Not a hockey fan, but this is pretty incredible

Season opener today, and the number one pick in the past draft Auston Matthews had a hat trick after his first 3 shots in the league. Also scored a 4th goal later in the night. Best start to a career by any player in any sport ever?


AT this pace he will break Wayne Gretzky's scoring record in February 2019.

Aaaaand in typical Maple Leafs fashion they lose the game. They're like the Browns of the NHL.

What I want to know us how did a kid that grew up in Scottsdale, AZ end up becoming a stud hockey player?

Good time to be a Leaf fan with Matthews around. Not much to cheer about in years past.

AM is a great player, but Laine is going to be the best one coming out of this draft. I am still choked that the Oilers were able to snag Puljujarvi at 4.

Not a chance, Matthews is the man out of this draft. Laine is going to be great but to bad he is stuck in Winnipeg.

I dont pay any attention to hockey, how has he been doing since that opening game? He scoring pretty consistently?

He is keeping the pace going with 6 games played, 6 goals & 6 assist.
