Inside The Leafs: Why are the Maple Leafs so successful without Auston Matthews?

[@Hydrog666]

The goalies aren't "standing on their heads". They're playing well as a team.

[@waynedawe1114]

The Leafs have a great team and when Matthews comes back watch out. I hope he plays tonight, The next 2 games are huge for the Leafs

[@SillySongs4Everyone2001]

The leafs are successful because the team isn’t fixated on always trying to get the puck to Matthews.. in fact it becomes a deterrent for the team.

[@bluethunder1951]

Regardless of how the team performs having a goalie with a .927 sv% the team can rebound from a bad loss.

[@tjlane3859]

I think it's because they give up a lot of shot opportunities looking to get the puck to him go leafs go

[@rapideye85]

We are not the lunatic fringe. There's no substitute for canadian players. How about that JT, huh?

[@seniormale]

He is a big soft man😂

[@SithisLich]

The media around the Leafs is so strange, if the teams doing well, crickets, if the team is doing bad, fire the coaches trade the whole team, off season good or bad, trade the whole team especially the star players.

Mathews not a team player. He demand the puck. Austin... no I in team.
