Nylander is on fire, absolutely crushing it, and yet he has half as many goals as Matthews. Insane.
I wonder what Matthews thinks about getting a hat trick while not playing his best game.
Sure, Matthews may have back-to-back hat tricks to open the season, but did you see how quickly Bedard jumped the boards on a line change!?
MATTHEWS IS TAKING THE HART BACK WITH NO SURVIVORS
du dudududu du du dududu du du du dududuuuu!!!
This is gonna be a great regular season folks. Buckle up lol
82-0 season
Plan the parade
Auston Matthews 👑🐐
Knies and Minten both look great!
Auston Matthews
If we score 6 or 7 every game, our d-core might be able to give us a chance to win
never thought leafs would play so well in october considering recent history LOL
Matthews is clearly the healthiest he has been in a couple years.
He’s already a 10th of the way to 60 lol
Pretty good day for me as a Matthews and Nylander fantasy holder playing a Filip Gustavsson fantasy holder this week.
Lads, we’re winning the cup and I can’t be convinced otherwise.
Auston Matthews:

246 and 123 on the menus boys!
LFG
Leafs offence firing, Guy Bouchard is a tremendous coach and the new goal song is an absolute banger. Feels good
Samsonov 9 goals allowed in 2 games. That’s horrendous, we’re not going to continue to outscore that. He needs to improve immediately.
Getting Caps 2018 cup vibes. Grit, speed, can score 7+ goals a game. All while having fun.

Man they have to figure out this defensive thing, 8 given up is not ideal
Austin Matthews is unreal two hatty’s back to back
Lock up Willy please
246 goals back in the menu boys
Leafs won? Matthews had back 2 back hat tricks
Who cares Connor Bedard has 16 shots in 3 games. Wow! I’ve never seen anything like it before
Clean up around the net and we’re golden. Great game boys!
how did my special boy rielly do? i want positive praise only
#AUSTON MATTHEWS IS A TORONTO MAPLE LEAF!
wondering if Minten is here for good. looking good out there.
wish by nine inch nails goal song? that’d be a barn burner
First off, AM34 2 Game Hat trick.
Secondly, Nylander….pay the man.
Thirdsly, Did Jen Botterill get hot?
what even is defense?
Matthews scored more goals in two games than the Jays scored runs in the playoffs.
Who were the 2nd and 3rd star? The espn+ feed cut out before they said.
Been awhile since I was active here but overall a great start to the season!! Matthews already showing he’s worth every cent of the extension
papi is the best hockey player. better off alone by alice dj should be the goal song
I get that we’re 2-0 and putting up the goals, we can’t over look our back end. Defence and Sammy need to pick it up. We aren’t going to win anything with a .8 sv%
The Islanders stole our victory song
Auston Matthews.
Jesus the offense on this team this year looks absolutely unreal. That first line with Bertuzzi in it looks so good
Matthews only had 5 multi goal games last season. He already has two in two games. His wrist is finally healthy
It took until game 12 to reach 6 goals last year. I would say this is a little bit of an improvement. No assists yet though, what gives? /s
