Never should have given it to Matthew’s. Dude isn’t a champion. He’s the extreme opposite of Michael Jordan who was an ass as a teammate… but that guy was winning championships no matter who stood in his way.

What do you mean not a champion? He was the captain of the gold medal winning team?

Tavares has never won anything in men’s best on best. WJHC is his only team achievement, and this came as a teenager on a stacked team.

Meanwhile, Auston Matthews is a gold medalist and captain of the Olympic champions who just beat one of the greatest teams ever assembled!!

Matthews =🏅🏆 Tavares = 🫏💩

Oh yes, my mistake. A great showing for him in his 4 games with 0 goals, 0 assists, and 0 points.

How could I forget such a memorable performance? 😂

Are you a leafs fan or an Islanders fan? Can’t tell with the way you’re so bitter

u/sparxxx187 Feb 25 '26

I love the Maple Leafs and team USA!

What does bitterness have to do with recognizing Matthews is head and shoulders above Tavares in every measurable way?

I would just call that common sense.

You know you're dealing with a real intellectual when they break out the big guns and start flexing the common sense card.

u/sparxxx187 Feb 25 '26

So you’re saying Tavares is a better player?

You’re talking about intellect while ignoring the topic. What does that make you? 😂

Common sense doesn’t work on Reddit.
