Game 7: Leafs @ Bruins - Apr. 23rd, 7:00pm - CBC, TSN 1050

If they feel compelled to name a captain next year, I'd prefer Rielly. Might be better to wait another year if they want to make Matthews captain, I just don't feel like he's ready for that. Could be wrong, just a feeling.

I disagree, he stepped up in the playoffs and was the Leafs best forward from game 3 onward.  I think he's ready to take the next step.

I completely agree Zee. Give Matthews the 'C' and Rielly and Tavares can have 'A's

I also agree. We saw a major step forward for Matthews in this series. Watching him become a more 200ft player and scoring those 5 goals was nice to see. It's time he gets the C.

I'm fully expecting it to happen. It's been long enough.

I think so to. I'm betting they wait until Marner signs tho lol..

Oh yeah, totally forgot about that lol.  Funny how the Marner contract talks got pushed to the backburner after his agent shot his mouth off.  It'll pick up full steam ahead now.

And in the grand scheme of things, his production suffered after his agent shot his mouth off. It's going to be an interesting negotiation for sure. He's going to get 10 mill minimum but there's no way he's getting Matthews' money. I can't see it.
Paul Marner will be livid reading this thread with people not mentioning Mitch for an A or C.

Should he get 10M? He plays wing and with Tavares? How many points would he have gotten in Ottawa? He's amazing no doubt but do we need to set the new standard every time we sign someone? Kane gets 10M should Marner be the highest paid winger in the game? I would like to see something under 10M? You shouldn't receive a bonus for playing with one of the best centers in the game.

Don't talk logically. He's getting 10 plus even though I totally agree with you. I've been saying it all year. Marner is a star but he's not getting 94 points without Tavares. I'm sure the Leafs will look at all angles.

Leafs are in cap hell without winning a playoff series.  I’ll be long dead before they win anything.  The window may be open, but it was widest this year, particularly with all the first round exits.  If the Caps lose tonight I will puke.

Every time you don't make the playoffs or get eliminated is a blown chance. It's not like the teams left are crap and you can't predict wins and losses. Who's left means nothing. Wasn't meant to be, end of story. No what ifs..

These playoffs have been so weird, so many upsets and surprises, saving the Leafs of course.

[TML fan]

The Islanders are going to win the Cup lol

The Islanders are going to win the Cup lol

Would that make the Islanders fans chant "thank you Johnny!" Everytime they play similiar to Kessel in Boston?
