If the plan was to name him captain, then the answer is a resounding yes. Doing what he did was stupid in the extreme … trying to hide it was even more stupid.
Rielly should be named captain.

I agree George..
I can only imagine that he wants to hide under the smallest rock.
Only 10-12 year old kids would be doing that kind of adolescent behaviour.
Leafs are cursed…

I don’t believe Matthews is Captain material regardless of this incident Johnny should be captain he’s been there done it. Players on Long Island weren’t big fans of his but I believe Leaf players are and we know Babcock is.
I think it will be “captain underpants” over “captain morgan”.

Tavaras will be captain, took less money to come home.
Ultimate team guy and leaf fan.
No other choice, it’s that simple.

There was a feeling the Leafs would have to make Matthews captain, even it he wasn’t as well suited to the role as Reilly or Tavares. I say they now have adequate cover now to go in another direction; hopefully they go with Reilly. Let the natural leader take on the leadership role and let Matthews concentrate on popping 50+ goals every year.
