Alarmist stuff from Jonas.
As far as I’ve seen, Matthews hasn’t said anything? Just sorta grimaced at questions like this? Jonas’s piece takes as its assumption what cw outlined above, which definitely has a logic to it. I’m curious to see how it goes.
To date, Matthews hasn’t really impressed as this team’s captain, but I think there’s a real opportunity for him to meet the moment this off season. Doesn’t even need to declare blind, lifelong fealty to the Leafs or anything like that.
He can reject the notion that the team’s window’s closed and it’s circling the drain by noting how so much with the players went wrong this year — injuries all around, etc — express confidence in his and the core’s abilities, and then say, notwithstanding this season’s bad luck, it’s up to ownership to ensure there’s a strong plan and vision in place. Light a fire under Pelley to get a president to get a GM to get a coach that adds up to a team that can build a program worthy of the city and fans.
