I was looking, Where’s AM? Must be hiding behind the doors lol.
It’s like a pep rally over there.
Does that mean he doesnt support Trump or his PR team seen the online chatter and told him it wouldn’t be wise to go lol
Watched 5 minutes of it. It’s all I could stomach lol. He be repeating the same points (lies) for the next 1.5 hrs.
Team decision likely, had to report back would be my guess.
God this is a fucking wild watch
Brady and Bucky right up front … shame Sens, Jets.
Quinn looks like the ghosts are back, or maybe he can just small Matthew from where he’s standing.
Lmaoooo the bar is below hell man.
Clearly you didn’t see who was the first to enter the Oval Orifice to shake Cheeto Benito’s hand.
As leader you are held to a higher standard. Him leading his team to the White House is even worse than the other boot lickers showing up.
Still went and met with him, shook his pedophile rapist hand. What a bum. Not my Captain.
I sincerely hope they are sitting beside the Epstein victims. Maybe wake a couple of those bros the fuck up.
not you acting like we *just* didn’t see a video literally a few hours ago in the oval office anyway lmao
Sports truly are a distraction.
Matthews is legit lucky the first game is in Tampa, imagine it was at home tomorrow lol
Kinda crazy for him to go to the White House, get a picture with Trump, shake his hand, but then not go to the SOTU with the rest of your team after all that. Wasn’t the whole defense “well he’s the captain, of course he can’t bail on his team!” Well he just did… lol
What a fucking idiot
What i dont understand is, let’s say trump is completely innocent in the epstein stuff (he’s not). His administration is covering it up still. Not a single arrest has been made. They told everyone to move on. The FBI should be all over it right, not getting drunk in Italy?
So all of these guys are either OK with him being a pedophile or ok with him covering up for pedophiles. There’s no argument against that right?
Glad AM isnt at this propaganda lie fest, but he sure was happy to shake his hand earlier.
What a nothingburger, captain of team USA goes to the white house after winning olympic gold and shakes the presidents hand. Goes back to work after.
That is the default. People need to pick their culture war battles better.
Five players didn’t show at the White House. Four from Minnesota. Good for them.
At least Trump admitted Hellebuyck was the difference. He gave him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor. He even mentioned the crazy stick save.
Matthews attended the White House.
Man shook the hand of a demon whose hands have done things to children that most of us would not do on even our worst day.
Man shook the hand of a monster whose hands did things to children that if we saw them would send most of us into a suicidal spiral.
Man shook the hands of someone who, if he did those things to your children, nieces, sisters etc, would have you most likely pleading guilty to a first degree murder charge.
I really don’t know what we are supposed to be happy or proud about.
This was always going to happen. I said it in another thread. By being the captain of the US, Matthews was dealt a shitty hand. He either attends part or all of it (and the fans are upset with him, I get it), or he doesn’t go and it becomes a HUGE deal in the hockey world.
Every headline for the next month in Toronto from the conservative rag (I forget which one, I’m American) will be dogging him. Fox News will be on his ass. It will be a nightmare for him and his family. That’s how far MAGA takes shit when you disrespect their President.
Plus, for the next year, at every visiting arena the Leafs play at, it’ll be brought up by stupid reporters. “Aren’t you patriotic Auston? Why do you hate your country Auston? Maybe you should move to Canada Auston”.
Plus what do we know about Matthews? He doesn’t like drama. This was the way with the least amount of drama. He “led” the team into the Oval Office, got the picture taken and is going to rejoin the team. He didn’t fawn over Trump like a Tkachuk or Larkin, he shook his hand and slid away to the back of the room.
Do I wish AM stayed away all together? Of course I do. But do I ever think that was realistically an option? Of course not. And I hope the Canadian Leaf fans can understand where I’m coming from and cut him from slack. Trump makes everything black and white, write or wrong, and I think we need to realize there can be some nuance to the situation.
Dance, monkeys! Dance!
still went to the white house and grinned happily as he shook hands w a pedophile who wants to annex the country he plays in
Church and State, how about Sport and State. I don’t blame them, I am sure that there are more than a few 20 something millionaires on all of the Olympic teams that agree with the way Trump taxes the wealthy.
But in the Military it is my understanding that you are to respect the rank not the man. I could be wrong and if I am, I will correct or delete.
But for a lot of these men a chance to go to the oval office and meet the president of the United States of America is an honor. Count on your hands the number of people you know that have. SOTU is pure theatre, if they attended that they are accepting to be leveraged as a political puppet!
The women turning him down is a no brainer, he doesn’t support anything those women care for or about and they are definitely not Millionaires!
Congrats on the Gold AM, now get us into the playoffs with your new found vigor!
Leave him alone. He did the best he could under the circumstances. He did his duties as the captain, and got out when he could, knowing all the mess surrounding this visit.
I’m still done with him for going to the White House
Here or not it doesn’t matter. Fuck the gold medal, i want a Stanley cup. I don’t care about Olympic hockey. I care about the Leafs. I’m a Leafs fan and this is Leafs sub. All this political shit is pissing me off.
Did McAvoy not look like he finished a quick fireball pint?
Mathews was first in line to shake Commander Shitty Pants hand in the Oval Office
He led the team into the Oval Office today. Maybe long, boring, repetitive, lie littered speeches aren’t his thing?
The Tkachuks are so gross and I’ve lost plenty of respect for the Hughes bros.
Even half-pixelated, Brady’s shallow gene pool sticks out like Sloth from the Goonies.

I love the irony of “keep politics out of hockey!”, and then having the team paraded out like that at a propaganda rally.
But he went to the white house..so fuck em. He’s dead to Toronto
Still smiling while he shook hands with the orange man

He went to the party but not the afterparty
too late already shook hands
