A debut for the ages, Matthews’ unforgettable first NHL game
On the night of October 12th, 2016 Auston Matthews exploded into the NHL with a performance that ignited the hockey world on fire and gave fans a hint of what to expect from Toronto’s young superstar.
Connor Bedard is going to be exciting to watch as a hockey fan. I just wish fans, media outlets and the NHL just lets these kids be themselves and not be the next great one.
No hate on his mom whatsoever but idk any hockey mom that doesn't know exactly how many goals their 14 yr old has let alone the number 1 overall pick in the NHL, its just kind of odd
Almost duplicated this tonight. Hat trick. Auston is the best player in the nhl imo. This clip showed all the guys who are the best. They’re tied. Each apples his talents , experience and intelligence differently. And it’s damn fun to watch.
The way the current season is going, this will forever by the pinnacle of Matthew's career with Toronto. I can't wait til he comes to America to play REAL hockey.

His Mom doesnt know much about hockey, she says lmao. Thats amazing actually
too bad they lost
this video always makes me tear up when his mom realizes his hattrick
Craig Anderson is a great human being
I remember watching this game and my dad and i couldnt believe what we were seeing. Legit incredible
I'd you aren't good in Toronto then you're sad…… It's the truth. It's very hard to be a big dog Here
and in Toronto Maple Leaf fashion….They lost the game.
He will go down as the greatest American to play the game.. arguably of course but kane look out!
Leafs still have not won the cup with him.
Leafs have not even won a playoff series with him.
How is that "so special"????
… and in typical Leafs fashion, they lost that game 5-4 XD
All giggles and fun in Toronto ever since, especially with Marner and Tavares. Oh, what? Oh, never mind.
His Mom made me cry.
Watching this after we defeated Tampa in 6, 2023! Brings a tear to the eye. We're so lucky to have this guy! Go Leafs Go!!!
Amazing young man ! Amazing hockey Player ! 🏒
I was relieved by this game because it reassured he won't be a Patrick Stefan or Alexander Daigle.
Unfortunately we still lost 5-4.
So proud of you auston 4 goals is an amazing accomplishment. ❤
Then the Leafs lost lol

He picks nose with his thumb
What about that saucer pass by Willie to assist on the fourth goal bye Matthews

What does she mean "I don't now much about hockey"? Is she a hockey mom or ?
So humble back then….
And they still haven’t won a cup
if he doesnt' win a cup its a crime against humanity

He reminds me of lindros,jagr and lameuix. Tall but deadly
It’s like his mom had never seen a hockey game until that one😂
And then he led the Leafs to the cup. Just kidding, that didn't happen.

1:43 she talks like she's never watched her son play growing up, for real
mom is out to lunch when it comes to hockey
OMG Anderson got Austin to sign his stick! What a beauty
I’m crying
Seeing perspectives from players all over the league is so dope
