To be fair Matthews scored the Game 6 winner. But he's not a captain the way, say, McDavid is. Should have kept the C on Tavares. Or traded for Marchand. He can't beat you if he's on the team......
Yes, Matthews scored, but only because of a bad turnover by Ekblad and Forsling on a failed zone exit.
in these circonstances, even a 4th line player could have scored.
I watched that goal, it was a sweet shot he got lucky on. But all 4 lines of the Vancouver Canucks miss on that chance over and over again. So he's a skilled player. But he's not a captain.
Bite me bud!!! They lost to a better team. Best playoff run in decades and took the defending champs to 7 games. I would have loved to see them win it all but I’m still proud of that team!!!!
He has always had ZERO accountability for himself. That is not leadership. Like Kyper said, the passengers need a DRIVER!!!!!
Would never want him on my team. Go back & play in Europe, Auston. It’s obviously too much for you here.
Never liked Matthews. He is a smug son of a bitch who takes no responsibility. He is a typical spoiled brat who only cares about himself. He is no leader. They should rip the C from his jersey and give it to Tanev and then ship Matthews off to some US team for draft choices.
You know what leaders do when there are passengers? They throw them on their back and push on. Matthews doesn't seem to have much experience carrying a team.
His last team title is from 2016 when he was in the Swiss League as a kid.
Remember back in tge day hearing some Leaf fan I used to k ow say Mathews would rock, while Hed slag tge Oilers and McDavid over and over again for being young and overrated. Gotta love Leaf fans, lord knows why
He was invisible most of the series and especially in game 7. He should be ashamed to say such a thing considering he was one on the biggest passengers
Marner will be gone, & they took off his A. Notice that?
Sign JT & put the C back on him. Bring back Nick Robertson.
Put Mathews on the 3rd line or 4th until he learns how to hit & dig for the puck, not just shoot & watch it slide right past him to the other side players. Or trade him for a goalie!
JT was Captain for yrs already with the exact same results…over and over and over again. They aren’t a playoff built Team . Way too soft . Leafs have to blow up this Team unless the Fans only want a great season and nothing in the playoffs. IMO
This is true. JT is at least captain material… the only other guys on this team who deserve the C would be Tanev or my pick (not that I care lol)… Knies.

It's time for the Leafs to have discussions about moving on from these 2 pretty boys and get some battlers.
Both are just interested in getting maximum salaries, not winning.
Matthews didn't dominate shit.
And I'd be happy to bite you but I don't want to get rabies.

This Leaf franchise is an embarrassing joke.
