NHL Personality Takes Shots At Auston Matthew

In an interview today, Ryan Whitney had a take that appears to be taking shots at Leafs forward Auston Matthews.

On the Spittin' Chiclets podcast, Whitney states, Matthew Tkachuk is the best American Born hockey player in the world.

While it appears that it is a compliment to Tkachuk, he follows up this statement by mentioning Matthews seemingly denoting that Tkachuk is better than the 2022 Hart Trophy winner.

With the Panthers set to play the Maple Leafs in the second round, and the two best American Born players going head to head, it will be evident who the better of the two is after the best of seven series.
