Nope. No excuses.

There is absolutely no excuse to not backcheck, period.

So it's okay to not backcheck?

Gotchya...

ended up being a 2 on 2. he didn't do anything wrong.

Let's face it, Matthew is Yakupov 2.0

I don't like the offside reviews...never before in my whole time watching hockey can I recall any kind of contraversy over an offside call...not sure why it's even a thing, kills the flow of the game. Let the linesman call it, like baseball refs, let humans call it on the fly and let the chips fall where they may

ya the reviews are dumb

Agreed. Review should just be did cross the goal line or no.

Other than stand there for 2 seconds after the play went the other way..

One time last year when Nylander didn't backcheck in the Calder cup playoffs everyone lost their poop and called him lazy.. I'm not saying Matthews is lazy, just saying he should have at least tried harder to get back into the play.

I can understand the irrational criticism of Matthews from Leaf haters, but from Leaf fans?



Sundin all over again.

Goal line calls, high stick goals, basically stuff to do with the puck entering the net. Other than that, (frank) it, let the refs and linesmen call it.

Stfu death breath...

I just made a simple observation and it was my own.

You don't have to agree or even comment. I've never insulted AM and suggesting I did is taking a page out of sofadouches playbook..

Yes, I should have mentioned high stick as well. Agree.

It's a thing because of America. The same reason the shootout is a thing, the coach's challenge is a thing, and God forbid a game ends in a tie, is a thing

I don't mind the review, but at least get it right after reviewing it.

Probably saved us from the shootout embarrassment anyways
