OTTAWA, ON – OCTOBER 12: Making his NHL debut, Auston Matthews /

Auston Matthews Four Goal Debut

Yes, you’ve guessed it that Matthews four goal debut is number one on my list.

Why?

It’s simple.

When Matthews scored his fourth goal of his very first NHL game, I realized how bright the future is for the Leafs.

I was overjoyed because things looked like they were coming together faster than any of us could’ve ever imagined.

I thought to myself, we finally have a player that creates real excitement and this was just the first game of the year.

More than just one player, but you get the point.

Those are my top five moments from the 2016-17 season and like I said earlier, feel free to share your top five in the comments section below.

There were so many more great moments, but to me, these five stand out the most.
