Maple Leafs' Auston Matthews Wins 2021-22 Ted Lindsay Award

Toronto Maple Leafs' Auston Matthews thanks his family and credits fellow nominees Connor McDavid and Roman Josi after winning the Ted Lindsay Award for most outstanding player in the NHL as voted by fellow members of the NHL players association.

[@gambl0r]

As an Oiler fan, it's nice too see Auston finally win the Ted/Hart. Well deserved 🙌

[@wintercold8634]

Thank you thank you for not being a salty oilers fan that mcdavid didn’t win the hart

[@GuitarLessonsBobbyCrispy]

Congrats Auston Matthews for winning!

He looks 25 and 55 at the same time.

*FUN FACT:* After receiving his award, Auston hopped in a time machine, travelled to the 1980's, and celebrated with Tony Montana in a nightclub!

[@PierLuc111]

I mean... There was no bad choices here. Mcdavid will stay the best overall player , even without a trophy , but 60 goals was just too much to ignore.

[@mattyoung6474]

Throw in shesterkin aswell in my opinion we were treated as hockey fans this year

[@povs]

Hey remember that Matthew’s had surgery on his wrist last year, had a slow start and still got 60 goals, that’s pretty crazy. I would never put Matthew’s over McDavid and I’m a Leafs fan, but this year it’s hard to argue it was impressive and obviously his peers thought so to. Don’t worry McDavid fans, he will continue to win MANY MANY more awards in the future!

Thanks...... I guess.

[@zigfield723]

@Thomas 🇺🇸 How about when Matthews produces 1.90 points per game for an entire season we'll talk, or how about winning the playoff scoring title in just 16 games?(NHL record no big deal) Can we talk then?? Lmao, go away. If McDavid focused solely on goals he would murder Matthews there, too. But it's about TOTAL POINTS, not goals ;) Matthews is also the first person in league history to win the Hart trophy and finish 50th in the league in assists. Enjoy your meaningless award lol Everyone knows who the King is.
