So Matthews and Willy both had concussions, but they let everyone think they were pussies missing games for colds and headaches. Why?
Not sure, and maybe their track record of late suggests that they don't. My take from watching the games these past few playoffs is that they would benefit from a bit more testosterone in forward group especially at the top end. There are guys who can jam and are comfortable in uncomfortable territory yet still score goals.Do you think they know that?
He's aging and had a subpar year and has a big cap hit, why not?Also, i would not be surprised to see the Leafs enter the Markstrom sweeps.
Probably to deter guys going for their heads when they came back.So Matthews and Willy both had concussions, but they let everyone think they were pussies missing games for colds and headaches. Why?
From our buddy Burtch. Interesting stats in a not so small sample:
The 3 core Leafs playoff careers in G5-7:
Matthews - 19 gp, 416.87 mins of TOI, 8 goals, 13 pts, 1.15 G/60, 1.87 pts/60
Nylander - 21 gp, 398.49 mins of TOI, 7 goals, 17 pts, 1.05 G/60, 2.56 pts/60
Marner - 21 gp, 465.70 mins of TOI, 1 goal, 9 pts, 0.13 G/60, 1.16 pts/60
All 7 guys are important i can tell you that.Did they mention anything about acquiring a stud top pair d? Or do they think they can build a d corps with #7d talentless plugs? They seemed ecstatic about their deadline, almost giddy.
and they're gonna Kessel him and offload him for the best package of shit they can get. and I'm gonna loudly complain about how they wasted an amazing opportunity.IMO they have basically said they are trading Marner without saying it. Every critique they have had has basically been a jab in his direction
as many of us (correctly) feared.They've learned nothing. They think their deadline was fantastic and will they will continue on that path. I wish they lost in 5.. probably still wouldn't have helped but you never know.
They will get a F and D, but they will not be ones anyone is happy with around here, and Tavares either stays ( cause moving Mitch is enough) or you have to surrender an asset to dump himand they're gonna Kessel him and offload him for the best package of shit they can get. and I'm gonna loudly complain about how they wasted an amazing opportunity.
not to mention what they may do to our cap situationThis is a very scary timeline. These fucking morons are going to make the biggest franchise altering trade the leafs have made in decades. A botched trade and that's it. Matthews window is done.
