The Company Milk, can you ask them to put the money they spent to advertise to tell people they need milk, can you ask them to put that money towards something more useful?. I know everyone needs to be told to drink milk but come on, how much does it cost to put Milk on your jersey?
Maybe this will force Matthews balls to drop and he’ll turn into an absolute machine.
Getting rag-dolled by Stamkos is not a good look for a captain.
Knocking on the door ? 😂
Now I need to add a C on my AM34 Jersey!
Auston kinda looks mid transistion
Need more than just a captain change
Can't wait for him to lose in the first round and hear his response as captain being just as bad if not worse than before
He looks extremely excited
When Brown was stripped of his "C", he supported Kopitar, but was visibly and openly irritated at the decision.
Am I alone in thinking that JT being here, announcing the passing of the C, saying it's an "honour" to essentially lose the C – is bonkers, surreal, and passionless?
I get JT wanting to be a good teammate, but this is just awkward.
What a weird organization.

Bozos…
What a joke Team.
It all started with that other Bozo who traded for kessel.
I believe change is good but at what cost? Does this mean Tavares time with the Leafs is over after next year? Can and will Matthew's actually step up and lead the team as Tavares has? And will he, Matthew's provide not only leadership but also evolve into a more successful player showing us he really deserves the C? The Leafs have a strong core but have failed hugely in the playoffs! We will see when the new season starts I guess!
I was hoping they would give it to Reaves for the Berube era. What a shake up that would be!
Who brings a baby to a presser lol
Holy mother of Forehead
I guess you got to make the cash moooney huh. 🐄$
Marner would have been a better choice for captain 😁
Listening to this with headphones feels like they're talking in the back of my head
Where's Justin Bieber
Кто и заслушивает капитанской нашивки дак это Нюландер, который в плей-офф был единственным взрослым в команде, правильно он им сказал что надо перестать ныть вы не в сраной молодёжке, и теперь это чудо стало капитаном, который ещё три месяца назад сидел на скамейке надувшись как маленький ребёнок за то что Бостон их выигрывает
What a weird time to make the change. Why would you do this August 14th instead of at the beginning of training camp?
AM the whole time 😃
Auston Matthew's congrats ❤🎉Amen
#34 = C!! 🤘🏾
This is so cringe
Top goal scorer and 3rd in Selke voting.
OH NO! Your "selfish" narrative is crumbling…what ever will you do!?
Billion dollar franchise still can’t figure out the audio
Perhaps try turning his microphone on?
They had to take the C off Johnny T the second he said they were "right there" after shitting the bed in the first round again.
is that really how brad treliving smiles..?
I still want to know what happened between Auston, Mitch, and Willy during period 2 of game 3 vs. the Panthers. Auston didn't come out for the third, and missed the next 3 games. Something happened there that may have caused issues in the team. What was Auston's part in that? Leadership by example, rather than position, would be able to deal with that without causing problems.
Congrats Marty. Hope this translates into multiple cup wins….
im so happy woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
