The Daily Auston: You'll Never Believe This But That Psychopath Auston Matthews Had Another Multi-Point Night
6 games. 10 goals. 14 points for Auston Matthews on the year so far. That sick son of a bitch has done it again. The other night he became the youngest player in NHL history to ever start off a season with 5 straight multi-point games. Last night that makes him the youngest player in NHL history to ever start off a season with 6 straight multi-point games as he had a goal and a helper for the Leafs in their 4-2 win over the reigning Stanley Cup Champions. Is Auston Matthews more clutch than Alex Ovechkin? You tell me.
A buck thirty nine left in a one-goal game? Who better to put the dagger in the hometown crowd than AM34.
Now for those of you keeping track, Auston Matthews is now on pace for 136 goals on the season. A slight downgrade from the 147 goals he was on pace to score before last night’s game so maybe the kid is slowing down a little. But even if he still has a few more drop offs here and there, he’s still on pace to become the first player in NHL history to score 100 in a season. Considering the Leafs are an absolute offensive wagon and are an Over machine, I don’t see why that’s not possible.
As far as point total goes this year, he’s now down to 191. He’s gonna need to rack up a few more assists if he’s going to break Wayne’s record for most points in a season. But he’s still on pace to rip the Art Ross away from Connor McDavid’s precious little hands. Big time win for USA Hockey right there. Anyway, the Maple Leafs play Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday this week. Kings, Penguins and Blues respectively. I have to imagine we’ll be having another full week of “The Daily Auston” coming up here. Can’t complain about the easy content.
P.S. – I’ve got some shit I have to do this morning so I don’t have enough time to write a full blog on this. But what a fucking shit bag play by Mike Matheson here to injure Elias Pettersson. Most electrifying rookie in the game right now. Picking goalies apart one snipe at a time. And you body slam him to the ice? What a fucking pussy. It’s not his fault your team hasn’t won a game yet.
Seriously. Fuck that guy. Panthers suck so he decides to be a goon and take out a player who is infinitely more important to the NHL than his pigeon ass. What a joke.
