You could say he is having a cold streak
I’m not a hockey expert but that seems bad
Someone said chill because of the break when he went 7 leafs games with no goals…
I hope he doesn’t score again this season. Let’s tank
Maybe he needs a conditioning stint with the Marlies.
The team sucks but are we really gonna imply this guy cant score goals anymore
Max Domi isn’t maximizing Matthews? Huh, shocking.
Not sure if hes given up or hurt but hes lobbing softies at the net. Not scoring like that.

Honestly, shut him down and pretend he has a crippling wrist injury that needs to be rehabbed to save face.
Also I think it’s fascinating that Nylander is relentlessly scrutinized in Toronto media while AM continues to be given a long leash. You would think it was Wily who hasn’t scored 42 days.
my guy is helping us tank and we still complaining
It would be great if they would at least acknowledge something is wrong. He’s still a very good player – he makes plays, generates offense, wins battles, is a takeaway machine, etc. That said, the other day I was watching clips from games 5 years ago, and it is so obviously clear that he’s not the same player. The guy 5 years ago would come in one on one against the defender and just rip shots from the circles. He was a weapon from anywhere – he’s just not anymore. Most of his shots are one timed snapshots. He mixes in the occasional wrist shot, but it’s not as dangerous as he once was.
I see a lot of people pointing to his Olympic (points) performance as a reason why this could be a coaching issue. While I don’t think using him as a defense-first player is the best use, I watched all of those USA games and let me tell you – he was the same player as he is with the Leafs currently. He was not the old Matthews.
So I thought Matthews would go on a heater after the Olympics. I kept picking him to score on the Tims app. Obviously he has not but I keep picking him. It’s helping with the tank so I shall not stop until he flukes one in.
The teams in shambles does it really matter
Sabres game was the last one I went too, sorry guys I’m cursed
He looks like a wrestler who got off the roids. Just a shell of himself out there. But still a beast on face-offs and good defensive stick!

Goat stuff
What being forced to play like Phil Danault does to mf.
Seriously next season 34 needs to be off the PK except for at the end and take a lot more OZ draws.
What Berube is doing is treating a Mustang like its a Bronco and being surprised when the car gets wrecked because you took it off-roading
Kind of shitty that were adding the Olympic break to this count lol
Haven’t won anything with him here. Why do we need to keep him ?
It would be good to see him get a few before the end up the season. Not even to get him going, just show us you still can dude.
Give us some little tiny positive thing going into the offseason
Yes, we are tanking. Stop these posts.
Be thankful. Let’s fucking lose and then use him properly next year
Someone told him, treat every game like it’s a game 7
Tank you very much Auston 🙏
This captain is out here tanking to help this franchise and this is the thanks he gets.
What if one of the top 5 picks is the next Marner?
