Matthews is nuts, wow. I know it was Ottawa, but Toronto will be a lot of fun to watch, offensively, this year.
Fourth goal is a bang bang 2 on 1 where Nylander got it across great.
Anderson has to hope he hits him or can't get the puck up off the ice. He stuck it right up high, no shot on that other than hoping it goes right.
Really the fact the Sens gave up a 2 on 1 with 10 seconds left says everything about the defensive focus that team has.
Yeah, Matthews will be a superstar. Have liked him more than Eichel since Eichel's draft year. Think he can be the best American in the league, or at least go toe to toe with Kane.
Matthews first mistake of the night is curtains as the Leafs manage to lose on that performance.
Anderson looked an awful lot like Bernier. Good goalies will look bad when you're making that many defensive mistakes.

USA hockey is back!imagine what torts could do with a kane matthews abdelkader line next olympics
Overshadowed by the Matthews mania is Marner and Nylander looking real good. 4th goal doesn't happen without Nylander.
Thankfully, their defense is still garbage.
wow that sequence kinda pissed me off
Gaudreau goes down the wing with 2 guys draped on him hooking and holding, then loses the puck and no call of course
McDavid goes down the other way and gets tapped with a stick on his back and gets a penalty shot
That's the power of the 1OA. Matthews, McDavid.
Players you're almost guaranteed to see as franchise guys that are you're almost just as guaranteed aren't found after the first 5 picks.
Watching Marner, Nylander, and Matthews, all young as hell and very very good. I can't help but think that Toronto's timeline has sped up by a few years. I think they could make playoffs within the next 2. Maybe even this season. Their defense is bad but is it really all that much worse than ours? I think they get a cup before we do at this point.
*Power of the 1OA in the right draft*
