Confirmed with Link: Brad Treliving officially announces Auston Matthews as the first ever US born captain of the Leafs

[Sypher04]

U are wrong. Matthew's is not full engaged. Use Zack Hyman as the gauge for engagement. Matthew's looking effortless on some high skill plays is one thing, but its clearly obvious when Matthews is not skating hard and that happens all too often. Leaf fans have let Matthew's off the hook for his compete for the last 9 years, I hope Berube calls Matthews out as often as he should, that will help keep that atmosphere around that team on a good vibe. Matthews when he is fully engaged is dominating, the other version of Matthews he looks disinterested or hungover.

I’m not, but thanks for your input.
Most of this is opinion, the part about being let off the hook for 9 years though is utter bs.

I like how every Matthews thread gets closed. Do not criticize our God King!
