Gotta See It: Maple Leafs draft Matthews first overall 

Was he NHL ready here

I felt the same way

laine is better lol

@@plaserov are u cracked lol

@@plaserov better at being worse, absolutely!!!! 😂😂

60 now

145 now

@@PhilippeLetangPoirier lol he didn’t score 145 goals in a season

264 now

Best player in Leafs history and it’s an American 🤣😂😆

I'm sure Toronto fans are more than happy to support Austin's career-spend all that cap space on a top goal scorer, Hall of famer, they'll be raising his jersey to the rafters... Isn't that so much better than raising a cup?

What did this change? Only thing it changed was making the playoffs every year, an losing in the first round. The only thing, nothing more than that.

Lel. Top kek xD

The Torontos

ACB Films so good

wtf

Oh no-the Toronto Maple leafs franchise exists to give auston Matthews a Hall of Fame career... You'll be raising his jersey to the rafters! That's so much better than raising a Stanley cup!

You Bet! ⚪🔵⚪🔵⚪🔵⚪

Oh yeah!

Even better right now! Leads the league in goals 😁

I’m from the future, he’s the greatest player to ever put on a Leafs sweater

Laine is better.

Deep

wow

Dam

Bizarre! It's a sign that the ballard curse is over!

Egor's Egor I gotta read that when I get time

Well they didnt get that one win again

@@wannerknappe0483 💀

@@wannerknappe0483 but they did now!

@@enjoybagtimer just to get bounced in the second round. lmao!!!!

@@joelreyes978 and it was awesome. you a Tampa fan or something ?

Chris Adamo Ik this is two years old but hopefully you’re smart and go to the games in buffalo lol

@@battalion99 I always do that lol.

That’s what happens when 3 of the highest paid players are on the same team

@@kremits9360 I mean now the prices could be justifiable, but they were still very high for a piss poor team in 2016 and before.

The season ticket waiting list is 20 years 😐

You crying

how about now

@@AC030 he bout get 60 so I might cry again lol

​@@austonsplatpoo1705 get the tissues ready he might hit 70

Guy Forget bellows-barzal-wahlstrom

This hasnt aged very well

Bruins enter the chat

draisaitl-mcdavid and anyone with them

@@jereron648 ur so dumb draisaitl and Connor don’t even play the same line

Victoria Dixon oilers drafted 4th smarty pants

arcticmonkey3 ahhhhh yes. my bad. I was so used to the idea of him at NO.3

I’m an Oilers fan, and I wish we picked Keller or Hart, if I didn’t hate the flames so much I’d want Tkachuk.

And he has!

​@billiscool7647 and he got better!

This is a franchise with a fan base that still believes Tie Domi is a legend and should be in the Hall of Fame and also believes his son is their savior and missing piece to winning it all so ya they do believe it's better than a cup.

FlareKnight "franchise"

@@valnerium9403 this didn’t age well

Lol this comment didnt age well

And lost in the first round.... rinse and repeat....

@@FactsMatterYou were saying?

Lol take over? Can you not hear nothing but boooooo, its actually pretty difficult to hear booing over cheering, so I'd say buffalo won that.

Please don't make fun of Barfallo! They haven't had things so good lately, ...since Pat La la la la la la la la la la. etc Fontaine...Poor pack'a bastards!

S4 Dreamland j

@@s4dreamland It’s kinda sad that your comment still makes sense 4 years later

Thank god I wasn't the only one to notice

when i watched didnt even notice that girl, was thinking Austin has two pretty sisters

So the cleavage was your highlight, not drafting a franchise player ?! LOL XD

Agree, the ladies there or beautiful and dress sexy but they are not Playboy Playmates hired by the prospects or their parents as a trophy piece XP they are their sisters or even girlfriends. They have to dress proper as it is a dressy event. I look too, I said to a friend when austin hugged his sisters, that he has two beautiful sisters. To me 60% is fun when the Leafs are picking or trading, 25% the event in general and 15% casually glancing at the beautiful women :-)

Hopefully

We're still waiting

As an oilers fan I have a feeling the oilers might do it sooner

This is aging horribly but hey at least you get to watch Matthews score goals for another 2 years before he leaves Toronto

Still waiting

Watch out! The Roman Emperor himself is a Sabres fan!

Sure Hall of famer... Top goalscorer, I am so sure you're going to be raising his jersey in the rafters Isn't that so much better than raising a Stanley cup? That's why the Toronto Maple leafs exist-to give Austin Matthews a hall-of-fame career. That's so nice of you folks... The rest of us are silly enough to go after a cup!

Kadri is not a franchise centre, he's is a solid #2 centre.

John Tavares😏

💀

Oilers will win before leafs

Battle of the QEW...Toronto drafting 1st overall in Buffalo...makes sense.

I'd rather go to the Leafs than be an Oiler.

+Mooie Telebogen haha so true

I'd rather go to Iraq than go to Edmonton.

As if he wants to go to Winnipeg, Columbus, Edmonton? LMAO

***** as someone from toronto the leafs suck I wouldnt want to be on that team.

Sabres fans, they're almost as pathetic and bitter as Sens fans.

Me2 then the moment they say auston Matthews you cant hears boos nomore the leaf fans erupt

Peter Hunter Shields they haven’t won the cup since 1967

the number on your back is the year they got drafted.

Jonathan Toews calm down he's no mcdavid

Are you sure

Hes bigger and a better pure goal scorer. I think Eichel is better too.

In year 219, I’d still rather have Matthews. Mcdavid as a Leaf would be awesome but.

@@gmullenix1 Right now I rather have Matthews then mcdavid, Matthews has gotten so much better over the years.

They always put the year number on the jersey before the player chooses their own number

Just the year of the draft

+Daman Dhillon unless you're Connor McDavid loool

I was scared he was gonna rip it lmao

Right now, yes!

@@billiscool7647 are you on drugs?

Are you on drugs aswell?

@@slipperynodd578 No, this was two months ago. Right now it’s McDavid 110%. Don’t understand why your pea brain decided to reply after such a long period, but I mean it makes sense as you think RU-vid is discord! No need to get aggressive child, go back to your own fanbase.

@@billiscool7647 for being so overconfident and demeaning you sure are stupid

Krisb BeatS wow u called this eh? Idiot.

They just did imbecile🤣 but keep crying if it makes you feel better

This aged well 😂

Lou is from New York...

Where

No way he’s way to inconsistent and Matthews gets more goals and points anyways.

LOL, your comment aged like absolute milk. Calder winner, 47 goals in a shortened COVID season, arguably the best shooter in the league, leads the league in goals this season, AND laine left the jets.

Haha

Don't worry, we have Matt Murray now.

I thought Toronto Maple leafs existed to give Austin Matthews a hall-of-fame career & raise his jersey up to the rafters... It's so much better than raising a Stanley cup He has sucked out seventy million dollars in 7 years of cap space. And as revenues increase and there's more salary cap for each team? Austin salary goes up with that, his contract leaves nothing on the bone for anyone else There's no loyalty contract going on there, I have no idea why fans would be loyal to a player like that? Toronto fans are suckers- supporting one player's career And the best Toronto can do for goalie is bringing Matt Murray? I love Matt... But for an $11.3 million annual player? Toronto franchise & auston Matthews are screwing over the fans big-time. Laughing all the way to the bank

Naylani Rider poor kid it's an honor to play for Toronto

@@gmullenix1 it’s nice to play for a team best known for choking in every important playoff series since 1967.

That poor poor kid... must suck to play on a team that’s 1st in the league..

@@billiscool7647 lmao this aged horibbaly

@@Grassss You probably shouldn't be swearing if you can't even spell horribly right, I won't be that harsh since you seem underage.

a lot of good players don't get the cup

Took ovi years to get his cup

what a retarded thing to say

+Willy Nye great reply....lots of substance.

uhm wut. Matthews mom was crying. What did you want them to do? Put on the waterworks so you're satisified? Everyone has different reactions.

+Joel Velimir ....i guess thats enough for #1....mom reacting. nevermind

have you ever listened to a Matthews interview? He's like the least entitled/cocky/full of himself person ever. He's a real great kid with a bright future.

Lmao. Laine is super inconsistent, I’d rather have a solid consistent player then Laine, who is either super good, or one of the worst most inconsistent players the league has ever seen, and he didn’t carry Winnipeg to the conference finals so it doesn’t matter.

using your logic leafs got the best defenseman in the offseason in zach bagosian because he won the cup. btw laine got traded because he's a dumbass who doesn't try and talks back to his coach.

Your comment aged like milk, to make it worse Matthews leads the league in goals right now.

Are you dumb

Wow jet fans are something else. Worry about your own damn team.

Winnepeg Jets 55 26 33 4 goals in his first game lol

debut - 4 goals..LOL!!!! Good call jets fan.

how about now?

Lavar Ball 40 goals rookie season lead league in even strength goals with 32 your right he not as goood as we thought he better am34 for calder
