A New LOW For The Toronto Maple Leafs 😬 Ft. TSN’s Darren Dreger | FN Barn Burner

Pinder and Cabbie are joined by TSN’s Darren Dreger to break down what might be a new low for the Toronto Maple Leafs this season after Auston Matthews took a knee from Radko Gudas and went down with an injury — with little response from teammates in the moment. The guys discuss the reaction around the league and Morgan Rielly taking ā€œfull responsibilityā€ afterward for not responding to the hit. The conversation then shifts to the bigger picture as the crew debates what this moment says about the Leafs’ identity and what it could mean for the future of the team — and Matthews’ future in Toronto.

  1. CHIS PRONGER SAID IT BEST MATTHEWS ONLY PLAYS WHEN HE SHOOTS THE PUCK EH??? OTHER THAN THAT HE COULD GIVE A SHIT EH??? LEAF FANS ARE BEING RIPPED OFF MAN EH????

  2. Its no different than Perry taking out Tavares (even if accidentally) in the playoffs
    Its no different than Gudas screaming at your rookie goalie in the playoffs
    Its no different than Staal taking a slapshot at your captain on an empty net
    Its no different than Bennett taking your goalie out
    Its no different than Bennett suplexing Knies and knocking him out of a playoff series
    Its no different than Marchand licking your players in a scrum
    Its no different than Chariot punching your star center in the face in the playoffs
    Its no different than Zadorov boarding Matthews
    Its no different than Zadorov on Laughton
    Its no different than Bennett on Bunting
    Its no different than Marchand on Liljgren
    Its no different than Marchment running Stolarz
    Its no different than Dunn on Kadri
    This is the culture (lack thereof) of the Team

  3. Gudas is a pos, end of story. He drove his knee through Matthews. The team needs to be traded, they didn't do anything. its crazy how little they care about each other.

  4. I am glad that they didn’t respond immediately. They needed the 5 minute PP and the victory. Revenge is a dish best served cold. Sign a couple utter goons from the Quebec Senior League in time for the rematch at the end of the month. I would rather see a real message get sent, as opposed to the half hearted protests we would have seen from Nylander et al.

  5. Matthews already has his money. He's fleeced the Leafs three times before his 30th birthday and you've gotten poor effort when it counts. The Auston Matthews who showed up during the Olympics was engaged and excited: the Auston Matthews that plays in Toronto is not — He is THE PROBLEM (in many ways: not a leader, cap hell, shows up when he feels like it, apparently his teammates don't think much of him to take a punch for him), not the solution.

    Move on. Get the huge haul of young players and picks he would command.

  6. I left this team when they let go the Bennett elbow to Stolarz head. You guys keep watching šŸ‘€ and torturing yourselves.

  7. Gutless cowards! Nothing from big bad Bruin "winnie the pooh" Carlo? Nothing from a useless coward rielly? What a fcking disgrace! If Wendel Clark was on the ice, Crapo Gudas would have needed to have his jaw wired shut! DISGUSTING!

  8. He’s not hurt
    Get the fuck up and go to the bench on your own
    I wonder if Matthews would even lift a finger to help a teammate who was hurt on a dirt play

  9. I have two trains of thought with this. One is why is Austin Matthews playing to begin with? He’s not looked 100 percent, even prior to the Olympic break. Toronto isn’t in the playoff hunt, so why was’t he shut down to prevent something that could affect next season? I could understand if Toronto was in the playoff mix, but they aren’t.

    Two, why did no one in blue decide to give anyone on the other team some pain? I’ll switch this to baseball 20 years ago. If a pitcher hit a Boston Red Sox player up and in, and looked intentional. The very next game Pedro Martinez pitched against that team, he was going to get even. That didn’t happen last night.

  10. Leaf fans SHOULDN’T be surprised by player apathy over Matthew’s hit. They WON’T avenge a hit on a guy who WON’T do the same for them. Period. Matthews is a lousy leader, and self absorbed. You can’t blame Marner anymore, bitches. So WHO do you think is responsible for the metastasizing locker room cancer if not Marner? Please, be serious. It should be obvious by now. Ask Matthews to wave the trade clause and move on.

  11. Gees…it only took 10 years to realize that the Leafs were constructed wrongly by the fans, the media and the assholes ownership of Bell and Rogers. While everyone else knew that the Leafs weren't going anywhere.

  12. Difficult hit sure but it wasn't deliberate. He was trying to check him and Matthews tried to dodge with an unfortunate result. Not suspension worthy at all but because it's Matthews he'll get a couple of games. Matthews is twisting out of the way of a check and Gudas momentum carried through. I'm no Gudas fan, can't stand him really, but the intent just isn't there. I don't have a problem with the Leafs either I just can't stand all this biased fanboy crap y'all are spewing.

  13. That is why the team fell apart.
    Marner was a P
    Nylander is a P
    That is the attitude that the leafs need to change.
    If Willie won't lay a hit or take a bruise and play both ways effing get rid of him too.
    Bunch of candy asses.

  14. There's a disconnect for sure, Chief is a man, no pussy, and the rest of the Leafs are all gd chicken shit wussies. In the real world, you don't listen to your boss, your fired. These pretentious lil bitches are pathetic

  15. Endlessly scream 'elbows up' for the past year, wail and cry when your captain (citizen of The Great Satan no less) is on the receiving end of that 'Elbows up' calibre of play.
    I no longer resent the Leafs being called 'Canada's Team', the performative victimhood of their fans describes our national character perfectly.

  16. is he just a douche nozzle irl? could it be political, perhaps? and by political, I mean the whole team USA/Patel/Trump stuff…*shrugs*. at any rate, somebody should have done something, lol. def. wouldn'tve happened had that been Clark, Gilmour or Sundin…

  17. With the season pretty much done why didn’t somebody like Pezzeta hop over the boards and go after Gudas. Suspension be damned. My guess is the culture designed by Taveras, Matthews, Reilly, Nylander has been exposed. Do any one of those guys drop the mitts for any other teammate? I don’t think so. This is the result.

  18. Anybody remember when Tavares got smoked in the playoffs a few years back? Same thing , nobody did anything in JTs defence.These guys never had to fight growing up because they were so skilled. It’s their DNA.
