what happened to him

The fall off is absolutely fucking ridiculous

We took this shit for granted now he’s cooked

Of course we get a generational goal scorer who gets his powers taken away like space jam

Back is busted

It makes never getting a peep or word out of him or the Leafs so frustrating. We can all see you aren’t that guy anymore how many years do we need to wait to know why?

Trade him, the Matthews era is drawing to a close. Another leafs decade of darkness lay ahead.

He's utterly cooked #Matthews @MapleLeafs

He doesn’t have Marner to fed him the puck.

has to be a hip/lower back injury. He’s so stiff, can’t torque his body and open up for shots anymore. Not dynamic, super predictable and no intensity. Literally a 20% version of his true self, closer to Kampf than Barkov right now.

I know its bleak. But the truth is this guy in the clip was the best goal scorer in hockey ever. He was out pacing ovechkin. He did stuff of legendary status. He got injured and though not his fault.....he is not the same anymore. Its simply the truth. It sucks.

A combination of injuries and not giving a shit now that he got paid like the selfish man he is. Embarrassed to have a jersey of such a cancer, embarrassed to call the Leafs my team of rooting interest.

I drafted him in fantasy that’s what happened

It’s obviously his wrist. That thing will never be 100% healthy again

@nylanderthews I’m wondering if Berube’s system has stifled his production!! Or? 🤷‍♂️

Remember when he was chasing 70 and he violently crashed in the boards against Detroit? He's never been the same since.

He got paid and got the C. What an absolute insult to Tavares.

Too worried about the fashion show walk in before each game to even give a sht about the game that’s about to be played

back + wrist cooked

He got paid, everyone figured our he is a coward perimeter shooter and learned how to defend him, keep him further away and he lost his set up man! HE NEEDS TO GO ZACK!! the league is full of guys who do nothing and they don't charge $13MiLL

He lost Mitch marner feeding him dimes

Checked out 1000%. Wants to be elsewhere. Lost his buddy Mitch, Mitch is is warm weather low tax and no media. You’re lying if you’re saying that doesnt sound way better then the Toronto rat race

When they were drafted the Shanaplan was all in on SKILL and playing fast. Mgmt’s idea was that skill and desire along with top coaching (Babcock) would be enough. This was reinforced when Dubas took over. Blame mgmt not the players!!!

@nylanderthews They need to shut him down and get surgery on whatever is going on. They’ve burned 2 prime age years of his 4 year deal by prioritizing Team USA

Maybe Guérin is right, hockey players want to have fun, want to play good hockey. The vibes in TO remind of the Canucks.

Someone convinced him into becoming a ‘Selkie’ player He’s not and every conversation about it is about fanboy fantasy Just let him play

No Marner to feed him the puck.

He looks like Dubois prior to his trade out of CBJ. He looks like Hughes prior to his trade out of Van. He looks like JT Miller prior to his trade out of Van. He looks like Cozens prior to his trade out of Ottawa. Yeah, he won’t be a Leaf for much longer

Poor leader. No Marner. Injured. System play.

@nylanderthews Did he play tonight? He’s a 13m jag now unfortunately. Should of traded him

Whatever happened in game 4 2024 vs the bruins ruined him

Got paid.

Lost his Mitchy

Him lol this organization has been a fuckin joke for at least 60 years. Haven’t won a fuckin thing. Fuck the fans at this point would be happy to just get to a cup final never mind win the fuckin thing. Rebuild this shit already
