people are losing their shit on twitter because matthews is on the cover of NHL 22

:laugh:
Ya but I heard you have to trade him away just prior the the playoffs if you want to advance…..lol
Just kidding, I have no idea how the video game works or even if you can trade players.

:laugh:

it’s pretty sad they put AM when McDavid just smoked him in points. Sure he won the Rocket but I would take McDavid or McKinnon over AM every day of the week and twice on Sunday.
 
A big-name American player who plays for a huge Canadian franchise. It's not like being on the cover of EA's NHL is a meritocracy.
In an Olympic year after being the 1st American ever to the win the Rocket.

Hockey fans have severe Leaf media fatigue right now. Pure outrage on all socials because arguably the most marketable player in the league is on the cover. Imagine the levels of hate for this team if the actual on-ice product was built like Anaheim in the mid-2000s - full heel.

That 07 Ducks team is still to this day the most well rounded, complete NHL team that I have ever seen in my 30+ years that I have been watching.

That team had EVERYTHING mixed in perfectly.

nah matthews has more personality than the guy who owns gothic themed house and a guy who eats chickpea pasta.

The level of stardom Matthews has achieved says a lot about his personality and the high profile nature of the Toronto market. Wouldn't surprise me if McDavid continues to be overshadowed over the course of his career when it comes to visibility and branding and whatever.

for him bet this means more to Mathews then playoff Wins - He is a softy who will never win or care about winning ... Its all about self promotion for him.

One of the biggest reasons I thinks Matthews stays with the leafs...Bieber, dude's like a huge fan and a billionare!

Who you would take doesn't mean anything in terms of the business decision behind the NHL game cover.

Being a first overall pick and the franchise cornerstone of the biggest franchise in the game has to mean something if you're a showman and a competitor. Going home, if Arizona exists in a few years would tank your career and everywhere else you go you're bandwagoning on someone else's success.

yeah of course, it's who you know not what you know, If Biebs is in close contact ie at some games, Matts gets more access to the entire music industry and probably some film and TV. Biebs is like Matts older brother showing him the ropes, also did I mention he's a billionaire!

Awesome.

Stanley Cup - here we come!

I’ve never really followed his music, but I’m impressed with how he seems to have grown-up the last few years.

A lot of people would be absolute disasters with the fame and money he’s had.
 
The story is true but that poster had the wrong player. It was Terry Ryan.
He talks about it here:


Another hilarious story of his from the same interview:

I wish he had knocked out Milburys teeth for him too haha. Awesome stories lol
