Montreal was the 12th seed in the East in points percentage. I must have missed the traditional seasons where the 12th seed got it.

Winnipeg 9th so same.

Anyone who puts marner up with Mcdavid is an idiot.

Draisaitl would have just as many goals and as many points as mcdavid if the two played together then draisaitl would be the MVP.

At 5v5 wingers do less. You know what I don't care. You are about as ridiculous as anyone can get on here. I don't want to waste anymore time.

Winnipeg is not a slouch of a team they are maybe a D man from being a perennial favorite.

Montreal is a good team but they have to win all their games by grinding they don't have offensive drivers just physical play. Tatar was big for them in offense but he's fallen off.

Kane's value to the Hawks is much higher than Matthews's value to the Leafs. Kane has 30 points in 20 games, 2nd highest on the hawks has 17 points. If anything I think Marner should be in the Hart conversation. He has more points than Matthews and is a +16 compared to Matthews +8 (this stat is very telling because they are on the same line). Matthews is on a heater and scoring goals at an unsustainable shooting %. He has 11 assists. Muzzin, Marner, Tavares and Rielly have equal or more assists. When I watch a Leafs game I don't see him driving play and carrying his team. On the PP he is stationary and doesn't make the passes that get the other team moving. Marner is the key in Toronto imo

Of course he’s not 200 ft. At best he is like 6-3”

Matthews is a good 2 way player
But McDavid is the clear MVP

You should seriously try watching hockey with your eyes open.

This is top to bottom bad. The shooting percentage is a bit high. But that puts him on pace for over 50 goals. Can he sustain it? Who knows. I wouldn’t be shocked to see him around the 20% mark.

Matthews does it all and he drives the entire team. Trying to look at points and assists to disparage what he does is just plain stupid.

Ah yes, I've seen this before. A classic case of Leafsfanemia. Generally goes away after a first-round exit or 1 bad game from Freddy or Nylander

the leafs are the clear cut best in the division

No actually
They would both have double what they have now

That is 100% not me. Just a hockey fan with a grip on reality. Reality is Matthews is very very good. Not just at scoring goals either. Literally good everywhere on the ice with it without the puck.

Yea no doubt but I'd put at least Marner, McDavid and Kane ahead of him in the Hart race. Overall he's a top 5 player on most peoples list

That’s pretty silly. Mcdavid and Matthews are neck and neck. Kane is up there and marner is down the list a bit. Maybe top 5.

I expect these kind of takes on twitter not cap friendly.

So Matthews is tied for being the best player in the world and Marner is top 5? I put McDavid, MacKinnon, Pastarnak ahead of him 100%. Kucherov, Panarin, Draisaitl, Marner, Eichel and Kane are on his tier imo. Matthews will cool off in the next few weeks and people will stop comparing him to McD.

insecure

Where did I say anything negative about Matthews 200-ft game? Please respond to what I wrote, not what some other posters wrote.

good one bro u got me good!

no need to be sensitive about it, dont be a mental midget

Yeah, that always happens when I take your arguments apart. Have a nice day, sir.

Leafs fans are a different breed

LOL

Truth.

I'm confused what ur issue is with me lol. Why turn to insults instantly, we're just debating about some hockey players
