Point has guys like Hedman, Sergachev, Cernak and McDonagh backing him up and also had Kucherov to hand him the puck when in the best spot possible to score or when Kuch opened up his lane, you could say that if Matthews was on the bolts team, you could very well say that Matthews would have been just as good, not defending Matthews, you just have to look at who the guy has on his team, the leafs can honestly count strictly on the big four on their team, Tavares, Matthews, Marner and Nylander, and they've only got one veteran puck moving defenceman, Morgan Reilly, even big Bo was playing like a puck mover in the playoffs, he played better in the playoffs than he ever did in peg or Buffalo, Point is a great player, I get you there, but Tampa has all these other players that clearly to cap cuts to build the team around them, and they also have Vasilevskiy, one player doesn't win the cup bro, a whole team does, even when Gretzky won those cups with the oilers, he did not do it alone, when the Iles won those cups, Bossy didn't do it alone, when the habs won all those cups, Lafleur didn't do it alone, not saying if the leafs ever win the cup that Matthews will do it alone, but they need better defenceman for them to win it, all the guys you compared to Point winning this year, don't have the big four defenceman he has to win the cup, yes they do have phenomenal playmakers on the team but you also need good defenceman and more than one to do so
