love the video guy getting his few seconds in here, that guy is lowkey monumental and we don't appreciate him enough. guy is 18 for 19 on challenges. incredible.

[@LeftHandShred2]

I found that part far, far more interesting.

[@saskk2290]

I mean if it's his job, it's his job. If it was a coach making decisions with no video I'd be gobsmacked

[@coastaku1954]

Matthews seriously loves the Toronto Maple Leafs, we must never trade him

[@TheRealWafflez]

I never knew just how much work went on behind the scenes with the video review crew. Intense stuff. Killer duo.

[@convened]

I actually thought it would be more complex! But it was pretty impressive to see it in action. Man I'd volunteer to work there for minimum wage just to come up clutch for the buds

[@AdamCampese]

It's really special to hear a player and person of Auston Matthews' calibre speak about the Maple Leafs in a way that resonates with the passionate fans. I've waited many years to hear a leader like him speak into words what Leafs Nation feels about their team. Go Leafs Go.

[@convened]

Couldn't agree more. He is the leader we need

[@bizzo98]

Best hockey city in the WORLD 🥹

[@JC-be4fu]

100% agree.

[@HelloSMD]

Can we get Joe Bowen calling the games next year, I love his enthusiasm

[@user-qv2ur2bw3z]

Hey I miss the days when he used to do the games on TV

[@HandShakeLineRespect]

The chosen one, generational Superstar, soon to be the greatest Leaf in history. He will bring a Cup to Toronto.

They need to give 34 the C If he didn’t have that mishap in the summer with the security guard after a few Wobblies, he’d have it like he should have. Everyone makes mistakes but it’s damn time to do what’s right.

[@petermendez6897]

Let's just take a moment to realize how incredibly blessed we are to have Auston Matthews. The best Maple Leaf in the history of our franchise. I, for one, am very grateful.

[@KikiT92]

Oh my, the best video coaching team is in Toronto ❤. Love you guys, thanks for your hard work

[@Anonymouse85]

I love these Blueprints so much. Its great to see the guys off the ice and especially great to see guys like Sam and Jordan (and Manny) get some attention cause this is a TEAM sport and these folks are all part of the team. And the Leafs are so lucky to have Matthews on their team, what a great year to land the no.1 pick that was!

[@aprilembroiders7243]

the video coahcing team is unreal. great to see them get a shoutout here!

[@Frankiedoesthingz]

I really do hope his first cup is in Toronto

[@wissemjaubert]

We are so lucky to have Auston, Marner, and Nylander ! I got goosebumps every time !

[@brandonb9978]

Love hearing Bowen’s calls!

[@LowKeyContender]

if it was up to me Papi would be wearing that C Auston is the FACE of the maple leafs today like it or not.

[@Nimajneb42069]

Shouldn’t even be up for debate. He’s the best player our franchise has ever seen by a long shot and obviously is the leader of this team. Hopefully Tavares pushes for it to happen this offseason

[@convened]

The true captain

[@curtis.strange]

Awesome seeing a bit BTS on the video coach stuff

[@JC-be4fu]

We are so blessed to have Auston Matthews on our beloved Leafs. He exudes such poise and maturity and seems so down to earth. He is my favourite Leaf and I wish him a stellar rest of the season. ❤HIM!

[@TylerFrankel4]

Love this team so damn much

[@jennacardwell6582]

An amazing amount of passion goes into this team... on the inside and the outside, on the ice and behind the scenes. The drive is incredible 💙 I love being a part of it all as a proud fan.

[@Tav57]

This is a great video. We are so fortunate to have such an amazing player who has such class and skill and passion.

Matthews and the Leafs are a perfect fit, lets hope he stays with this club for his entire career. Who knows, the career goal record isnt beyond possibility if he stays healthy. Wouldnt that be cool.
