coastal.view Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 well the laffs maybe should just hire crawford to their coaching staff he did a fine job with matthews during the 1 year matthews played for him in europe he can be a buffer if this minor waft of smoke really means anything matthews is viewed by many as a superstar to generational type player i think that is a bit overhyped but i doubt any coach, even babcock, can win a fight with a player of that magnitude and potential babcock certainly is in a rare situation himself given his apparent solid position in toronto but fans will want babcock turfed before matthews and the toronto upper brass knows the fans cannot be ignored (remember the jerseys on the ice incidents) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rekker Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I think there is more to this. Mathews just doesn't strike me as a guy that likes to get pushed. While Babcock is a pusher. I wonder if Mathews would of developed better with some time playing CHL? He just seems to lack that battle you want from a number one franchise centreman.

Will be interesting to see how the relationship goes with Mathews, Babcock, fans, contracts, PP time, etc goes. Team success will cover up a lot of things. But if it goes a little sideways there look out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
