9. Auston Matthews Just Makes it Look TOO Easy

Now I could simply make a Top 10 Auston Matthews moments of the season, but for the sake of variety, I kind of have to include some other goodies – however, this is a fair warning that you will see your fair share of Auston Matthews Clips in here.

This clip, in particular, came in the 2nd matchup against the Vancouver Canucks, and not only was it the best goal of the game, but it evidently ended up being the Game Winning Goal for the Toronto Maple Leafs.

If you watch this clip and simply don’t say “Wow”, then you must be a Canucks fan. Off of a bounce to put the puck in open ice, Auston Matthews undresses defenseman Jalen Chatfield with a nifty toe-drag before roofing it over the left shoulder of Braden Holtby.

Matthews would go on to have another goal later in the game where he again left Holtby looking skyward. In that 3 game set with the Canucks, the Toronto Maple Leafs went undefeated with the help of a casual 5 goals from Auston Matthews – what’s new right?

Anyways, don’t say bye to Auston yet, he’ll come by a few more times still.
