Auston Matthews, captain of the Toronto Maple Leafs, faces immense pressure as his team trails the Florida Panthers 3-2 in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Despite being a premier goal scorer, Matthews has struggled in crucial games, notably failing to find the net in 10 second-round playoff matches. With the Maple Leafs on the brink of elimination, fans are demanding more from their leader.

During a recent practice, Matthews was seen in what appeared to be an intense discussion with head coach Craig Berube, raising eyebrows among fans who speculated about the nature of their conversation. Matthews has contributed three assists in this series, but his lack of goals has become a point of concern. Berube has acknowledged the challenges of scoring in the playoffs while also emphasizing Matthews' contributions in other areas. Game 6 looms closer, and the Leafs need their captain to step up significantly.
