The American captain breaks his silence on his relationship with Connor McDavid, the captain of the Oilers and the top forward on the Canadian squad.
The Canadians and the Americans are set to face one another tonight in what will be a major tilt in the 4 Nations Faceoff; both teams enter the game having won their opening games, and for many on both sides, it's more than just another regular contest.
Auston Matthews, who was named the American captain prior to the event, is now breaking his silence the mutual respect and relationship he's had with Connor McDavid.
I definitely think it's evolved, and I think there's a mutual respect and appreciation for one another. I know for myself, spending time with him, I always find-hockey, for the most part, we talk about a lot of stuff-but I just find getting his perspective on different things is pretty cool.
You learn a lot just by bouncing things off of each other. He is who he is because of the work ethic he puts in, and he's obviously a special talent with the consistency and everything like that.
I just find anytime I spend time with him, I'm always learning different things.
We talk about the game a lot and maybe how he sees it. Obviously, his skill set-nobody really has that kind of skill set.
Just hearing how he thinks the game or maybe how he likes whatever-where his wingers are on the breakout, different stuff like that. It's always interesting to hear his perspective on different things.
