jayg Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 (edited) Wow! Never have seen this dude play. Very impressive start. Wish he wasn't in TO. Now 4 goals as I type this. First ever with 4 goals in first game. http://www.nhl.com/news/auston-matthews-scores-in-first-nhl-game/c-282598312 :w00t: Edited October 13, 2016 by jayg Quote
sodbuster Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 Better update the title. Balls. Quote
bunomatic Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 As much as I hate the fact he is a leaf its going to be fun watching this kids career. Lots of young guns that will make this game even better coming down the pipe right now. Quote
Claude_Verret Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 Its all down hill from here for AM. Quote
That Aud Smell Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 Well, giddee up, Leafs-Sabres rivalry. Once our guy is healthy, anyway. p.s. Can't help but hate to hear about Matthews outshining Eichel circa October 2015. p.p.s. Whither pi? Quote
darksabre Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 I wonder if millbank will be able to get off those nitroglycerin pills now.... Quote
bcsaberks Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 Has 4 goals in first game ever been done before? USA! USA! USA! :bag: Seriously tho, today sucks. Quote
Sabel79 Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 Let's see him do it again. Against a team other than Ottawa. Feel free to toss this back at me if AM is indeed new Gretzkey or Ottawa are not a complete tire fire. I have a feeling neither is true... Quote
Derrico Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 Let's see him do it again. Against a team other than Ottawa. Feel free to toss this back at me if AM is indeed new Gretzkey or Ottawa are not a complete tire fire. I have a feeling neither is true... This. Not saying Matthews isn't talented but wow Ottawa and Toronto d and goaltending looks horrendous. Watching this game actually makes me more optimistic that our division can be had. Quote
GASabresIUFAN Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 Let's see him do it again. Against a team other than Ottawa. Feel free to toss this back at me if AM is indeed new Gretzkey or Ottawa are not a complete tire fire. I have a feeling neither is true... Agree, but it is a really impressive debut. Quote
Neo Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 He's on a pace to pass Gretzky, Messier, Jagr and Howe. Skipped college, though ... icrackmeup. Quote
GASabresIUFAN Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 4 goals by Matthews. Amazing! Toronto still losing. Priceless! Quote
LGR4GM Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 Where's pi? :Lol:Oh God where is he!? Pi! It's not worth it don't do anything crazy. This is a safe space and we love you. 4 goals by Matthews. Amazing! Toronto still losing. Priceless!Like true blue said, we def have more and better two way players. Quote
WanderingEye Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 I like that Toronto still managed to lose the game despite this. Quote
Winston Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 Zero assists though. Zero assists. That'll help me fall asleep tonight. Quote
Randall Flagg Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 Zero assists though. Zero assists. That'll help me fall asleep tonight. I'll wake you back up: It took Eichel 11 games to reach the stat line of 4 goals and 0 assists last season Quote
carpandean Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 Well, at least we don't have that slacker McDavid ... 2 goals and an assist ... slacker. Quote
Huckleberry Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 I'm so sad this is a threadb completely agree :( Quote
Neo Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 Oh God where is he!? Pi! He's interviewing Jeff Gillooly. Quote
Claude Balls Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 On the plus side, no other Leaf found the twine and their defense is garbage. Hockey ain't like football where one great coach with one great player (Belichick/Brady) can carry you to the promised land. Matthews might have 100 pts and be in the top in scoring at the end of the season, but his team will be near the top of the lottery as well. Quote
LGR4GM Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 Wait til Matthews plays a team that actually keys in on him and puts someone like Risto or Kulikov on him all night. He won't have the space he did. Quote

He won't have the space he did. I agree, after watching Ottawa and Toronto last night I feel a great deal better about the Sabres this season even without Jack for 2 months. Quote
LGR4GM Posted October 13, 2016 Report Posted October 13, 2016 I agree, after watching Ottawa and Toronto last night I feel a great deal better about the Sabres this season even without Jack for 2 months. That was some of the most wide-open, no defense, firewagon hockey I have witnessed in a good long time. It was like both teams agreed not to play defense. Quote
