Fantastic. Now let’s get to and through the second round.

This is REAL leadership from Tavares. Sometimes it’s about stepping into a new role more than always being ‘the guy’

JT should be a club legend for this one

Mathew’s forehead is a snipers dream.

Surely this makes him the youngest captain in leafs history?
Aggressive_Form1904
have they annouced the assistants?

This is much ado about nothing. Anyone who thinks this will make an iota of difference is simply delusional

That fly that landed on Auston’s head had a lot of runway.

This must be crushing tavaris’s soul.
Sad that the leafs forced him to do that.
You should have traded him and then gave Mats the C
egorf38
what an embarrassing thing to ask tavares to do. youre stripping him of the captaincy and presenting the new one with the new jersey.
its like being forced to train your replacement when you know youre getting laid off from your job
BIM-GUESS-WHAT
JT a real one for this. Absolute class act
RealGreenMonkey416
Did Auston find that pinstripe suit in the lost and found?

I thought the news article was speculation. Damn.

Pretty sure like the main role of captaincy off ice – increased spotlight, media availability and showing up to corporate events

Definitely forehead this.

JT happy he doesn’t have to do so many post game interviews anymore.

I guess this is a very unpopular opinion – I really don’t care who the captain is.

In my head, when Tavares was first signed I always assumed he would pass the knowledge, experience and captaincy to Matthews towards the latter years of his contract.

Is it me or does JT look like he gained weight?

Tavares is such a goddamn professional. As others have pointed out, this is ironically such a good captain move to be there to literally pass the captaincy on.
I have zero doubt that in a few years people will look back at this as a mistake and it will be widely accepted that Tavares is the better choice for captain. Matthews’ precedent-shattering, player-first contract negotiations alone should have been enough to show that he is not a leader or team player. Tavares is a real one and I’m almost certain he’s going to re-sign on a sweetheart deal.

Matthews looks really happy and proud here!
As a Sens fans, you GOTTA drop Marner; the rest of the team is very likeable. I find myself rooting for the Leafs sometimes because of my friend’s and families affilation with the Leafs, but Marner is everything bad about the fandom distilled into one guy.

That’s gotta be fucking harsh for Tavares. Bet that stings

fuck man that’s a beautiful photo. I’m tearing up over here!

I read something about this possibly happening the other day, and, after seeing the photo just now, I find this both interesting and see nothing but GOOD things about to happen and I also believe that both JT and Auston may have previously discussed this between them during the off-season and this is also a GOOD move for the Leafs! Good luck as the new captain of the Leafs and let’s go win that cup!!

Auston needs a forehead reduction.

I expected the unhinged portion of our fanbase to show up in force today and MAN was I not disappointed.

Peaceful transition of power
Matthews needs a hair transplant
Always a class act from Tavares.
