2025-26 Toronto Maple Leafs General Discussion

This is an interesting discussion about playstyle but it's all academic unless Matthews can — somehow — get back to pre-2024/25 form. We are a month in and he has, what, one 5 on 5 goal? I've missed most of the games but in those I've seen he's mostly been on the same level as last year: good, responsible, but not changing the event.

We are a month into things, and there is no real sign that he is "over" whatever the hell his problem is. It's too early to say for sure, but we have to entertain the possibility that we've seen Peak Matthews. If that's so, then the team has already squandered its best chances for a Cup.
