What was always going to happen some day became official on Wednesday when John Tavares handed Auston Matthews his No. 34 jersey with the C on it.
Matthews should be sure to enjoy the beginning of his days with the C. Because the ending in this town is usually painful.
Matthews will be crowned the 26th captain in franchise history and Tavares "fully supports the change," as first reported by TSN on Monday.
