Maple Leafs Fans Stunned by Auston Matthews’ Unexpected Reaction at First Home Game Post-USA Victory Over Canada
Jeers sprouted from the crowd as the PA announcer introduced the “gold medalist,” but they quickly evolved into a thunderous cheer as his position and name were called — complete with a standing ovation.
Following Team USA’s climactic overtime victory against its fierce North American rival, Matthews drew criticism up north for visiting President Donald Trump in the White House.
One fan even created an online petition, calling for the Leafs to oust the American from his captainship. In visiting Trump, the petition reads, “he missed an opportunity to stand for the values and beliefs that are important to many Canadians.”
