Auston Matthews

Hey guys what time today do you think we will hear whether or not Auston Matthews will be in the lineup tonight against Montreal?  I really think he's going to come back and light it up, score a hat trick or something.

They said game-time decision, he might take the warmup and then consult with the medical team.

When Twitter explodes, the outcome has been determined.
 
Well Babcock hinted earlier that Matthews will probably play tonight.  We'll see.  It's a big game tonight, especially for Montreal.  Their season has really gone sideways, it could be a real mess there soon.

Like REAL soon.  Like tonight.  ;D
 
Jee-zus, that second goal.  Absolutely Lemieux-esque.  Hulking, talented center storms the zone, backs off the entire opposing team with his size and stick handling, and then wires a pinpoint shot into the upper corner.  I'm running out of places to pinch.

Edit: Marner and Larry defeat Babs in a wild finish.

Anyone get emotional watching that?

Nah, me neither.

His folks are just total sweethearts. We really won the lottery in many different ways that year. Self-admittedly not his best last night and Auston still nets the only five-on-five marker of the game. That Ali quote is very telling, just the kind of guy you want to build your team around.

Is it just me or is there more "captain talk" around Matthews suddenly?  During the broadcast the other night Romanuk and Millen were all over the leadership talk around Matthews and how he's captain material.  Now these comments from Sundin.  Are the Leafs floating the idea out there so everyone is used to it?
 
Matthews doesn't seem like the brightest or most charismatic guy in the world, but given the current trend of naming your best player captain, it's pretty much a foregone conclusion that he'll get the nod.

So how much time have you personally, spent with Auston, to come to that conclusion? Or are you just making things up?

I watched part of that special that aired on Sportsnet after the Arizona game and had to turn it off because I was bored to death. His response to the national anthem shenanigans was a little tone deaf as well.
