The boys are gonna be fine and AM34 gonna come back rested call it march madness
Are you injured? What happened to Dang Its this week?
As an Avs fan, who’s been SORELY missing gabe all year, you’ll see what they’re really made of. When a leader goes down, EVERYONE else has to elevate their play in order to make up for the absence. Ultimately this will make the leafs a more complete team come playoff time.
they might be OK… BUT NOT MY FANTASY TEAM!!!!
Wow it looks like they’ll get a touchdown scored on them tonight!
Leafs best fate is to finish 7th in the conference, thus playing the best team in the OTHER Division
Interested to see how well leafs play without him. TBH they looked average last time he was out.
Another plus is at least this happened now and not in April
Omg! 4 superstars costing over 40 millions still can’t compete! The playoffs are around the corner and they’re in trouble! If just one of them is missing, they can’t beat bottom feeders like the Habs or Ottawa! They still think Matthews is better than McDavid when he was behind Caufield in goals, even though Caufield kept dislocating his shoulder, Matthews is just not strong, he avoids corners and rough stuff, for a 6foot3 player, I have to believe, he will be traded and play where no one will hold him accountable for his ridiculous contract…..playoos are coming….
"Two tremendous forces coming up against each other:
The Leafs' inability to beat teams that they should
and being really good without their best player"
"The Leafs' inability to beat teams that they should" won tonight as the Leafs lose 6-2 to the Ottawa Senators
6-2 loss to Ottawa. To Ottawa! Yeah, the Ottawa team that's in 25th place overall. That Ottawa. 6-2! Unbelievable.
"The Leafs STINK at playing teams they should beat" This is before Steve knows the Sens / Leafs score of the day.
Dude is softer than a creampuff
And my boys in red and gold spanked your pathetic pee wee hockey team perfect day LFG SENATORS BABY!!!!!!!
If the Leafs try to pull a Kucherov, they will miss the playoffs. Buffalo is double dog daring them to try it.
LTIR for the rest of the season. Load up at the deadline with $12.7M in cap space. Activate Matthews when playoffs hit. Pull a Tampa
Leafs are a great regular season team.
And Murray broke a nail in warmup and once again “couldn’t” play tonight against the Sens. Fragile.
I wonder if Matthews will ever play a full 82 games again… ever. for all the talk about how big and strong he is, he certainly takes a lot of time off for a guy that has never thrown a punch or been known to throw big checks…
Leafs got run over by a garbage truck.
What else is new
Next man up boys. That's how we found Tom Brady.
I like your take, which I heard all the way through, but I also liked your t-shirt, which I would have liked to see in its entirety. And take care, Steve, strep throat is a nasty thing, we're fond of you, we want you well.
Good thing it's Nylanders year
Oh this is clever-he doesn't want to go to All Stars, many prefer to sit out -ovechkin, Crosby, Fleury, Quick, Rask and other players skip all stars, simply take the fine & 1 game suspension. (It's a no-brainer for a responsible athlete with a family.)
I don't see Toronto losing their playoff spot. In three weeks, there's only six games.
Even if they lose all 6 games, it's not going to knock them out of wild card.
Auston will be rehabbing somewhere in the sunshine!
This is not good for my NHL 23 All Stars Card 🥹…
Oh yeah … I hope he's okay too 😅
Leafs have an incredible record without matthews lol…and its like the beginning of february so its the right month to miss some time…just means we'll see more 2-1 or 3-2 wins coming up
Idk I think it's a good thing. The rest of the team will get the experience to play without the cheat code. Should allow everyone else to propel themselves forward. Seems to me, a solid, balanced roster works well in the playoffs, compared to the regular season.
Very reasonable assessment, until we saw the game against Ottawa last night.
Nobody stepped up. It was pathetic. Completely unlike their earlier stretches without Auston.
They need to give their collective heads a shake.
