It's Treliving, not Treeliving.
Re Dubas, he should be "better v bitter".
Trade Matthews now or it's more seasons of disappointment for Leafs. His nickname should be 3M… More Money Matthews.
Great conversation with 2 pros….so much better without slammy
Morgan should have been the Captain during the Tavares-Matthews saga. 100% that man bleeds blue and knows what it means to be a leaf. Gives it his all and steps up in the playoffs.
I would trade Mathews. Get someone with some grit..tired of the soft playing Mathews. Without Marner he might get 35 goals.
I wouldn't sign long term either. I want options.
Love Kirk Muller. Epic NHL ‘94 player
Be like Phil Kessel and take a dig after your 3rd Cup. So Dubas only failed up.
I’m surprised Keefe didn’t go to penguinland with Spezza!…………..👀😏
#Justsayin
I wouldn’t pay Auston any more than 12 M/ year for 3 years. He may play harder and lead his team but hasn’t showed up in the playoffs for how many years?
Bourne is absolutely STUPID! Any Leaf who thinks anything more than an 8 year $12 million AAV doesn't care about winning The Stanley Cup!
Respectfully…the narrative that 13M or 14M is appropriate and palatable to the Leaf fan base is a farce. The results and “optics analytics” don’t match. Regardless…any contract that pushes the cap issue beyond its current problem level across the 4 only doubles down on this issue of this team not having D and depth to be successful in the post season.
It’s funny how you bring up Eichel yes he ended up winning the cup but if that never happened then Austons season was way better points wise.
Morgan was their best player in the playoffs
Bourne has got to be the dumbest next to Du(m)bas(s)
Mathew’s is the face we want as the front for the brand ? Seriously ?
Mathew’s is not a captain. Clearly.
But who is on the Leafs.
If he took 12 1/2 million -or 13 million it would show he all in! He gets 15 million its all about the money and who cares about winning.
Matthews the season before last vs Matthews last season is Matthews with Marner vs Matthews without Marner. The problem comes in the playoffs when Marner needs players to make space for him and Matthews doesn't because he plays small.
Does Matthews look like a captain? No. Rielly does.
Is Matthews worth 13M? No. Last year he wasn't worth what he was getting now. If he wants more than he is getting now trade him.
Matthews only wants to sign for 2 or 3 years. Trade him, he doesn't really want to be in Toronto. Moving on from greedy players sends a great message to Marner as well.
Matthews may be the face of the franchise but the team is only as good as Marner plays. Marner great, team great. Marner bad, team loses.
Keefe coming back. There aren't a lot of great other options out there right now. I really like the idea of bringing in Muller. Muller isn't perfect but the thought of Keefe getting outcoached in the playoffs again induces nausea. Imagine if the Leafs had a real coach like Cassidy last season.
Dubas, is anyone really surprised he is acting like an annoying ex-girlfriend, just ignore him and he will go away.
Great stuff nick
I disagree with Maclean Matthew's is as good if not better than Mackinnon he just won the hart trophy and he had forty goals this past season and McDavid has got Leon by his side,and Matthew's has won as many cups as McDavid has ,bring in towes to teach them how to prepare to win in the playoffs
I'd go 12.7M x 3 for #34 if I really have to. Don't really want to be tied down to him long term, would regret it later. Don't think Leafs can win with this kind of guy, and that goes for Marner as well. Those 2 have no more excuses to offer for poor play in the playoffs. They didn't even take any responsibility, not even close. "Eyes are the window of the soul". I look at #34 and #16, and don't see what's needed to lead to go all the way. As for #34 wearing, the C, no bleeping way. Rielly should've been the Captain 5 years ago. Leafs still can;t see that they're on a dead end street.
The laughs are going no where ⚰️🪦😂😂😂💩💩💩
Stop saying Matthew wants this much he didn’t even sign an extension let’s see how much he signs for stop the assumptions lol 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
😂trade mathews its obvious… unless he gets less then mcdavid and others right now.
Dubas is a low class amateur and his true colours show. I never liked him after the JT and Marner deals years ago. Well said Kyper. The Pens look bad hiring this buffoon.
Leafs need to replace some players with bigger bodies that do the grind. If you look around Buffalo is on the hunt of upcoming teams, they are big, young and fast, Ottawa will only become more pesty, Florida as we know played the boards and even though it seems like the NHL is trying to diminish fighting,…Our players need those types of stand ups, go to the corner, dig, hit, take a hit, and throw them with authority because, Matthews, Marner, Nylander, Tavares (our leaders do not dig the corners or rough stuff and need to feel like i.e. Patrick kane opening up ice for teammates…I realize 1 of the top 4 may have to be traded in order to not only shock, but to improve in a key area especially come playoffs. Give me Wilson for the top line,..Zadorov for the 2nd line, Lucic for the 4th line and now some tougher players that can still compliment our core whatever it shall be.
Run Matthews Run….tell your agent to get the scooper and scoop you out of the Toronto fishbowl. MLSE and LEAF FAN do this to every star they ever had….RUN and don’t look back. Take less for the team and be a pal? 😂
Is MLSE lowering ticket prices for the FANS? Is MLSE lowering concession prices for a hometown deal for the FANS? When was the last off-season surgery MLSE had? C’mon should MLSE give everyone a hometown deal?
RUN MATTEWS RUN!!
Teams got to play angry against the Bombers and yes I am talking to the Hammer's Ti-Cats go in extremely HUNGRY!!! GO CATS Go!!! We are the Hammer 🔨!!!
Mathews is going to be the leader, Captain! Sorry Johnny hockey but take a pay cut or ask for a trade!
dubas screwed toronto with those terrible contracts.
The problem with Matthews is they put together a soft team and soft locker room. If he had came in the league and the leafs were a physical battling team he may have gone a bit in that direction. But having Tavares Marner and Nylander as your top 6 is a joke. Tavares will have to take a discount when his contract ends and probably become a winger but I don't see how we keep Marner and Nylander. Marner has way more skill and is one of the best utility players especially on the pk. Nylander has no defence and is of and on. Problem is how much money is hold back marner going to want.
Matthews is overrated!!!!!!!
Who cares, same conversation for 7 years. The way to the cup is through Toronto. Be happy with your championship s from the 1800s.
As usual, the Leafs news is almost non existent! Same old BS every year.
Until Matthews actually shows up in the playoffs, he's not a $12M player. Needs to eat more red meat
Matthews the type if guy to ask for 14 by 3 and then sign for 16 by 8 when he is 30
Is Doug getting paid for this, because if so I think he should be a lot more engaged. He just seems disinterested.
Would you want a captain wearing earrings?
Yes nicely said Matthew not Worth it yes you’re right Mac Mac McDavid and MacKinnon know I would never pay them more than them pay Matthew no way every year to plant he just goes flat out does Nathan he’s a good player but he just got so much leading us into him if he doesn’t have the right players playing with him he just has no interest that’s what I see every time I watch him so either you get good players surrounding him because the pairs that Matthew plays with with the lift there they’re not that good come on really they’re not that good
Why are they bringing the coach back it’s because the players won him and I’m pretty sure they told the manager that either you bring back the coach or a place somewhere else and I think Matthew did said that because he’s easy on them really nice and they don’t want a hard ass coach they want someone who could communicate and be nice really that’s what it’s really about now today in hockey gone with the days when are you yelling and screaming and embarrass embarrassing the players on the bench none of that no more
NO – ONE in the Leafs organization deserves more money until they can prove they can win !
Bad career move for Matthews to stay in that spithole. Canada is where NHL careers go to die.
This is the third K&B video where my ears heard the joyous sound of NO SAM MCKEE! Have they finally muzzled him or is he no longer on the show? Mckee's awful takes and off-topic nonsense about golf really brought the show down several pegs. Much better without him!
Why would anyone want to be in Toronto with a talking head like Kyper and his cte?
Sammy's not liked very much on here
Considering his results with Florida and Columbus, I don't think if DOug MacLean had taken over Tampa Bay they'd be worth $1.2B and MacLean himself wqouldn't be worth $200M. So Doug can relax and not worry about it.
Kyper said it. Mathews wrist hurts and everyone gives him a pass.. meanwhile other players are finding a way to play with broken bones and bad sprains. So tired about hearing about the wrist. It's a long way from the heart and the best just find a way.
Matthews has only scored over 50 goals once so far and he is not captain material. He's not worth over $10M in my honest opinion if you are trying to win a cup. If he signs for a ridiculous amount, it will show that he's about Auston, not winning. Great show lads! Cheers
The day Matthews signs for $14M is the day they wont win aa cup with him.
