I believe it.
I think a big part of him LOVES how much attention hockey gets here. Growing up in Arizona as a massive hockey fan must have been tough sometimes. Some pros like living in cities where most people don't care about the sport, but I think Auston finds the passion here refreshing and exciting.
Jonas Siegel tweeted that Babcock said Matthews will start on Toronto's 3rd line as a centre... Does he mean the season or thursdays pre season game?
He only does that during the playoffs.If he was better he would've broke the net instead of the glass

I think its partially rooted in the fact he's been coming here a long time to train with Daryl Belfry. Outside of Phoenix and Detroit, Toronto is one of the places he has familiarity with.I believe it.

I refuse to temper expectations with Matthews. Kid is gonna be a star in a very short time
Why should we temper our expectations. Other fans don't need to do that for regarding their stars.

glad Leafs fans are getting excited. I like when our fans are happy, for all our teamsUnbridled Wide-eyed Optimism is the only way to look at this kid correctly, and it would be the realist approach to seeing things as they are.
Kid is a grade A stud prospect and going to be a NHL superstar.
Matthews floor is likely a PPG NHL player worst case scenario.

personally I'm still nervous until he actually starts producing. Like when I was watching the Czech team play this one guy was dancing around people and looking every bit as impressive as Matthews. But then the announcer said his name. Alesh Hemsky. And I immediately stopped worrying he might score because regardless how talented he looks, Alesh hemsky is missing that chromosone that leads to actually scoring
maxim affiniganov comes to mind too. There's probably a hundred examples of guys who look amazing but just never really produced
