The 39-year-old picks and chooses when he wants to have a voice online, and when he does it’s usually something golden. On Wednesday night, the six-time All-Star broke his Twitter silence for the first time since September 26 and, you guessed it, it was fantastic.

The Maple Leafs didn’t respond to Luongo’s request so you can expect to see Matthews and Marner in the Maple Leafs’ lineup on Thursday.
