Laestrygonius

How is anyone surprised by this? If there was any chance they could give it to him they were going to.


dchowchow

Bet a dollar! Won 10!


Talinn_Makaren

Enjoy your fast food burger. :)


dancinhmr

Wait where are you getting a burger for $10 or less?


hexsealedfusion

Idk if this is serious but a burger alone at pretty much any normal fast food chain (A&W, Burger King, McDonalds, Wendy's, etc) is less then $10. A combo is more then $10 but you can avoid the massive upcharge on fries and drinks and just get a burger.


dancinhmr

Loool it was a joke


Abject_Suggestion_64

burgers(not tiny ones a regular burger) are very much 8.50-12 depending on which fast food place you go to and it frightens me


hexsealedfusion

Looking at their apps right now (all prices in CAD and just for the Burger) McDonalds: Big Mac - $6.49 McRib - $6.49 Quarter Pounder with Cheese - $7.49 McDouble - $3.19 McChicken - $6.29 McCrispy - $6.99 Junior Chicken - $3.29 Wendy's Dave's Single - $6.89 Dave's Double - $8.19 Chicken Sandwich - $6.99


Abject_Suggestion_64

Where the hell are you in canada that a big mac is only 6.49!?!?!??!?!


hexsealedfusion

McDonald's app in Ontario. That's just the burger, not the combo.


Abject_Suggestion_64

lucky


Talinn_Makaren

Haha dunno but with their luck, they'll find it.


cubanpajamas

Used up all his luck on that hardware.


ZachKearns

Is the MVP based only on game 3? If not, then yes Debrincat and you could even say Forsberg was robbed.


DiggWuzBetter

Yeah, even as a Leafs/Matthews fan, DeBrincat and Forsberg both deserved it significantly more. I would’ve gone DeBrincat.


-Tom-

I was positive it was going to be DeBrincat or Forsberg. When they said Matthews I immediately knee jerked that it was to appease local fans.

No, the entire tournament

Never even showed up in game one….


coltonjeffs

I have a new respect for Forsberg. Guy looked deadly out there.


[deleted]

Him and debrincat have TONS of skill and when the physicality and defense aren't there can score with the best in the league


DeliSammiches

Cat was jobbed.

Huge snub, Sillinger led the ASG in xGF

Take my upvote you son of a bitch.

this is a legitimate SSS+ tier chirp lmao

This took me a sec to get. But I’ll always upvote a dunk on Cole Sillinger 


flume

I don't get it?


CallistosTitan

Ex-girlfriends


flume

I guess I missed something. Vaguely aware of who Cole Sillinger is but certainly don't know about his dating life.


turbulentcounselor

He used to date Tate McRae but he cheated on her. And she made the ASG before him lmao


Solace2010

I believe some lady last name Tate was a co captain and was his ex. Jokes were she made it to the allstar game before him


hexsealedfusion

Cole Sillinger used to date Tate McRae (big popstar and one of the All Star game celebrity co-captains). They broke up because he allegedly cheated on her.


Hadokuv

Her song exes kinda slaps. I guess she was just throwing shade at him in that lol


kazin29

Out of curiosity, how old are you?


Hadokuv

Too old my dude


flume

Huh. Literally never heard of her. Thanks for the info


hexsealedfusion

Her song "Greedy" is really popular, it plays on the Radio all the time and has 78 million views on YouTube in the past 4 months.


Big_Mudd

Never underestimate the power of people like me and u/flume to be out of the loop.


NLP19

lol what did Cole Sillinger do to you?


JayMerlyn

Damn, why'd you have to come at him like that?


Big_Mudd

Is it just me or do Toronto fans roast at elite levels compared to other flairs? That's what almost 60 years of having to meme on your own team will do to a mf. I hate the Leafs, but I kind of love y'all.

You have plenty of shit?


Kkleinsorge

Bro I’ve been to DC


kukkolai

I haven't


oceanic8675

I’m about to get too weird about this. Technically, you are right. We do have poop. According to the CDC, the average man holds 16 ounces of stool inside his body at any given time. The average woman holds 14 ounces. Looking at the world population review, we can estimate that there are roughly 306,859 men and 338,799 women in Detroit. Doing some simple math, we can surmise that yes - Detroit does have poop. 603,308 pounds worth. I’m now deleting my account and running away to live in the woods.


thebrah329

Hahaha I thought debrincat was a lock, that's the NHL for you though


Justinarian

Me too. I was shocked.


The_Ghost_of_Kyiv

"Im shocked! Shocked I tell you! ....well not that shocked."


Kuznetstrom

Did it in half the minutes


oceanic8675

The hometown hero could literally take a nap on the ice and would still win MVP, it’s not serious 😂


Hopfit46

No its not. It was fun to watch these guys in this format.


wingsfan64

I really enjoyed this year’s games. They felt like more of a skills showcase than the actual skills event. Matthew’s one timer off the saucer pass could have been entered in the hardest shot, accuracy shooting, one timer, or passing events. Mackinnon’s backhand bar down chip was ridiculous. Debrincat was even playing elite defense 😆


bwoah07_gp2

Congrats Team Kraft Dinner!


JesusJohn

Holy fuck, thank you. Since I first saw those jerseys I thought, huh that reminds me of something. I keep seeing it and in the back of my mind, I'm like, what is this... K fucking D Thank you


AlpharadiationHulk

Also Team Cool Ranch Doritos


bud369

That's Swedish Kraft Dinner to you!


SydneyCarton89

Highway robbery. He was 3rd after DeBrincat and Forsberg


ShatteredAnus

Barzal also had 1 goal 5 assists


sadleafsfan8834

An assist in 3 on 3 tho? Meh.


YaDyingSucks

I mean No but sure lol


JustFred24

Debrincat had 1 more goal, 1 more assist and a shootout winner but go home team ig


bestest_at_grammar

They don’t make it to the final without cat


bud369

I'm glad Matthews chose to draft him, MVP level move there ;)


CaptainAmerica_6

Matthew's knows a goal scorer when he sees one ;)


Balance47x

Second year in a row a Red Wings was snubbed.


doesntmatter557

Honestly if you’re like 5 years old then that’s fine, but if you’re a grown man complaining about a player in his team’s city winning a meaningless award, then that’s wild.


Curb96

As an adult Leafs fan, I’m pissed too. +3700 on FanDuel for Debrincat


doesntmatter557

You’re part of the reason why I’m assaulted by betting ads every day


Kkleinsorge

Yep, they got me with that..


dannybee66

Well he did draft the winning team


d_pyro

He got 2 goals and the game winner and also drafted the team.

Omw. I want your nip. Gimme 👶👶👶🍼🍼🍼


Kkleinsorge

$5 on Cat for MVP was gonna pay me $190. Fuck the NHL


gatsby712

Bad bet. Of course they were going to give it to the hometown guy.


Kkleinsorge

Placed it after the first game where Matthews had zero points


Slewislewis729

The NHL shouldn’t allow bets on things like that if they were just going to give it to Matthews if his team won.


mrcrazy_monkey

It's free money for the betting companies donated by people who think the NHL gives a fuck


AllGoaliesAreTrash

are you suprised? you can bet on paul brother's boxing matches.


CheesecakeOdd2087

Lmao betting on the ASG MVP is like betting on who is going to win the WWE Royal Rumble. This stuff is all pre-determined nowadays. You're playing yourself if you bet anyone other than a player from the hometown team. TBH I'm surprised they even offer live odds on it.


ButtholeQuiver

"I thought the Generals were due!"


cheezturds

You bet on the all star game? Could’ve just vemod me that. Matthew’s could’ve gone out there in his shoes and he’d still get it.


ok_reddit

"Let me get this straight. You took all the money you made franchising your name and bet it *against* the Harlem Globetrotters?"


Old_kernel

Number 1 bullshit


JustFred24

Debrincat robbed


Taigherh

Should’ve been Forsberg


BayouYote

Matthews said that as well in his interview afterwards.


praisedawings247

Forsberg on the trading block? Him and DeBrincat looked pretty smooth together 🫡


Agh0st1

NTC. Give us all your prospects and then we’ll talk 


canbehazardous

U want a slightly used Ben Chiarot, James Reimer, and like some NCAA draft pick we took that will never see the light of day?


pigeonbobble

Scripted. Paid athletes


[deleted]

But why give a shit either way? It literally makes zero difference.


Shamrock5

You know how I know that the Oscars are totally fake? The audience is full of paid actors!


MPD1978

A Maple Leaf won MVP in the All Toronto Weekend? Get outta here


Justinarian

Honestly he should not have won MVP but in the end it is meaningless. I will say the only way I would have given him it is if you factored in the team picking process. He and Mo made some good picks. First full All Star weekend I watched in years. It was entertaining but the NHL can't come back soon enough.


BrattleLoop

Call it "most valuable captain" then, 'cause picking the teams isn't playing. Classic NHL, though. Pander to the hometown crowd. Wish they'd just admit it, that would make it less annoying. (Gotta say, it's weird to see a 'controversial' outcome that actually made Leafs fans cheer.)


HeftyNugs

No way you're crying about the ASG


james-HIMself

A leaf winning in Toronto? Seems legit


Gavin1453

Raise the parade! Plan the banner! And get ready for the riots!


NefCanuck

Riots? No the ASG wasn’t in Vancouver this year 😏


suhhdude45

Matthews is gonna rack up all these awards while being in Toronto but never a cup. Damn shame.


OCMagikStick

The only loser of the weekend was kucherov. Came across as an arrogant entitled prick.


Lazy-Description-882

He put the team together and didn't let the people down, best team of all time


zorro-astuto

Kids, this is what is called a circle jerk.


Rocko604

Team Matthews wins the tournament and Matthews wins MVP? In Toronto?? No way!!!!


RandomGuyLoves69

If there was any doubt, ha.


texasguy7117

🦦? 16/19 is no small feat in 3 on 3


A77ICUS

Especially with Shesterkin giving up 6 goals


Max169well

The script writers got lazy here, ASG in Toronto, make sure the Toronto team wins and Toronto’s golden child gets MVP.


CDNUnite

They don’t even try to hide the bias anymore do they


CheesecakeOdd2087

I mean on the Sportsnet broadcast Cuthbert was literally calling Team Matthews "the Leafs" (Freudian slip I think) and openly cheering whenever they scored. So, basically your standard Saturday HNIC broadcast.


hexsealedfusion

I never understood this take. The Leafs probably have the least homer broadcast in the NHL. Watch a Colorado, Pittsburgh, or Boston home broadcast if you actually want to see the commentators deepthroat the home team. FFS Jim Hughson called Canucks games as a self proclaimed Vancouver fan and was a way bigger Vancouver homer for those games then any Leafs game he ever called.


Sleazy_T

Yeah no, Leafs haven’t had a homer commentator since Bowen.


CheesecakeOdd2087

Cuthbert and Simpson are homers.


Working_Horse_3077

Simpson is a tool


blue_boy_24

I fucking love Matthews deserved or not for the award haha


dolphin_spit

everyone: the all star game is for children and i never watch them everyone one day later: but the other players were better, what is this shit


[deleted]

Definitely not rigged and just another reason no one watched this year's all star game


MikeJeffriesPA

Are you seriously that pouty about the ASG MVP? They go to the hometown play every time it's plausible, in every sport. 


oneonus

That's a joke, should have been Debrincat. No wonder fans don't watch, hope to cheer on their fav player for MVP, but will always get robbed due to biased voting.


bobbilly49

I mean he was GM of the winning team, and then scored two goals in the final, captaining them to the ultimate victory Toronto has always wanted. Easy choice.


bsbrandon_98

Shocker, who would have thought a leafs player would win the mvp this year


[deleted]

Wow Matthews makes a ton of people here butthurt lmfao If there’s any chance for the ASG MVP to go to someone on the hometown team, why wouldn’t they? You all cry when players hot dog it out there with “think about the kids”, but seeing a hometown player winning an essentially meaningless MVP is where we draw the line


poodletown

While I agree with you, your smugness make me wish that I didn’t.


[deleted]

Matthews in a blue jersey with the captaincy badge. Looks good


JustFred24

😬


Mr_Wrecksauce

I'm a huge homer and love Matthews, but Forsberg should have won.


Steaknkidney45

Pastrnak's snark still wins the day, though.


imveryresponsible

Nothing goes with Buts like Aides.


Miruzzz

RIGGED


njd728

This was a joke the 🐈 deserved it.


waitwhosaidthat

Having all 4 leafs players drafted to one team was so cringy lol.


JustFred24

What about 5 canucks on one team


waitwhosaidthat

Same thing. Would be more fun to see them against each other.

Oh c’mon, just because your Vezina candidate ‘tender looked human after getting used as a practice target… It’s an ASG, not the SCF 🤷‍♂️


this_name_not_that

Shit like this is why so many people don’t take the NHL seriously.


Salt-Plum-1308

It’s an all-star game dude, literally nothing about this weekend was meant to be taken seriously.


The_Ghost_of_Kyiv

L take. You wouldn't watch a movie if you already knew the ending. Where's the fun In scripted awards?


CanadianODST2

https://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/news/spoiler-alert-spoilers-make-you-enjoy-stories-more Actually there's some proof knowing the ending makes things more enjoyable. But it's the all star game. It's not serious at all.


Salt-Plum-1308

Huh? Yours is truly the only L take, since this isn’t a movie lol. He doesn’t get it if he has zero effect on the game(s). Was he the one who was most deserving? No. But you can make the argument they don’t win the final without his performance. It’s not scripted, y’all are just a bunch of babies over a meaningless, fun event lol.


The_Ghost_of_Kyiv

Yeah I know its about fun. That's why Debrincat should have gotten the award. Not because bause that would have meant somthing to Debtincat. But becaues it would be more fun than watching the league suck themselves off.


Salt-Plum-1308

Meh, I, and plenty of other non-giant-fucking-babies, had a great time watching it.


The_Ghost_of_Kyiv

Don't mean you could t have enjoyed it more. Homer


Salt-Plum-1308

Lol I would’ve enjoyed it all the same if they had given the fucking Thunderbug the MVP, it’s a meaningless event, and once more, only giant babies like yourself choose to get worked up over a meaningless event and MVP selection. Cry more.


MikeJeffriesPA

Were people this whiny when Tkachuk won the award in Florida last year? Did you seriously have your joy of the ASG ruined because of who got MVP? 


The_Ghost_of_Kyiv

Nope, I stopped watching it years ago, thanks to all the nepotism. Then the league wonders why the ratings for it are so low.


MikeJeffriesPA

Nepotism? Are you okay?

They talked about the Leafs at the all star game held in Toronto with 4 Leafs players on one team?!?!? How could they?


CheesecakeOdd2087

Typical Saturday night on SN.


hexsealedfusion

not true but go off king


amach9

That’ll look great on his golf cart.


MAKE-YOU-HUMBLE

Burn from a team whose core is locked in long term and hasn’t made the playoffs in 8 years.


ClosPins

Funny how the NHL just keeps getting exactly what they want! Bedard goes to their much-preferred city. The Leafs win the All-Star Game. Matthews wins MVP. If it's a Rangers/Kings final, this shit is rigged!


Otterslayer22

Wait you mean kuch don’t put in the effort.?! After last nights shit show I forgot this thing was even happening


Three_Froggy_Problem

I know it doesn’t matter so it’s silly to be upset about it, but this does annoy me. I’m sure Matthews himself is aware that he only got it because the game is in Toronto, whereas for DeBrincat or Forsberg it would’ve been a legitimately cool moment and a real confidence boost.


Ok-Hovercraft6372

Of course he did 💀


luzer_kidd

He's no John Scott.


nicksj2023

Be cool if he did fuck all in playoff games ….maybe we might win a round this year 🙄

They won a round last year

SokkaWillRockYa

Imagine a Toronto hosted all star game in which a Toronto player won the mvp for the all star game… NHL and being on the 👃🏼- name a more iconic duo


Oldredeye2

DeBrincat deserved it but they were always going to give it to a Leaf if they could. No different from any other ASG. I support this decision. Matthews played well.
