however, is MAINTAIN their consistent level of median performance in season & playoffs - which both McJesus & Draisatil do vs Matthews

Matthews drops 40% in production, from being a 50G+ regular season scorer to a 30G playoff rate
No team in playoff history with 3 front line stars produced at this atrocious level when it matters in the playoffs
 
Goaltending has not been the issue in this series. Woll actually kept it close for a while.

Panthers have been first on the puck. Winning most of the battles

Leafs forecheck is almost non existent. Florida have spent very little time in their dzone the past few games
