Way too rich, the irony only gets better after some reflection.
The Leafs were a last place team. The Leafs are a last place team.
Matthews is not McDavid or Eichal or perhaps, even Laine or Puljujarvi. Yet Leaf fans have created this huge expectation around a kid that was not nearly the force of the Finns on the big stages of international hockey last year.
Not sure why the Leafs have delayed in signing him to a contract. Perhaps they think he is going to need some AHL development time. Nobody is hoping against Matthews, he should be a good player. But, there is absolutely nothing in his track record that suggests he will be an impact player in the NHL next year. Perhaps, there is a fatal flaw in the Leaf charism. If Matthews is put out head to head against veteran NHL centres every night and fans expect him to outperform all comers it is going to be a very long and disappointing winter for the blue and white.
I understand the importance of the summer season for Leaf fans. It is an opportunity to renew hope and create a bond with the team in the belief that next year will see the Leafs finally triumph. It is the Oiler model of a few years ago that had Yakupov (like Matthews, an older profile draft pick) dominating scoring in future NHL seasons or RNH being the slickest centre to come along in years.
Always keep in mind the notion that "we are different," is something that is really well understood. We know Matthews is not McDavid, not even close. We want to believe that he is better than Yakupov. Likely he is in the same range as RNH, but he will likely struggle to produce numbers as good as RNH got in his rookie year (18 goals, 34 assists in 64 games).

This whole BLM thing is bullpoop. It's a commie Marxist organization bent on destroying the traditional two parent, male and female, family, while promoting transgression on the traditional gender roles, aggressive alphabetized youth and society. |

Also, the BLM is anti masculine black male, and elevates the black woman above all in black society. Doesn't care about intra racial violence and criminality within the black community that makes their home environment unsafe. |

You do understand that the ‘B’ in BLM stands for Black right? Your diatribe above kind of missed that point. |
