Auston Matthews

[Ryan Michaels]

Why are you guys wasting time talking about his 4 goals in 5 games when you could be throwing a tantrum about his contact? Waffleboy will be disappointed.

“I KNEW IT!!!1!1!”

So proud of this boy right now.

Really goes to show there's no shame in getting shut down by Bergeron in a series, happens to the best. It's just what he does, Tavares is also struggling to get anything on the board this time around.

A lot less soft stick checking from him tonight. In good position on the right side of the players in the D zone all night; and nice to see him get rewarded on the offensive side.

Great game all around, all night. Doing the little things that he used to always do. That was big time in a tight game like this. Nylander was amazing too.

Didn't watch the full game but glad Matthews had a great game, lets finish this in 6 please

 

[ORRFForever]

Not bad from “The Eleven Point Six Million Dollar Man”, eh @ORRFForever?

Not bad, indeed.

He has been terrific for the last 2 games - giving credit where credit is due.

 

[KIWILEAFFAN]

lets finish this in 6 please

Isint it awesome to be able to say this after 15yrs.

Im buzzing and soon to be trollied on good bottle of whiskey....

 

[SoVi3t]

He's had a bunch overturned this season I don't blame him.

I know, but that level of sarcasm you just don't see in hockey interviews that often. I think he is finally coming out of his shell and establishing himself.

Yeah, we need to finish this in 6 to get these guys some rest before the next round.

Oh I didn't even see the interview you're referring to, I thought you meant his actions on the bench while they were challenging it/announcing the decision. Any further colour on what he said?

 

[Swedish Gretzky]

That goal tonight by him was unbelievable. A superstar goal.
I advise people to look at the replay - he knocked the puck out of the air and slap-shotted in

 

[SoVi3t]

They mentioned how many goals the league calls back on him, and how he felt about that one going his way tonight and he just gets this look on his face and stares right at the interviewer and says something along the lines of "Well you're absolutely right about that". It was the combination of his frustrated sarcasm, combined with his actual quote, that just floored me

I am trying to find video.

EDIT: watch the interview here

I was and still am critical of Matthews. Please keep proving me wrong.

I'm glad Matthews is taking that to heart...

I'm glad Matthews is taking that to heart...

I thought we were all equal.

 

[SHANNYPLAN]

Best player on the ice the last two games. Where the haters at?

 

[BlueStorm]

Hopefully he stays healthy and doesn't disappear for long stretches like we've seen. So far game 3 and 5 have seen Matthews making an impact on the scoreboard. I think Chara and his obsessive cross checking to the kidneys cost the Bruins that goal tonight. He's too concerned about cross checking Hymen in the back that he doesn't cover the cross ice pass to Matthews or try to block the shot. His cross check, never called, sets off Hymen bumping into the other Bruin then backing into Rask.

 

[Brobust]

Worth every penny.

 

[saffronleaf]

Incredible Matthews !!!!

Ennis on Matthews:

Ennis has mostly been struck by the maturity of his 21-year-old teammate. How Matthews seems to embrace, and even absorb, the spotlight, pressure and expectations that come with being a star in Toronto. How he doesn’t shy away from any of it.

“He just wants it — he wants to be great,” the 29-year-old Ennis said a short while after Matthews helped deliver the Leafs a 2-1 Game 5 win in Boston. “He wants to be the best he can be and he works on it every single day. He loves hockey. He loves scoring. He’s always thinking about different ways to score. That’s why he’s so successful as a person, it’s because he wants it so bad.”

 

[HomerJLeafs]

I was critical of his play. i liked the defence but i knew he had more in him.
Glad he is turned on the beast mode. Come on c!!!

 

[Stamkos4life]

Thats the matthews I want to see!

If he can auston can stay hot there's not telling how far we can go!

What a goal though, the pass was tipped and he still smashed it home.
