Hungover most likely after Kash’s post State of the Union kegger..
Soggy_Specific4093
I don’t even care if he does play anymore because there’s no way after flying from Italy to Florida, partying all last night, then waking up early today to fly and spend the day in DC that his play will be up to standard.
Like the Leafs upcoming schedule is crazy with games tomorrow, Thursday, Saturday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday before finally getting a two day break and there’s no way it doesn’t catch up to him.
bigcaulkcharisma
Ofc he is lol. The media just works everyone into a lather in this market. This ain’t Columbus. The heat he’d get for missing this game would be insane and he and everyone else knows it.
Big_Albatross_3050
damn, that’ll be a long day for him going from DC to Tampa
tortured_fanclub
Good. Unless injured all players should return to their teams first game. Especially those still trying to make the playoffs. Wanna give owners more ammo to not allow NHL players at the Olympics?
hagopes
Were fans frustrations that he might not play tomorrow, or that the captain of the Toronto Maple Leafs would be attending the president’s state of the union? As in the same president that’s been threatening our country’s sovereignty for the last year or so? Amongst all the other bullshit he does?
Acceptable-File-3995
What a joke of a captain. Strip him of the C the second he steps foot at the SOTU
Adolfcheadle
Fuckin better lol
volcanickraken
So the club must have told him to do what he wants, but he’d better be in town for the game. He will play, but will he arrive game-ready?
OrganicAttorney3602
Trade the Trump cuck now.
Shoddy-Natural-3285
Hope he gets boo’d by all the leafs fans there
NihilisticFlamingo
Anyone else kinda hoping we lose these next few games? Not sure how hyped I can get about the prospect of scraping our way into the WC2 spot and then getting eliminated by Tampa Bay in the first round.
If its clear that we miss the playoffs before the trade deadline, we can seriously restock our supply of picks and prospects by trading McMann (🥲) and a few others.
All that to say, if Auston is tired and Willy is injured, might be better in the longterm

scott laughton is my captain now
SnazzyCazzy1
Alright if Matthews misses tomorrows game for this, trade his ass at the deadline and strip him of the C
RoundPomegranate1147
Bench the Bum. You’re paying money as a Canadian to cheer for him. Good job traitors.
theguyishere16
He fucking better
Wild_Bunch_Founder
Bigger question is should the Leafs deal Matthews now while his market value is no doubt the highest it will be going forward?
username7023
When Chris Johnston said “I think the feeling is that he’s not expected to play tomorrow” on TSN radio this morning, I was pretty surprised/ pissed off. But I’m not sure it was anything more than “a feeling” as I don’t particularly find Chris all too credible at times…
Patient-Educator2720
Who cares! Get rid of him, he’s a bum! I can’t believe he would go to the White House with the way they’ve been treating Mexicans and foreigners all together! Get him out of Toronto! ASAP
M0ldy_Boi612
Stripping Tavares of captaincy gotta be the worst Leafs decisions in the last at least 5 years
GritGrinder
Anyone acting like trading him and stripping him of the « C » is even a remote possibility needs a reality check.
Mysterio7100
He better bring the Cup home this year. His off ice antics have been atrocious.
Does he not realize Trump wants to annex Canada?!!?
OneRealistic9429
Don’t care apologies to the USA woman team for disrespecting them.
leafsfan1987
I don’t care anymore. This whole thing with trump has soured my feelings toward the league and many of the players in it.
How you can be friendly with someone as vile as trump is something I will never understand

Oh JT!!!! MY CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN!!!!

Why did we strip the C from Tavares to give it to this guy again?
remotemallard
All I’m gonna say is watch the cutaways to the players tonight. see how they react to Trump’s bullshit nonsense and anti-Canada rhetoric. if he claps smiles or has any reaction other than anger… fuck that guy.

Duh?
Tell us where he is today!
Alternative_Idea_177
Not even considering the political aspect of him going to DC it’s crazy for him to do it for the simple fact the leafs want to make a playoff push and are playing some very important divisional matches while 6 points out. He should be aiming to be game ready and not hung over and tired
TH3K1NGB0B
Makes sense, it’s only about a 45 minute flight from Mar A Lago to Tampa. He can stop by daddy’s house before the game.
ResponsibleCouple278
Maybe he’s too busy with Patels cock down his gullet
X-Ryder
Oh, good, glad to hear he’ll be all done with being a propaganda puppet in time to play again.
I’m over this guy.
RentaDadToronto
Expected to play and showing up are two completely different things…
0x00410041
Should have gotten rid of matthews and kept marner.
I said it.
And giving him the C over Jon? Comical.

I wrote my letter to mlse expressing my disgust i encourage others to do so as well. This is not acceptable fanservice@msle.com
I’ve said it on a previous thread but I cannot and will not support this. As of now I will not consume any maple leafs or msle related content for the foreseeable future I cannot and will not support this. The franchise will not change unless there is outcry fron the fan base, as well as damage to their bottom line.
It is not okay to play in our country for our team and support someone calling for open war/annexation let alone the rape and pedophile issue
dniel66
Can’t support anyone who celebrates with a suspected pedophile and convicted sex offender. Never
superspacetrucker
Time to trade this bum and rebuild the team with Canadians and Europeans. We don’t want no pedophile apologists on the team. Let him go be washed up in some southern state team.
mattfromjoisey
Auston Matthews expected to lick the boot
erasedhead
If I started hating Ovie for his Putin ass licking then I gotta do the same for Matthews. Fucking pathetic.
Original_Dog8929
There is no reason why he wouldn’t play. If the Leafs played Washington on Tuesday, he would play in Tampa Wednesday. No different.
Setting aside whether you think he should or should not attend the SOTU address, there is no reason not to play.
NoResponse24
Boo this man.
mikasaxo
Watch him go back to sucking after Trump’s SOTU
EvaderDX
What a pathetic, little man
Corvidaez-
Crazy that a Hispanic man can see everything going on in America right now, especially after the Super Bowl, and choose to do this
Yarbooey
That’s unfortunate. I’d rather he just stay in DC. Fuck him.

Hungover and burger filled jet lagged papi
letstourthemaritimes
Pride jersey? Noooo, that’s political! State of the union with asshole in chief? Suuuuuure!!
Frostyreturns
Am I the only one who hates Trump and doesn’t care about this. He’s not missing a game, he’s not endorsing the president or being super political, he’s kinda just lowkey hey im here with my team this is what everyone does. he’s not giddy and looking like he’s going to cum his pants like the tkachuks. He’s not staying for the state of the union address. He’s going to be a news story either way, if the captain of the team doesn’t go and the rest of the team does he looks bad, if he goes he looks bad, I think he’s actually handling it really well and splitting the difference on the decision. Plus also consider these guys entire life is hockey, I doubt between the Leafs and the olympics Matthews has been sitting at home reading through the epstein files. plenty of people just tune it out. will he one day be like eh maybe i shouldn’t have shaken that guys hand.. probably but it’s not a big deal. If I were a senators fan I’d be more pissed off but I think Matthews is fine. It’s annoying I dont like seeing it but lets not make a bigger deal out of it than it needs to be. Some of these comments are giving jock equivalent of trying to convince yourself sonic the hedgehog agrees with you politically.
