We’re about to find out what Auston Matthews prioritizes – himself or his team.
I was at the game I turned to my buddy in the 3rd and “where tf is Willy?!” Non existent all night
bruins in 4
Matthews gets his 70. Leafs don't win a single game vs Boston. Another summer of "next year" coming right up.
I would leave it up to Matthews. His call. He gets to stand up and say, "I decided to sit" to take all the pressure off of the coach and his team mates. Or, he says, "I wanted to play because it will not make a difference to my ability to play in game 1" then that is his call too. I hope he plays and tries to get that one more goal, and he can at least say he tried. I don't think resting tomorrow will make a difference in the playoffs. But scoring that one more goal, that could boost the confidence even more, perhaps.
The Bruins chose Toronto and Toronto is in trouble
No Sammy means no Tavares impersonation, I’m devastated. This might have been the worst game in Johnny T’s career! Did he win a faceoff tonight?
Its not crazy mcdavo got 60 plus last year
They don’t have the cap to sit people
Matthews should play because the Leafs have only six games left this season.2regular season and 4 playoff games.regarding the Leafs zzzzzzzzzz.
Well said Bunkis!
If kuch hits 100 assists he should win the hart
Did I miss anything? Ron Jeremy still sitting at 69 goals?
For playing Matthews in these last two games to set his record – Matthews looks like a failure for not scoring his 70th. 😀
More Leaf Executive and playoff related screw ups.
Connor McDavid took 3 games off at 99 assists for the good of the team. You can't teach that.
The conversation on whether not Matthews should play the final game is annoying as hell.
Regrets when Kucherov breaks Matthews leg!
Just be happy you don’t have to play panthers in round 1
Swept in round 1. Go for 70
Y'all ain't beating Boston sorry
Your goaltending is atrocious, you done
We want Florida we want Florida we want Florida
Please beat Bruins so we can see you next round again this year 😆
Mathews Mathews Mathews!!! This all you ever talk about. It gets boring.
Guys don’t be so insulting…… our arena is full, I have season tickets and we are full and everyone loves the Panthers here, my three boys play at the Panthers system and we have a great thriving hockey community. The GTA has to stop disrespecting the south. If you survive Boston, rest assured you’re not getting past us in the second round. Go Leafs.
Boston losing last 2 games to mediocre teams. Than Florida overtaking them for division title. Sets up all Florida series and bruins leafs 1st round matchup. This couldn't have been scripted by nhl any better.
Bourny, you are way off course if you think Matty shouldn't play. These guys are not old men and he is not hurt so PLAY THE FK OUTTA THEM!!!! Fear is death, so if they are afraid to play him, then they may as well head to the golf course. Would be fantastic to see 70 but imagine how screwed the fans would feel if they asked to rest. It would be a slap in the face to the fans who want to potentially see him score.
In NHL history, there are twice as many players that scored 70 goals than 100 assists in a single season, even with the opportunity for two assists on every goal. Also, only the Mount Rushmore of hockey attained this feet, namely Orr, Gretzky, Lemieux, and McDavid. Thus, McDavid should receive more votes than Matthews for the Hart Trophy without question.
Come on JD, who cares about individual stats. This isn’t tennis, this is a team game. Playoffs are what matters. I’d sit him 100% if possible
How is it that the young bloggers cheer for the Leafs? Are there no other teams that they could cheer for? Boston in 5. Ballard Curse 1967.
So if you beat Tampa and Boston in two years (not one playoff season), you think that reflects well on this team? Wow, your goals are low.
How the leafs do against the ruins this year?..like a resume of season loss..they lose a lot of games because of lack of pucks to the net..i think we got outshot..thats on keefe..nothin positive here.
Panther fan: I'm so far more hyped with taking on the Lightning than I was for the Leafs. Y'all dreading your demons, we're embracing ours. See y'all next season dudes!! (Hint: it won't be this spring)
"70 don't mean a thing if you don't got the ring."
leafs gotta finish strong -beat tampa matthews gets 70
34 is playing tomorrow, doesn’t have a lingering injury or anything (which would be the only reason he’d sit). 100% he’s in the liney
Better to have the team feeling good that their star got 70 goals then lose the last 4 games and be the team that almost got their guy 70 goals but fell short. Better to chase the goal than to rest and still get smoked in the first round and miss out on history for nothing.
Hey JD, tonight Barkov was +3 and Matthews was -3. Tell me who one of the two is Selke worthy.
He'll play against Tampa, and he'll score.
Great show lads
Sorry this team not beating Boston. As for Florida, Tampa takes them in 6 and wins the east to make it 4 finals in 5 years. Book it. This coming from a Leafs die hard since 87.
