You said matthews has to show it again to show he belongs, but you then say that it's based on last season. How do you not see the contradiction there? If we are basing off last year then how in the he'll isnt the 2nd leading goal scorer and leading even strength scorer not considered higher? - burn
He's bad at math as well. He said 15 when he meant 20. |

This is just silly.
Matthews is one of the best players in the league already. Whether he's top 3, top 5 or top 50. Kid is one of the most talented and exciting players in the league today.
You're just making excuses if you need to wait one or two or three years to admit it.

No I didn't lol.....I said " if he has another great year, I'll change my opinion and move him up the ladder".
If he has another great year, as in he puts up 80+ points, which would put him top 5/10 in scoring, then of course my opinion of him will change. |

Sid actually scored 102 points rookie year. How many did Matthews score again?
Then in his 2nd year scored 120.
Now, that's a champion players stats if we are going on points.
Matthews has a long way to go. A looooong waaaaaay to go..........
But Hof, yes. Let's get the votes going here on the Buzz. Austin in the hall! - Aussiepenguin
Not a reasonable comparison. Danny (POS) Heatley scored 103 points in that 2005-06 season when Crosby scored 102. Five players had more points than Crosby and 7 hit 100 points in the NHL that year. How many had over 100 last year ....... Crickets.....? yah, I thought so.

Hall of Fame. It's decided on here in the Leafs thread.
Austin Matthews belongs in the Hall of Fame after his 1st & only season. - Aussiepenguin

It's going to be a good rivalry for a long time. If they meet in the playoffs thats when the real and intense rivalry begins.

Not one Leafs fan commented in their blog gloating or chirping about the game. Yet he has to come in here to explain the two teams weren't dressing their regular starters. Yay |

Scheifele had one great year and moved up, Matthews needs to have another great year to move up. Ok.

Agreed.
However, Matthews is a better 2-way player then McDavid no? Honestly haven't watched McJesus much, but I don't think he is as strong defensively?
So if he is a better 200 foot player, then who besides Crosby is better then Matthews? - Hockey_Reverend
McDavid isn't as physically strong, but his defense is underrated - he's so goddamn fast with his feet and hands that he'll have the puck off you and going the other way in the blink of an eye. |

you're bending the debate, I simply formed an opinion based on last years results that leads me to believe Scheifele is currently a better player/center.
If the both score 80 points and Matthews has better under-lying numbers this year, then that opinion will change...how is that hard to understand?? |

How does this drag queen rate in this conversation? He's the best segway driver in the NHL maybe.

My favourite was that Sabres knob handjob or whatever his handle is in one of Tanner's threads yesterday, saying Matthews is the most overrated player ever lol. I know the Leafs not being a total disaster and a joke for the first time in forever is a lot to get used to but some trolls are really struggling with it. |

To be fair to Lefty, no one likes to give Leafs players (or management) any praise. The fact we're now seeing veiled credit given, or disclaimed underhanded compliments is a monumental step in the right direction.
There will always be reasons why Leafs players won't be considered as good as their numbers suggest, but as long as the team wins some trophies it doesn't matter what fans of opposing teams say |
