What are your feelings if Matthews plays in 4 nations but time off before and after that tournament? Especially if Matthews performs very well in the tournament.
MacLean, show some respect to Bryan Murray!...MUCKLER was the Sens GM that blew the Kopitar draft. He took Brian Lee (who played 209 games, almost as many as Brule). Like you, MUCKLER, could have picked Marc Staal, Statsny, kopitar, Rask, Oshie...etc
I'm gonna echo what the panel is saying, especially Sammy. If there ANY QUESTION, AT ALL; about AM34's health come the 4 Nations Tournament, sorry for Team USA, but Auston is contractually obligated to serve the Toronto Maple Leafs', and to do everything to ensure that he's worth every single dollar they've invested in him. if this tournament threatens his health, or forces him to make a tough decison regarding participation (even if he's not close to 100%), then Treliving, Shanahan, and Berube have to sit him down and ask him, respectfully, to sit this out.. The Americans chance to win this thing doesn't ride on the shoulder sof Auston Matthews. Not by a long shot. Even a player like McDavid. If Canada lost McDavid for health reasons, it wouldn't be enough to sideline the team, and that's being charitable (because Matthews doesn't mean the same to Team USA as McDavid does to Team Canada, all due respect). Matthews may be my favorite player in the world. My favaorite player of a generation. But there's till a gap between him and Jesus McChrist.
Maybe i should stop listening to these shows as an American when they talk about matthews. When he was out they were screaming for him to play and now that he’s playing they don’t get why he’s trying to fight through it and be out there with his brothers? Shocking dialogue going on here
Because everyone wants prime Matthews back and not the hurt version we have now. If he’s missing practice before a game I don’t think he should be starting against a bottom feeder team. We know they can play without him so why not let him actually recover and then we can stop making excuses for him.
@ i get it but if he were to miss games this same show would be losing their minds off why isn’t he playing and how “soft” Of a captain he is. Can’t have it both ways
To be completely fair to them, the Leafs have been far from transparent about Matthews injury status and the severity of his injury and the timeline of his return. You should always be willing to change your opinion when presented with new information.... I understand the sentiment of your comment, the whiplash definitely doesn't go unnoticed lol .
I Disagree guys .If Murray returns to his old form and he is 100% healthy there is NO WAY I am flipping him at the deadline for a draft pick .WHy would you flip a proven CUP WINNER ( 2 time ) who is healthy for a pick ? If I am the Leaf brass I am carrying 3 goalies down the strech and into the playoffs ,THe cap hit is not an issue .The only issue is that they will tie up an extra roster spot -who cares -after the trade deadline the roster limit expands from 23 to 27 anyway
Fridays with Doug are priceless
You ask a question or opinion and just listen to Mac go off in a tangent 🎉
Doug is the salt and pepper of this show....he will spice it up , every time he is in...
Fantastic show! Doug is a gem but we already knew that.
Great Show boys.
Good show
For the record - Owen Power has the same number of Stanley Cups as Doug Maclean 🤣

The guy on the far right is an absolute clown. I remember him going off after last years playoff exit claiming they needed to tear the core down.
He might be correct. Will they lose again in the first round?
@Rick-C-117 do you think they move one of those guys if they lose out again in round 1?

Murray backstopped a Stanley Cup run.
If he's playing at or near his best, we should keep him on. He could be huge in the playoffs.

Could Morgan make a great left winger
Freeman ?
As for OV attempting to break WG record. Check the shooting percentage. It makes it too late and not as good as Wayne Gretzky.
They’ll be eating their words on the Matthew’s thing.
Thank you, every show from the great N.K🤡
Only thing people have been eating is word salad...no meat and potatoes when it comes to Mr Matthews.
@@grantclarkson9184 I guess. Typical troller
murray will show up every game give him four and it will be hard for stolarz to get back in
