Tavares could’ve went to 4 teams who went further in the playoffs than the Leafs did in 2019 or the Lightning who won the cup the year later. But he chose the Leafs. Tavares loves playing in Toronto and I think he should still be captain

[AlexCisneros-bvcu]

We all knew it would happen at some point, and now’s the time❤😊

[Hal-ycjd]

The best thing about Matthews first game is he scored four goals and they still lost. If that’s not a sign of what’s to come I don’t know what is

[jaysonharris]

Congratulations Auston Matthews and welcome to the C club!!! HE'S CERTAINLY EARNED!!! Good luck with your 2024-25 season into your NHL career!!! 🎉 🎇 😁 🎆 🎉

Had to throw that “obviously” in there at the end didn’t you Matty

[jayvonnoelsmith]

I knew that would happen he is such a great player

[inactivechannel]

Tavares should’ve stayed, he’s become an overpaid player but he still has a ton of heart. Taking the captaincy away from him is a questionable move. AM34 should’ve gotten it when Tavares leaves.

[simonmarshall]

He’s the first born American to become Toronto team captain

[Hurricandycanes]

Congrats Auston you really deserved it! 💙🤍

[JimmyKnies]

LET'S THATS MY CAPTAIN !!! GO LEAFS GO

[Jinxy]

Give it to the guy who doesn’t show leadership in any way shape or form
In the playoffs, nice pick Toronto! I’m excited to watch him score 70 then take a nap in the first round again

[tristancollura]

This honestly should have happened earlier, like at one point I thought he was the captain 😅

[tomfletcher]

You guys can't get passed the first round let alone the cup 😂

[BaoNguyen-bhrk]

Honestly, I was leaning towards Laine on draft day.

[jeremybarton]

I wonder if John Taveres will be an alternate captain like in his first season with the maple leafs or will he wear no A or C at all?

[stadiumarena.]

Toronto Maple leafs Won the Conn Smythe Trophy 🍁🏆

[Noah]

I would have picked JT until he retires

[DaveysWonderfulWorld]

Yet he can’t win the Stanley Cup in Toronto, even if he tryed he can win 4 or five Hart trophies yet he can only dream of winning a Stanley Cup in Toronto

[TheHenryDuong]

The cup is coming home where it belongs boys, this is the year.
