The Realist

@TheCupitals @andrewm1119 Matthews made Brady his bitch in the playoffs last year lol

@andrewm1119 I’m a Brady guy all day

I genuinely want to know the thought process of naming Matthews captain of this #USA team. There’s like at least 4 or 5 other guys I would have picked first strictly based on compete level and success.

@TheCupitals @Protas_Prophecy He’s a Selke nominated Center who once scored 69 goals. Americans don’t know puck lol

@Protas_Prophecy Just kinda floats around and waits for a skill play

@howee62 @jordiebarstool Legit nothing. They think the captain is some magical being that does not allow anyone else to step up or speak in the room

@jordiebarstool Americans still going on about who wears the C after two games in shows you they know nothing about hockey.

Auston Matthews is losing offensive zone faceoffs to some random Danish kid wearing a cage. Meanwhile, Jack Eichel just orchestrated back-to-back goals from faceoff wins. Slap the C on Eichel

@jordiebarstool Americans thinking they know hockey is hilarious. Quiet piggy

@citchmook Thank goodness that ghost is gone. Playoff Marner is something to behold

Mitch Marner is a crafty player, getting out of Toronto was the best thing he ever did.

@HackswithHaggs Quiet piggy #fatfuck

It's painfully obvious watching Auston Matthews in the 4 Nations and in the Olympics that he is not captain material for this Team USA group. He just isn't. Jack Eichel playing like a captain. Brady Tkachuk too. Not a massive deal but with this crew, but unmistakable

@eLiaminators @argos_allen @TOSportsAdam Hahaha a sens fan chirping the Leafs.

@eLiaminators @TOSportsAdam 5-0 all time against the Sens. Alfie 0-4 as a player, 0-1 as a coach. Only team that can’t chirp the Leafs is the garbage Sens.

@argos_allen @TOSportsAdam Acting like making the playoffs is an achievement is the most Toronto thing ever lol. So much success of making the playoffs simply exceptional how could I forget

USA Olympic Points after 2 games: Auston Matthews - 2 points Brady Tkachuk - 2 points Matthew Tkachuk - 2 points Tage Thompson - 1 point Dylan Larkin - 0 points Which player do you think is taking all the criticism?

@eLiaminators @TOSportsAdam He has literally been nominated for a selke. Leafs are a joke yet they own the poverty Sens. Matthews has a Hart, rockets and actually leafs teams to the playoffs. Brady is no where close. Take a seat youngin

@argos_allen @TOSportsAdam wow he beat the Sens in their 1st playoff appearance what an achievement. He had the same amount of pts as Brady and less goals. Neither of them have done anything in their career don't act like Matthews is some hero. Also if you think Matthews has a shot at a Selke enough said

@eLiaminators @TOSportsAdam He’s been nominated for a selke and beat Brady in the playoffs. Brady has literally done F all his entire career. Sit this one out little guy

@TOSportsAdam Matthews has gotten pts that are useless, he's lazy, doesn't backcheck, takes shifts off. He also shows no leadership qualities and is just invisible which he's known for in any game with meaning. Sounds like reasons to be critical and that's what comes with being captain

@cbend88 @SamAMcKee Dead. But Canada. Proud of their roots but came here for a better life and found it. Worked hard to become citizens

@argos_allen @SamAMcKee I'm not sure if your parents are alive, but if they are. Are they cheering for Italy?

So you’re telling me it could be Canada vs Italy at BMO in June? Pray for our city.

@0xUnscarred @kets13 @SamAMcKee It’s mangiacake you fucking moron. Disgraziato. Fake ass Italian who probably knows ten Italian words. Such a fucking loser lmao

@argos_allen @kets13 @SamAMcKee ok manjacake

@johnnydebl @jakebeleafs Italy will literally pay you to emigrate to it so what’s stopping you, you little bitch? Please leave. Stop whining like a pussy and leave

@jakebeleafs And to those fuckers who say leave then are dumb as fuck. Don’t you think if it were easy to pickup your entire life you built here and just move to Italy, we would all do it. Canada has become an expensive tax grabbing shithole.

I will be cheering for Italy in the World Cup. I lived in Vaughan/Woodbridge for 4 years , and I’m troubled by the deeply problematic history of the country “Canada” vs Italy, which has a clean record and has not been on the wrong side of any notable conflicts

@0xUnscarred @kets13 @SamAMcKee I’m Italian (both my parents moved here in their 20s) and I’ll be cheering for Canada. You’re just an embarrassment.

@kets13 @SamAMcKee cheering against italy for any canadian/american italian is also wild. uncomprehendable, actually. i guess italians have way stronger cultural ties and emotions towards their motherland than the dutch, what can i say.

@SamAMcKee Italian parents (both born in Italy), cheering for Canada. It’s not that difficult and anyone saying otherwise is an embarrassment

There’s a lot of people around this city that are going to be making a decision. A hard decision.

@0xUnscarred @SamAMcKee Roots? Go live in Italy then buddy. News flash, unless you have a passport you aren’t actually Italian. What a loser

@SamAMcKee nothing hard roots from italy = always 🇮🇹 🇨🇦= hockey in the olympics with a name like McKee, would you not choose 🇮🇪 or 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 in a game vs 🇨🇦? if not, i don't unerstand how can one disrepsect their roots. canada is there every day world cup in 🇨🇦 is once in a lifetime!

@willston1717 @mickey_canuck Exactly. Same ppl that complain non-stop about new immigrants (Im Italian Canadian - constantly hear it)

@mickey_canuck They shouldn’t, or they’re traitors & can leave.

oh no.. A lot of Canadian fans will have a TOUGH fandom decision to make if Italy makes it through (WHICH THEY BETTER).

@mrfrankcurious @mickey_canuck Loser.

@mickey_canuck Italy all the way. I’m first generation Italian Canadian but no way I cheer for any team other than Italy

@leafer81 @mickey_canuck Loser. Straight up

@mickey_canuck Pretty easy decision AB. Been Azzurri since birth.

@Spider341691 @CafecitoGamer @samutsakhonjeff @SamAMcKee “Country I live in”. Buddy are you Canadian or Italian? As a Canadian with Italian heritage people like you suck. Can’t wait til I hear all my fellow Italians complain about new immigrants again - hypocrites (the last sentence is not directed at you Matt, but others I know)

@CafecitoGamer @samutsakhonjeff @SamAMcKee If I’ve rooted for a specific country my ENTIRE LIFE, I’m not just gonna change that because the country I live in is playing against them. I’d be happy with ANY RESULT
