The Toronto Maple Leafs recently lost a match to the San Jose Sharks and fans are clearly upset by the loss. Auston Matthews, the captain of the Toronto Maple Leafs, has gotten brutally trolled every time the team has lost a match and it is no different this time. Recently, the Toronto Maple Leafs made a post appreciating their captain, and now fans are furious.
The Toronto Maple Leafs took to their X to post a video of Auston Matthews scoring an impressive goal. The caption of the video reads as, “AUSTON MATTHEWS WITH THE SNIPE OF THE YEAR ��” but fans are having none of it.
A fan commented, “Are you poking fun at Papi now?? There is no way that goal can be considered a snipe, nor does a play like that blow anyone’s mind. Be better”
Another fan wrote, “That’s the kind of goal I score in my beer league. Clearly the bar is a lot lower in Toronto.”
A third fan noted, “And yet lose to the worst team in the league cmon you have got to be kidding me with this franchise already”, while another user commented, “Tell your 46 million dollar stars to just win the damn game.”
As per theleafsnation.com, when Auston Matthews was asked if there has been any impact of the trip on their recent performance, he said, “Yeah, I mean the schedule is what it is. There’s nothing you can do about that. We’ve gotta find a way to compete and play each night despite what comes at us. I don’t think that’s something we can or should use as an excuse.”
The captain of the team added, “In the end, we’re playing every other day. It’s been that way all season…”
Currently, the Toronto Maple Leafs have only ten more matches to go with the most recent one being against the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday night. With the devastating loss against the San Jose Sharks, fans are pretty worried about the team.
Its safe to say all eyes will be on Auston Matthews on Saturday night.
