@@nicholasceriello7750 it's the Islanders...they'll never understand what it means to be the captain of the hockey universe!

@@nimeshshah7229 , How are your leafs doing with the pajama boy LOSER!!!! WHERE ARE THE IDLANSERS, WITHOUT HIM? OH, YEAH! That would be in the eastern FINALS!!!! Leafs as USUAL, ELIMINATED!!!! 1967 and COUNTING!!! ONLY 5 MORE LOSING YEARS TO GO WITH CAPT LOSER!!!
how are the crylanders doing this year? lmfaooo. when was the last cup you losers got? 1983? and what the fuck is a idlansers? are they new? you didn't win a cup last year, and you wont this year.
Dumb Leaf fans. Tavares will lead the Leafs into the same oblivion as he did to the Islanders ! Islanders are fantastic since that premadonna left and Leafs are getting worse. I'll take Kadri any day !
It was gonna be matthews IF IT WASNT FOR HIM DO A DARE CHALLENGE TAKING OF HIS CLOTHES AND RUNNING AROUND THE CITY AND DOING BAD THINGS IN FRONT OF OUR YOUNG PLAYERS HE WOULD OF BEEN THE LEADER
@@CityZxens not the end of the world, he was a kid and is still maturing. He’ll get the C someday I think, just a matter of time, kinda like Bergeron was for a while until this year
What a perfect way to present him the Captaincy. To walk in and see his wife holding their newborn already sporting the "C". As a father, I can only imagine the feelings running through him as he walked through that door to see his family followed by Kyle Dubas making it official. Priceless.
@@chrisw2546 I take it you haven't heard him call a Canucks game. Good God, hope your mute button works. It's Miller over at TSN, who calls the games a bit better but is a huge Habs Homer.
@@johnaudia9202 what success? You lost the goalie that carried you all last season, Lehner couldn't wait to get out of Long Island lmao. Should be called So Long Island.
MoRiellyMoProblems lol umm I’m not an Islanders fan (live in Canada). If only someone in Toronto carried that team past the 1st round. Even local boys like Tavares and Marner didn’t want to take home town discounts lol.
I smell a stench coming from your fucking joke of an organization!! Pajamas had to watch us win in his stupid city !! Now we will win the cup !!! Leafs suck !!!
That has GOT TO BE thee best way to tell a guy he's the next Captain of an NHL team ! I was the Captain of my junior hockey team here in Ontario, I know, peanuts compared to this...but the way I was selected was very important to me. I was nominated by a vote of my teammates. That meant the world compared to the coaches doing it alone. I'm sure some disagreed, but they never acted like it once the decision was made. We went on to win the All-Ontario Championship in the Junior C league, going 38-0-1 in regular season, and not losing a playoff game. I'm so grateful to my teammates, coaches, and fans, still all these years later (it was the 1994-95 season) and made me who I am today. Congrats J-T, welcome to the club :-)
@@pippaholmes4756 , yep perfect fit! A LOSER PLAYER WITH A LOSING ORGANIZATION!!!!! LOL. HOW DID HE DO TONIGHT! LOL. A TYPICAL NO SHOW IN ANOTHER LEAF LOSS AND ELIMINATION !!!! LOL
this is amazing.. John is definitely most deserving.. and he's wearing the game 7 vs philly the shot shirt.. i am sure he is thinking about winning the championship for the leafs day in and day out!!! go leafs go!!!
Hey John earns this 100% he’s wanted to be a leaf since he was a little kid and now he gets to be apart of the Toronto Maple Leafs and be the Captain now ... John you may not be my fav player Matthews is but YOU DANG DESERVE IT GO LEAFS GO!!
Believe it or not but John is now the captain of my hometown and FINALLY we have a captain and plus during his childhood, he always dreamed of being on the Leafs.
Best choice for sure. John Tavares and Steve Dangle are the reason the Leafs are my number 2! Hey I’ve been a Pens fan since 1994, I can’t change completely.
Babs to a 2 week old baby, "He's fired up. I like that."

Love how the first person to wear the C wasn’t even John, but his son Jace. ❤️ What a perfect way to tell John!
The best way to tell John he's the captain
omg John was wearing a Raptors Game 7 vs Philly shirt of "The Shot"!! :D
The captaincy went to the most deserving player in my mind. Go Leaf's Go!!!!
Robert Cachia Tavares is an experienced and well rounded guy
The right choice? Yes. Most deserving?? Nah, Rielly.
@@mdsupreme1776 you can't beat this guy...!! Absolutely the perfect decision...

Agreed mattthews is next

definitely the most deserving guy. perfect fit, hometown guy, willingly came here, great attitude, etc. also what a nice family. happy for my boy

The baby is so cute ....💛💛💛💛💛💛
I won't ever take it for granted , this guy is my CAPTAIN 🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁
He will make an excellent captain! I am so happy for John, his wife and son
A video of John being told he's the captain to save me from listing to Brian Burke during the intermissions. Win win.
Hughson for me
@@dangerfield85 I can't stand Jim Hughson either!! He sure knows how to take the excitement out of a game!!
@@DizzLexic Because he's a closet Habs fan. He hates seeing the Leafs succeed in any way.

IM FROM TRONTO I LOVE TORONTO AM AND JT AND MC THE BEST WOOOOO HOOOO SND I DIDNT FORGET STEADY FREDDY
Great player, a deserving captain and a classy way to give him the C. Go Leafs Go!
Jace Tavares, Leafs captain in 2040 confirmed.
Idk about that
I'm so happy for John. I can also feel a faint breeze of salt coming from a certain Island off in the distance
Why would the island be salty for having better success?
as someone who lives on long island id just like to say we are not all islanders fans and are not all salty.

Guarantee John wasn't this happy when he was named captain for that previous team he played for.
@Inertia&Alcohol lol😂😂😂
Probably because he’s wanted to be a Toronto maple leaf forever now and now he gets to be a leaf and a captain
@@pippaholmes4756 , yep perfect fit! A LOSER PLAYER WITH A LOSING ORGANIZATION!!!!! LOL.
HOW DID HE DO TONIGHT!
LOL. A TYPICAL NO SHOW IN ANOTHER LEAF LOSS AND ELIMINATION !!!! LOL
Oh wow ! The islanders had fun winning in your city !! How's your pajama boy loser doing now ?? Regretting his decision I bet !!! Go islanders !!!!
@Leafs20XXChamps whose crying now bitch ?????
this is amazing.. John is definitely most deserving.. and he's wearing the game 7 vs philly the shot shirt.. i am sure he is thinking about winning the championship for the leafs day in and day out!!! go leafs go!!!
I guess not ??
This is just incredible news! JT is everything you want in a hockey player and a leader.
Great Job Maple Leafs!

I'm a Sabres fan, but that was cool how they presented it to him!
*Congrats John! Johnny T started from the Marlies and now 25th captain in Leafs History. Well deserved*
Incredible what a way to announce it to JT. Adorable baby, this is classy all around.
He's adorable also congrats on captain jt you deserve it!
What a beautiful way to announce it!

Couldn't of picked a better captain and better person! Congrats John! Go leafs Go!
The Maple Leafs Management a class act. Way to go Boys.
Hope he's doing okay and makes a full recovery, scary seeing him try to get up and just completely passed out.
Great video. Two Leaf Captain's in the same room. John (current), and Jace (future). Looking good boy's.
My fav leaf is Matthews but this is the RIgHt choice. Congrats Captain JT!
Congratulations, John. You wear it well.
Congrats John! 🏒
John Tavares is the Joe Sakic of this generation
You know, I've never thought of it like that before. He really is
Totally. Minus the cups and playoff victories and all. But who cares about that lol.
@@johnaudia9202 yeah. Pretty sure we all knew what he was referring to
I won't ever take it for granted
Couldn't have happened to a better guy! Love JT
Thats soo sweet!!
amazing
Great Stuff!!! GO LEAFS GO
I'm not crying, I got something in my eyes...your crying
My crying?
@@deadlves Yes, you have crying.
I cried a lot. Beautiful wife, being chosen the captain now and most of all THE BABY SLEEPS AT NIGHT !!!!!
Now your crying I bet !! Got beat by a zamboni driver !!
@@rafarules6861 someone likes only getting attention by commenting Leafs slander
John tavares son
I can see the hockey dream in his eyes he will be a great hockey player
Congrats John,couldn't have selected a better player and role model to others.
Congrats to John💙 go leafs go!💙
After three whole seasons without a Capitan since dion phanuef but finally we the Toronto Maple Leafs have a captain 🇨🇦🇨🇦🔥🥇🥇🏆
Believe it or not but John is now the captain of my hometown and FINALLY we have a captain and plus during his childhood, he always dreamed of being on the Leafs.
Sooooo happy for JT. Go Leafs Go!
Great choice! Now lets get that cup!!! GO LEAFS GO!!
Love it
Best choice for sure. John Tavares and Steve Dangle are the reason the Leafs are my number 2! Hey I’ve been a Pens fan since 1994, I can’t change completely.
I want to know about those bottles of scotch on the shelf. For when they do The Thing maybe?
This was the best choice. He’s been a top 10 C consistently on a bad New York Islanders squad.
Bad ny islanders squad ??? Leafs suck !!! We're in the conference finals !!!
rafa rules I’m talking about the time he was with the Islanders. Use your head.
Just wait, Matthews is now going to play out of his mind. He's going to bring real energy to this team.
that sounds like a great thing, no?
Shivers, congrats Johnny T
Couldn't be happier for him!
well earned and deserved, beautiful wife and baby 👍👍
Jace might be the future leafs player
Great choice in my opinion. What a feeling it would be with his wife and new born in the room. W2go Johnny well deserved.
Yes
Amazing video. The only choice !!!
I'm not shredding a tear you are.
Let's go captain JT!!!
Oh Captain, my Captain!
Too cute.
This is probably the most smiling I've ever seen out of John Tavares at once. Good for him though. He deserved the C.
Beauty. Just.. A Beauty..
