Won't make a lick of difference, just like Tavares, Matthews is not captain material. His constant no shows in the post season proves it.
This is nothing more than window dressing, putting lipstick on a pig, and passing it off as a super model.
MLSE still isn't doing the one thing that is obvious. 2 of the core 4 have to go. Now that they pulled a fast one with this window dressing, I am calling a 12.5 mill Marner contract announcement within the next month.
As a leaf fan, this announcement means nothing to me doesn't change a thing.
WellJohn Tavares is no longer the captain of the leafs what is it if not the definition of getting stripped of his captaincy. You leafs fans are really naive sometimes
Who will be the captain in the playoffs Mathews should have got the P on his jersey for (PUSSY) or a chicken+💩
Good luck getting far in the playoffs with the same core players that’s are taking up too much cap space while simultaneously underperforming when it matters the most
Why do you think that is going to be better ?
can see the leafs, giving him the Captaincy and then signing Tavares to a team friendly deal of like 4-5 mill a year.
Makes sense. And JT is the type of player who would be gracious about it and put the team first as he recognizes the evolution of the team. I hope JT retires a Leaf and signs a cap-friendly 3 year deal with an AAV of $1m so to free up $10m after next season. He is a good player, and who would have said no to the contract offer way back when???
its about time.
I liked mattews movie
Captain choker
There is no way Matthews ever catches Ovi, what a joke
I thought this would happen last summer. I’m happy because it’s the right move.
Biggest mistake in leafs history
I'm certain that they said, "Hey John, come on, man, you knew this was coming."
pure copium to think this changes anything, Auston wore an "A" and scored 60, you telling me nobody took orders from him in the position he was already in? the structure needs to change not a A to a C
Believing the Tavares wasn't stripped because that's what they said is like believing everyone who resigns from their job during a scandal wasn't going to get fired if they didn't. It doesn't really change anything, Matthews doesn't seem like Captain material, doesn't have any leadership material, at least from what he shows publicly, he isn't a commanding personality.
It doesn't matter, the Leafs will still be golfing by the second week of May next year.
This is such a nothing news to me and all my friends who couldve sworn he was capt'n for the past while lmao. what a 'franchise'
Crazy suggestion: how about line 2: Nylander-Domi-Nylander. Might be fast and furious. And lot of fun.
Tavares will be asked to waive his contract at the playoffs trade deadline,or he was away for free July first.
2:36 maybe for missing a morning practise? :O
I love how people praise matthews but he has been nothing but midd in playoffs his entire career
Auston Matthew a new captain that funny
Time for John Tavares to enter free agency on a record setting career year.
Okay, so let's talk about the timing of it? I won't use the word stripping him of the C, but the handing over of the C. Is it coincidence it's in the last year of his contract? Does this mean they'll be okay letting him walk at the end of his year? Or is it possible he told the Leafs that if they aren't where they like then he'll waive his NMC at the trade deadline and facilitate a deal? Could it be also used as a negotating piece if the Leafs want to offer him a team friendly deal ( I hope they don't personally). I mean this could mean nothing in terms of his contactual situation BUT if it doesn't, it begs to ask the question as to why do it all this year? Why not let him be captain until the end of his contract and then name Matthews the new Captain next season? Just curious
They didn't make any changes to the team culture. Looks like another first – or second round playoff exit.
Respecting your Captain more because he's a better player than you in goal production, is the single dumbest thing I have ever heard. There are plenty of Captains that are not and have not been their team's MVP.
Whaaat? Whyy…? 🤨
Guy carbonneau , bob gainey, yvan cournoyer laughing at being captain and having to be the highest scoring guy to win
Tavares is a team player. Of course he's going to 'fully support' the change and be 'heavily involved in the process.' When management asks him to do something, he does it without question.
He is being stripped. You cannot sugarcoat it more. The process 'started after falling to the Bruins,' is basically saying as Captain, he can't take this team further than he has and it's time to give new blood a try.
If Wednesday announcement also doesn't come with a Tavares extension, I think this would be the first step of running Tavares out of town in either letting him walk, or trading him to a team that'll sign him to an extension. If it does come with an extension, this was probably part of his negotiations and T.O. saying 'we'll only sign you if you give up the C."
Yes Steve , this matters.
Long over due.

Oh goodie, they're rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic 🙄
OMG. It’s the summer break and no a game payed yet and Steve is already at 7/10 on the stress scale.
I correctly predicted the trump assassination attempt about a month prior to it happening and now I’m scared my fears of seeing Steve explode on camera might happen this season.
I just can't wait for a Fanatics to mess the Jersey up
Rambles on for 14 minutes on something that took him a few seconds to say. Get some fresh air and sunshine…it is summer numnutz.
I think it's exactly what they said they didn't want to do. Sell more jerseys
A bit awkward but probably the right move.
Can’t decide if Willy would be a perfect captain or a joke…he is the most unflappable, the best playoff/clutch performer and grew up around pro hockey. But sometimes he’s got a bit of Jay Cutler in him, like it all just comes so easily he DGAF.
Anyways, there’s no way you can not give it to Matthews, just spitballing.
i got farts in my bum and they need to escaPe
Yes, because a change of the C is going to make them care. Boycott the leafs for real change
Tavares should be the Captain still.
