Auston Matthews
Maple Leafs.
James Van Riemsdyk has been one of the best Leaf forwards so far this season, and he has quickly captured my heart and has become one of my favourite Leafs.
In the first game, JVR was kind of quiet and did not do too much. Randy Carlyle then told him to go to the dirty areas more, and then JVR started using his body better, and has really taken his game to another level, the same level from the playoff run he had with the Flyers. In the game today I realized how fast he can skate too, blowing by the two Capital defenders for a breakaway.
Today after the game, in Carlyles interview when asked about JVR, he said that he asked JVR how he likes the front of the net after he scored his goal
