He is obviously a great player who is very competitive but that doesn't mean he is the player who you would want to be talking to the referees. The only similar player who is a captain is Landeskog.

Like I said, hes 20 years old. He is learning. His weakness of losing some cool comes when he is sticking up for teammates. He will get that under control if he hasn't already. Complete student of the game.
But yeah he is absolutely very smart and composed for a guy who has the opposition wanting to kill him every night. This isn't an Avery or Burrows or Matt Cooke, Claude Lemieux or Raffi Torres here. He doesn't yap at or disrespect officials. Matthew is very unique.
Watch some Flames games and get some learning Canucklehead.
