Crosby is a real leader
I'm a LEAFS fan but not a Matthews fan. Saying that, Matthews over Tkachuk for captain any day. Tkachuk cant even spell captain.
It’s MAGA. There’s a huge campaign against Latin Americans right now, not sure if you heard.
Matthews is not a good leader
Matthews is a plug 🔌.. trade him get a few 1st round picks a roster player and a few buckets 🪣 of pucks
He hasn’t been the leader since Mitch Marner left and to not play much for the leafs but goes to the Olympics is just not right and I think that is bull and the “C” should be taken away until he proves himself as a leader
Most Matthews haters have extremely low hockey iq
Get off his back. He's a superstar. . We'd love to have 2 ore like him.
look at that country's president–they do not want a composed, quiet leader. They want a trump-like figure who's very loud and boisterous and who may have had way too much of the same DNA recycled over and over lol
Austin Matthew’s looked like a regular NHL player next to the real superstars
A bunch of slow hockey fans on here. Those who think Matthew's is not an elite player, are clueless.
Leafs wanted him to have the "C" for jersey sales only.
The real problem is Bad Brad Trevaling. The worst GM in the history of the club. Worse than John Ferguson Jr. The tank year. Fire Bad Brad today.
A superstar is supposed to lead and be the superstar on the ice. Matthews needs to be fed the puck in order to score. Very plane player with a great shot but other teams have figured him out.
trade matthew's for a couple of 1st round picks and a very good dman…
As a Canadian Leaf fan, I hope Captain 69 performs the way he does for the Leafs. You know fold when the chips are down.
Hes playing with a whole team of superstars… McDavil looked average on a team of superstars the other night. Hes still the best scorer in the NHL and a superstar.
Even a fool should have known that Rielly should have been named captain!
Matthews is not a leader and it's not by example, you need a vocal aggressive style captain if it were me it would be Laughton, McCabe, Tanev, Domi you don't lead a hockey team by example it's a small part of it and he is afraid of the media half the time .
I just get a feeling that Matthews doesn't like playing in Canada. He doesn't hate Canada but would love to play in LA or NY. That is just my feeling. That is the image I see.
Why are these guys gobbling and glazing Matthews. For what?
He had 1 goal in his last 8 games heading into the Olympics.
Love the excuses that he’s “evolving, adding layers to his game and blocking shots” to avoid the issue that he’s been on the decline for two straight seasons now.
Without Marner he's nothing, besides a good shot. I hate the leafs for the way they treated Marner!! Everyone gets contracts but him!!! And it looks good on you now, idiots!
I don't think Mathews wants to be captain.Too much pressure in Toronto.I don't think Tavares did either.Look how well he plays without the C.
It seems like Toronto’s management decided on that, not him. Why is he hated when he never asked for it? Why is hated even though he was among the best player on almost every team he’s played, including on US last year, so far in the Olympics this year, consistently one of the best in Toronto. “But he’s not emotional/passionate, or a winner” Neither is McDavid..
It is the same narrative from NHL clubs and their fans. Any player on the Leafs even American will always be judged. Still love Matthews, he is a great player. Just trolls trying to stir shit. It has been always been the objective of other fans to try and break the passion and love for the Leafs that we have.
Marner should be team Canada captain
… ask his father
T
BT is cap of Ottawa Sens
Austy ok
He has to earn our respect
Is the estrogen produce by the ingestion of soy beans 🫘 so shut up
We don't really care about your opinion
Shut your mouth 🤐 🤫.
Is this what you two have come to ?? Praising his play and looking the other way ?? Would love to see what you are seeing
Dude, Toronto born guy here… Matthews is not the same player anymore. They’re right, you’re wrong and coping hard.
3:11 dude Mathews is probably top 5 worse leader in the history of the league… should had been trade by thr ML years ago.
Wake up leafs… mathews is not and never HAS been captain quality. And he is, as I've said a hundred times now… a 2nd liner on any team, without a Marner setting him up.
And literally.. all he has is a decent shot. Not an nhl elite shot.
Leafs cannot get rid of him quick enough.
Stop trying to candy coat the obvious you guys..
Matthew should have never given the C that should have stayed on Johnny Toronto bottom line.
