With full health restored and new leadership in place, Matthews is ready to prove himself—not just to the team but to himself—aiming for a Stanley Cup run. Veteran analyst Mike Rupp is bullish, predicting over 40 goals and calling last year “subpar” despite Matthews’ still-solid output. The Leafs’ roster upgrades, including top scorer Gavin McKenna and veteran goalie Sergei Bobrovsky, plus a new coach’s aggressive system, are designed to support him. This could be Matthews’ defining comeback season—and if Rupp’s confidence is right, it’ll be one for the ages. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
