The Litmus Test: Matthews with the C

You are correct he got the Islanders to the playoffs 3 times in 9 years. One of the years he got past the 1st round...his only time out of the 1st round in his 13 full seasons.

You're right that I'm correct, unlike you that felt the need to straight up lie in an attempt (you failed) to prove some type of point.

He's basically Mark Messier, you're right...his playoff exploits are the stuff of legend

To add….the core players need less pressure now so that their game can be more focused. JT can handle the “C”. I think the boys would benefit more from a good bar fight right now than changes on the jerseys.

Or a good line brawl.
