Auston Matthews

McDavid and Matthews are reminiscent of an earlier era.

McDavid is very physical, he has an explosive first step and knows how to exploit what opposing defenses give him. He's like Mario Lemieux. Matthews has a keen sense of anticipation and his stick handling in unreal. He's like Wayne Gretzky.
 
should have had 2 goals,.....tapped the puck in air into the net, then tapped it out !! lol .....kinda funny

Leafs have a rookie defence that will hurt them all year, but they have a fantastic group of young forwards that can score...

He scored his 5th goal, not an assist but correct on the 6pts so far.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have only one rookie defenceman on their roster.

Their Defence is crap so much so they look like rookies.
 
As the Leafs keep tanking, Matthews Keeps rolling, now leads the NHL in points with 10, 6 goals and 4 assists. And how about Nylander? 4 goals and 5 assists = 9 pts.
 
Auston may become a better player than a lot of people may think. How many people thought he would get 4 goals in his 1st game? I predicted that he get 55 pts this season. I think that number may be higher, maybe even 80+ pts.

Are you kidding? He will be very lucky to hit 60 and that's in this year where goals are being scored like crazy
 
McDavid in a slump too hasnt scored in 8 games .... Matthews / McDavid are both going to hit rookie walls.....

Matthews should have at least 4 more goals in the last 2 weeks, hes been very unlucky hitting crossbars and posts lately

Except McDavid is not a rookie. Yes Matthews is getting chances. Nylander broke his slump tonight against a flat PK Subban and the Preds.
