    Capitals vs. Leafs - Dec. 18th, 7:00pm - SN

    Yep Like Quinn Hughes, they'll know well in advance that Matthews is not returning. Why would Matthews hang around for a rebuild? The clock is ticking on his career. If they wait, maybe Treliving can get a 3/4th line center for him ... If they move him this season, they'd probably get much more...

    Capitals vs. Leafs - Dec. 18th, 7:00pm - SN

    Stating the obvious: Stecher's done a heck of a job for a waiver wire pickup dropped into this situation. I've liked Robertson's and Cowan's efforts. I'd make PP2 PP1 to send a message to PP1 whether their hands are cupped to their ears or not. Leafs are on pace for 18 shots I wonder if...

    Matthews current .85 ppg is the second lowest of his career. He was .84 ppg in his rookie season ... (puts cupped hand up to my right ear ...)

    Domi is a team worst -12 Tavares and Nylander got off to a good start this season - why not try them together again? (maybe I've forgotten why they would be split aside from defensive issues ...) Knies-Matthews-_______ _____-Tavares-Nylander Joshua-Roy-McMann Lorentz-Laughton-Cowan To me...

    Blackhawks @ Leafs - Dec. 16th, 7:00pm - TSN4

    That would depend on his medical condition - which only the team and Matthews knows. If he is as good as he is going to get and prone to something more, I might try to salvage what I could now for example though they have to reveal his medical when/if they trade him ... I'm not a big fan of...

    Blackhawks @ Leafs - Dec. 16th, 7:00pm - TSN4

    I asked the screen displaying that "R U tone deaf and oblivious to how poorly the team has played?" It appears that our Captain is. As for Berube's PC, that struck me as a coach who is getting on thin ice with his players. We saw him yelling on the bench. He chewed the leadership out recently...

    Blackhawks @ Leafs - Dec. 16th, 7:00pm - TSN4

    That was getting so ugly, I'm relieved for them. Always hoping for the best. But the objective is to have a parade at the end of the season. Anything can happen in sports. I thought they were better than what they've shown. Odds makers still give them a 1% chance to win it all. I just can't see...

    What's wrong with Auston Matthews?

    Until Woll came in and helped lower it, they were allowing around a goal per game more than last season. That is broad enough to probably affect the whole team's individual defensive numbers. Now they're about half a goal per game worse than last season. Problem is: as they lowered their GAA...

    What's wrong with Auston Matthews?

    I was taking posters at their word. I know his +/- is near the top of the team. Haven't looked beyond that. But I'm not the only one to observe he seems to be making more of a defensive effort. His coach is on to Nylander and Domi ...

    What's wrong with Auston Matthews?

    I don't think it is that simple. From great defensive forwards Bob Gainey to Bergeron or Barkov, regardless of injury history, if they have wingers like Domi and Nylander instead of Marner, their defensive stats are likely to suffer. Matthews is finding that out first hand this season. It is a...

    What's wrong with Auston Matthews?

    When a player goes from having a smart, perennial Selke candidate on his wing to two of the most defensively challenged wingers on the team: Domi & Nylander, I don't think it is unreasonable to expect some negative effect. Some of it probably relates to his injury but there's no way I can see...
