Confirmed with Link: Leafs to name new captain... shortly

[MattySnipes]

*OCTOBER 2ND, roster announcement before game.*

"From Scottsdale, Arizona, and your new Maple Leafs captain, NUMBER 34......AUSTONNNNNN......MATTHEWSSSSS!"

 

[MattySnipes]

The feeling of disrespect when Hyman has more votes than JT right now...

Forget Hyms, Holl has 2 freakin votes

 

[Ratboy]

Great poll.

‘Babcock set to announce that he’s named himself captain’

I betcha, if teams could name a coach captain Babcock would definitely be all over it.

 

[EP40 AKA Lil Wayne]

Marner, along with Matthews and Nylander having to take turns taping his stick, only way Dubas could sign him for south of 11 mil. JK - Reilly it is, need to get him on team friendly contract ones he hits UFA.

 

[MattySnipes]

Pretty much unanimous.

 

[MJ65]

CC?

They'll announce it before so they can do a big media event.

Want JT, leaning towards Matthews for future contract purposes.

I'm not too worried about Rielly. He's a quality guy, he likes it here, and he is the main guy on this defense. We'll make sure he gets his fair share, but there is definitely not going to be any of the kind of crap where he tries to suck us of every last penny he can get.

 

[Maplebeasts]

It is Matthews 1000000%

 

[Nineteen67]

Hyman.

We all remember the years when he would be a top candidate...

 

[X66]

Leafs have signed a new player named "Gud Pro", expected to be captain.

 

[Leaf4Life79]

My God King its Robidas. Hes back

Then you awoke from your nightmare, covered in your own urine. lol!

I think it will be AM#34

 

[kb]

CC?

CC senor?

AM confirmed by the Mexican reference.

 

[The Big Swede13]

I would be fairly surprised if it aint Matthews

 

[SeaOfBlue]

CC?

We traded Connor Carrick last offseason?

And why do you think he deserves to be captain? He was hardly even playing!

100%. But I'm just doing the script for when Mike Ross announces it on game day. . Can't wait. Gonna have to go to The Bank and get my Matty jersey crested. They do it for free. Been waiting 3 years JFC.

 

[Mr Hockey]

it is looking like Matthews

@kristen_shilton
Mike Babcock said #Leafs ideal captain is like Kawhi Leonard was: "...competitive edge, not bothered by much, left all his talking to his play."

Auston Matthews today on how he leads: "I just go about my business and let my play and my actions do the talking." I'm just saying.

WOW, MLSE is really giving the Marner camp another kick to the groin...lol

Babs’ quote could apply to Tavares or Rielly too

 

[Puckstuff]

C - Matthews
A - Tavares
A - Rielly

edit: wow thanks for the all likes, such a basic comment too

Yup and Marner was never in the discussion for C from all reports. Only in Paul's mind
