Matthews/ Konecny

[OldTimeHockey]

I?m not stating he should have dropped his gloves. I understand with his wrist injury that is the last thing I would want to see is him missing time. It?s the standing around and smirk that didn?t look good and it?s not the first time as I said.

I like the cockiness. Not all players can be stone faced like Tavares.

Absolutely no way should Matthews be fighting, however I don't like the smirk either.

If you're at a point where you're getting riled up about a player's facial expression then you need to gain some perspective on life somehow. Pet a dog or kiss a tree or something.

Yeah. Players showing a little personality is not a bad thing. Some well earned cockiness is fine. I might have issues with some 4th liner/AHL scrub doing the same, but the reigning Hart trophy winner who has led the league in goals for the last two seasons? He's absolutely earned the right to be cocky.

It's focusing on stupid things like this that leads players to put the Leafs on the NTC lists. We need to put the microscope away and take a step back.

Why the f would his smile be a problem? If other players can't handle Matthews' being condescending, maybe they should play better.

Because some people aren't happy without something to whine about.
