He was going to be captain at some point so why not now.
Perhaps it might light a fire in him come playoffs.
Should sell some more jerseys with a C on it rather than an A

Sure, but that's "a" rather than "A"
What they really should do is remove the A from Marner. Let him focus on just hockey.
Keep Tavares and Rielly as Alternates and after next year find a new alternate to replace Tavares.
Muzzin would have been a good Alternate in his prime as a Leaf.
He basically carried Holl.

Tavares as captain of NYI won 1 playoff round
Tavares as captain of Tor won 1 playoff round.

One play with Marner really etched in my mind. Leafs score and Marner was in front of the net and screened the goalie.
As every other player was racing to the goal scorer for a group hug Marner lingered in front of the net like he's having a look at me moment to make sure everyone knew it was him who screened the goalie. I certainly noticed it was him.

John Tavares----class act.

Something to watch for this season. Matthews is 22 goals away from passing Sittler for #2 on the Leafs all time goal list, and 53 goals away from Sundin for top spot.

I don't want to jinx it but I think Matthews will be Leafs all-time leading goal scorer this season. That's an HHOF induction when you're the all-time leading goal scorer of the TML.

I don't think having the C will faze AM34 in the least bit. He comes across as a guy who doesn't give a shit about what people say and think. JT on the other hand took things personally. He's too nice of a guy. Giving him the A is a smart move.

Here's our current depth chart. Lots of question marks for me
A is for asshole. C is for cunt. Fuck him and his awful moustache.

Lifetime Leafs fan but just can’t get behind this squad of TikTokkers. Rot from the top down.
Recently, former Leafs blue liner Carlo C. roasted the “implementation” of the Shanaplan…spending so much money on forwards without routinely developing young “stud” defensemen.

You expected him to be traded? The summer ain't over. Post some more tik tok fantasy trades.

Toronto Maple Leafs. Another coming year of futility. Just like all Toronto professional sports teams these days.

Max Pacioretty expected to sign with Leafs.

During the Matthews era Leafs like picking up former captains.
Tavares
Thornton
Marleau
Foligno
Giordano
and now Pacioretty

Leafs tops in the league in current consecutive post season appearances.
Tied with Boston and ahead of 30 other teams.
Buffalo is what's considered futile.

Half the NHL 32 teams make the playoffs. So making the playoffs is no big deal.
The last time the Leafs won the Stanley Cup was in 1967 when the league had just 6 teams. As a matter of fact, the wealthiest and most supported team has not even made the finals since then. That is the disgraceful fact.
