Rookie of the Year?Hell of a start for the guy, nice.
(His mom is besides herself. Must be awfully proud. She and her daughter stayed with Auston last year in Switzerland.)

nope, he's the first.Has any player scored 4 in their NHL debut? Doubt it. WOW!
Nope. Matthews is the first. Not even Lemieux or Gretzky. Matthews is already in the NHL record books.Has any player scored 4 in their NHL debut? Doubt it. WOW!
In the modern NHL it maybe a record but I saw that it may not be the most goals in a players 1st gameNope. Matthews is the first. Not even Lemieux or Gretzky. Matthews is already in the NHL record books.
Joe Malone and another player scored 5 goals in 1917 when all the best English players were in Europe fighting WW I.In the modern NHL it maybe a record but I saw that it may not be the most goals in a players 1st game
Joe Malone wasn't a rookie in 1917. The other was Harry Hyland wasn't a rookie in 1917. They had been seasoned pros in the NHA that became NHL in 1917. Matthews is the 1st rookie to score 4 goals in his first NHL game.Joe Malone and another player scored 5 goals in 1917 when all the best English players were in Europe fighting WW I.
Exactly Babcock's thinking. The Team defence needs work but this young Leafs team is going to be fun to watch.Can we just retire his number and erect his statue in front of the ACC and be done with?
The saviour has come!!!!
Wha?!?! What was that?
And they lost!?!
Pshhh

He is on pace to score over 300 goals this season.Let's not get carried away here, after all he's only in the 26th day of his 19th year. He's not going to play like Rocket Richard every game.
That second goal was nasty, it had a 1% chance of succeeding. With the possible exception of McDavid and Ovechkin, Karlsson would have recovered the puck.
Never seen anyone in a Leafs uniform do that - let's see it again!
