Yeah, he's five years older but he had to adjust to a completely different game on different ice. No one ever mentions that though.

spending parts of six years in the KHL certainly didn't help him

Welcome to leaf blogs. Not only is Matthews> Mcdavid. But Eklund even said on talk show that Matthews>Crosby already in his career. Leafs media at its finest.

Ok but if you really think about it and have some sort of weird pent up Buffalo anger then Eklund=Toronto Media=All Toronto Fans. Seriously. It's right there in front of your face.

i didn't look at it that way. wow.

I'm Eklund!

Ummmm I'm a flyer fan...not Leaf media.

I think Eichel is awesome. If I had to chose between him and Matthews, I'd probably take AM. However they are in the same tier....which is below McDavid and Crosby.
- stormey

I think that pretty much sums it up.

McDavid/Crosby
Eichel / Matthews / Laine
Werenski? Marner? Nylander ...

Matthews will end up in jail one day. He looks like a psychopath. Probably has someone locked up in his basement as we speak.
- ghostofRC

Agreed. I'm also not sure how Laine survived being shot multiple times by Sgt. Al Powell. While we're on it, how is he not in jail for the hostage situation if he survived?

It is!

My favourite derp is the people who aren't waiting a few months to get confused and attribute all this to crazy Leafs fans... they are confused and blaming Leafs fans for this already when pretty much every Leafs fan comment on the comparison freely admits McDavid is the better player.

In fairness I only bashed the media and prock

I think I may have seen ONE post by a Leaf fan that said Matthews would have the better career because of inuries. ONE. And NO agreements to that post .

Only way your comment is anywhere near valid is if EK is a Leaf fan

Marincin, Rychel, Valiev, Grundstrom, and a 2019 2nd for Doughty

I think that pretty much sums it up.

McDavid/Crosby
Eichel / Matthews / Laine
Werenski? Marner? Nylander ...
- Aetherial

Laine is good but doesnt belong that in that tier. He cant lead his team and needs a center to get him the puck. Dont even start with Marner and Nylander being in the next tier.

Marincin, Rychel, Valiev, Grundstrom, and a 2019 2nd for Doughty
- Aetherial

HAHA LOL

try Matthews,Nylander,Marner and 3 firsts you delusional LAFFS fan!!!

This. Is. Awesome.
- SolidGoldBricks

Your post is both accurate (McDavid is better), and rediculous (Matthews is a "solid" player).

Matthews scored 40 goals as a 19 year old, playing C, with rookies as his wingers. Better than McDavid? No. A generational talent in his own right? Yes.
- W_1

Gretzky, Orr, Lemieux, Belliveau, Richard....those are generational players. McDavid has the tools, and MAYBE he will be one...Matthews? I don't think he will be included in that group.

As an aside, is it just me or does Matthews like himself a lot? I bet his mirror is worn out...reminds me of Kessel.
