I have to say, you Toronto guys are good sports. I tried to get y'all riled up with those comments, no one bit.
If Matthews is buying in to this Tavares signing, it's going to be a fun season for Toronto fans.

You get thick skin after 50 years of being the brunt of a lot of jokes, lol
Mathews has said he’s pumped. Good players want to play with good players.
As someone said on Twitter...
Imagine being hemmed in your own end in the second period with the long change, against Matthews, Nylander and Hyman, then look up as the Leafs are changing, and Tavares, Marner and Marleau jump on.... just put the puck in your own net at that point, lol
And that doesn't even count the third line with Kadri and a host of young fast wingers, like Johnsson and Kapanen.
I’m not blinded enough to see that they don’t still need some upgrade on the defense. But there’s a coupl Marlies players that could slot in and be real players soon enough. Plus they’re going after De Haan, hoping they don’t try to over pay him though.
And about Tavares, the more interviews I hear, the more I am impressed.. this guy is intelligent and focused. He had lists of questions for every team in the interviews, and money wasn’t the issue. I listened to one interview and my first thought was, someday this guy is going to walk out of the dressing room and into a front office job.
Now the only question is, do I get a Matthews jersey, or a Tavares jersey?
