IS IT TIME FOR THE LEAFS TO MAKE MATTHEWS THE CAPTAIN?



The Toronto Maple Leafs remade their d-corps and goaltending this offseason. Out are T.J. Brodie, Ilya Lyubushkin, Joel Edmundson, Mark Giordano, and Ilya Samsonov, in are Chris Tanev, Oliver Ekman-Larsson, and Anthony Stolarz. TSN’s Frankie Corrado and Bryan Hayes discuss whether the tinkering has them feeling confident about running it back with the core four again. As well, they tackle the captaincy questions: Should the Leafs give the captaincy to Auston Matthews from John Tavares?

  1. No that's a classless move if leafs do that they don't do you are a captain till you retire or get traded they made John because of experience Matthew's at that time was young couldn't been the captain bet all bets were off after he moon the security guard😮

  2. It's never time to make this creampuff your captain. However, this is Toronto we're talking about here, so I expect to see Mr. TummyAche, wearing the C, come pre-season. Another year down the toilet for this garbage team.

  3. You can’t take it away from JT, he is our captain! It’s more than his play, it’s the type of man he is. Go leafs 💙

  4. Look at all the closet leafs fans commenting saying “hahaabaahhhh he isn’t captain material” but yet they click on the video and watch it.

  5. Matthews is a kid and like Kane should just worry about scoring and not leading. There’s nothing wrong with that. It’s just what they’re best at

  6. Fire shanny fire Brad, this season moves a bust. To much to long that’s Brad middle name. Good gosh hopium

  7. I would use mitch marner like he used the leafs use him for the season get a lead going in to the deadline then trade him at the deadline for a cup

  8. Corrado ……how is a coach gonna make a player(s) score?
    Did any other coach change any of the core players style?
    9 YEARS!..9 YEARS!..9 YEARS!
    What team in any sport has done this?… LEAFS SUCK!

  9. Wasn't Matthews supposed to get the C like a few days before opening night in Tavares' second season. Remember why he didn't?

  10. So its Burube's job to get Marner to play tough and sacrifce the body. The first time Marner does a little dance and no look backhanded pass he better scream at him.
