“Matthews is the greatest Leaf” - Auston Matthews scores 50th goal in 54 games

He’s good, he’s actually great, but to be the greatest you’re gonna need to bring a cup home to this town!

[@echo-kh5ms]

so who is the greatest leaf in your opinion then? a player on the leafs berfore 1968 where there were only 6 teams and it much easier to win a cup or any player after cause your only argument for Matthews not being the best leaf is he hasn't won a cup yet

[@andrewmachado6988]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. None of this means nothing if the leafs don’t make the playoffs, or don’t go deep into the post season and get eliminated in the first round as previous years.

[@MikeC-nu7ty]

It means plenty, for the regular season. Build a proper team around Matthews and maybe he has a shot at getting a cup. Shitty teams with a couple great offensive players do not win cups.

[@andrewmachado6988]

@@MikeC-nu7ty How are they supposed to “build a proper team around Matthews” if they have no cap space to sign any players? Trade deadline will come and go and Leafs will make no significant moves or sign anyone worth a damn.

[@MikeC-nu7ty]

@andrewmachado6988 you sit pretty until Tavares' and Marners contracts are about up 1.5 years. Sign them to something reasonable or fire them into the sun. Then you build around Matthews and Nylander while they're still in their primes. Simple. Or you continue to be buyers at the deadline when this team is 3 top 4 D, a goalie and a ton of depth scoring away from being a cup contender and waste the entire Matthews era because the fan base has for some reason believed we've been in "win now" mode for 5 years straight meanwhile our stars are just now beginning to enter their prime. And yes. How many goals matthews scored in the regular season matters just as much if he does or doesn't have a cup. It's still the regular season. There are a ton of incredible players that are looked back at as being top players in the NHL that unfortunately didn't ever have the proper team around them to win a cup. It's just as much luck as it is being a dominant player. Every cup winner has solid goaltending, great defense, depth scoring, and 3-4 players that could have won the Conn Smythe. It's not a one player game. It's not basketball where an all star literally can carry a team to a win.

[@joeflake5829]

He is the greatest regular season goal scorer in the history of the leafs, but to be in the conversation of greatest leafs he will have to win multiple cups, which doesn't look likely. This team is built for regular season success, but when the competition heats up in the playoffs the overall softness of this team will be exposed.

[@glennleybourne145]

So since they haven’t won in 50 something years so saying he’s the greatest player is pretty much a fact now

[@TheMightyOdin]

@@glennleybourne145They have 13 cups. It’s disrespectful to those players. Rick Vaive got 50 goals in the 80’s. We had players that played with broken bones to win the cup.

[@joeflake5829]

@@glennleybourne145 No, he said the greatest leaf with no qualifying factors like you are now. Even going with your qualifier my point stands, he is the best regular season scorer. For me, it is about winning championships, so if he goes his whole career with no Cup, then he will be less of a player than many of the great Leafs in history. He will be a remembered as a player could only score. Even Austin knows that.

[@davestewart3555]

Meredith Shaw is really pretty.

[@Katie-hb8iq]

As amazing as Matthews, Nylander and Rielly is this year, I still think that even if they beat Boston, they won't beat Florida. Getting Hannifan or Tanev is just not enough to beat a team like Florida. You need more key players that tick checkboxes the Leafs are not currently checking, and a system change to take on a team of that style. It's a horrible matchup for the Leafs. I dunno what Brad Treliving can do, but I think you need Juuse Saros too. I just don't see how they do it.

Just being an honest Leaf Follower.😀 Also, am glad to sort out facts anytime. Kadri, Kessel and Bozak are NHL players with playoff success. Of course - with the structure of this Leaf team - they didn’t earn it until they left Toronto. Keon and Gilmour had some measure of playoff success in Toronto. I think we agree - no playoff runs equals no playoff success.
