No, he is. He is awesome. Never done anything wrong. He isn't 19 years old and has no room to grow. He deserves the Calder. Maybe even 2 Calders.

3 Calders

She's a goner boys.

Right where we want them!!! lol

Yeah it's over, see ya

Laine

Laine has gone pointless in a 4 game stretch 3 times this season.

It's gunna happen. In fact. It's unavoidable to go through an few slumps in a season.
- Santo_44

It isn't even the points Santos. It is that I watch, and he looks invisible.

What I try to tell myself is that he is concentrating on becoming a complete, 2-way, NHL center and that sometimes offense is going to suffer because of that... and, of course, he is a rookie.

Then I watch Marner, and I don't see the same diappearing act, and Marner is carrying two boat-anchors on his line. Did you see those guys when Marner was injured

Right where we want them!!! lol

Wow...they all look like Matthews out there.

Wow Reilly is brutal tonight. What a poor effort to night.

- Steven_Seagull

Partly yeah.

But seriously, I hate the fact that people in Toronto have suddenly become immune to any sort of negative reality.

Here is another one... Korshkov was a (frank)ing HORRIBLE draft pick that no other team would have made and every single person in this thread should have done better.
- Aetherial

Maybe. That's cherry picking, though.

As a collective fan base we finally have the foundation of a team we can not only cheer for but be proud of. I think most people just want to enjoy that and want to end the negativity for a while. If Matthews has these streaks for his whole career then you can call him streaky. It's been one season, and the rookies you mentioned earlier have all had some point droughts. Enjoy the moment. It won't kill you.

More stellar d by Reilly....

Choking this game away leafers.

Au revoir playoffs.

Lets go leafs

Bad defensive breakdowns...

I love how we never cover the points

Wow...they all look like Matthews out there.
- Steven_Seagull

actually, yeah. They look like the Matthew of the past 3 weeks.

How do you sh1t the bed so completely in this situation.

I've seen Winnipeg games where Laine ight as well have been in the press box. Same with Crosby and Ovechkin.

Because Leafs?

Z should have stayed on his man and let the guy shoot.

This is the time where vezina Reimer comes out

When Laine isn't scoring he looks useless. He's much less involved in the play than Matthews is, partly due to being a winger I admit.

Again, I wish it was cherry-picking, but there is a HUGE pile of poop in our prospect list. It doesn't help that our best young guys are already on the Leafs, but I hope no one is counting on Korshkov, Kapanen, Dermott, Bracco et al, ad continuing a steady stream of talent.

That blog MiB did this week was really depressing.

Now Florida stepped into the trap.

He's playing compete 200ft game, he's creating chances out of nothing, making his linemates better.

He hasn't been invisible in the least.
