But way better....

Shot? Cuz he's a Leaf...of course.

Sakic's shot was legendary...but I like how you think.

There's zero holes in his game.

I've honestly never seen a hockey player this well rounded.

I can't believe we have Auston Matthews😍😍😍

And getting better

During the Chicago game Matthews had 84% possession. Shots were 29-3 ES while he was on the ice! Absolutely dominant.

At 26/27...yikes.

Whats going on? Been to the Valley lately?
- Garnie

Hey bud!

Nope.. been in Calgary since feb. I can't really say I miss Ontario, but when I think of it the valley and Algonquin come to mind..

Ok I kind of miss it now

What's new with you?

Im just kidding, different eras - different gear, both have/had great shot/release

They can both do things that the other player can't.. being super fast is easy to see, but being a total thief at stealing the puck and having a really strong defensive game isn't as noticeable..
- Arctic_AARDVARK

Totally agree.

Both Matthews and McDavid are phenomenal for different reasons, I'm just happy that this question can be asked and legitimately debated.

No doubt most fans of other teams appreciate what he does 100%.

Leafs are gonna fill some rinks this year. Great for the game.

There's an interesting conversation to be had as to why he hasn't broke out as a superstar for American sports fans. Probably because he plays for a Canadian team.

Lol..

Is there a Jr Garnie petawawa patriot now?

I miss my guitar.. I should get that sent out here.

I know you are...but I do often wonder where Matthews ceiling is. Leafs have secured a number of players who are driven, self motivated individuals, which is really hard to fathom.

Yeah, and he's one of the toughest on the puck. They both remind me of the seagulls on Finding Dory. "Mine...Mine"

Throw in Hyman as well. All 3 are puck pressure machines.

Also, Brown is looking damn good with Blowzak and JVR.

Americans just want to be the best. If the Olympics were happening we'd be talking about Matthews and McDavid - CAN vs US. If the US won and Matthews was a big part he'd get massive attention in the states.

But the NHL apparently doesn't want more US fans. Idiots.

Leaf boner

LEAFS WIN

😨Who is she?..and what movie is this from?

Check it!!!!

For a team that was 30th two season back, its quite nice.

That said, its only October and most teams are still playing pre-season hockey. December will be more telling.

That's my number 1 song at the moment.

The Hip and Pink Floyd are my 2 favourites. In case my name and location didn't give that away.

Yeah, I'd say it's not an easy choice anymore. Matthews is a very special player too. Different style of player, but maybe even more dominant at times. Mcdavid has amazing speed, Matthews is a wizard with the puck and seems to take back the puck from the opposition at will sometimes (a few games ago he did 4 takeaways in one shift), plays excellent defensively, and has a sick shot.
- Thecakeisalie

Nope!.i wouldn't. ..mcdavid more speed. Yep. more skill..check. .but imho matthews is a more complete 200ft.player and built for better durability! Besides he's ours!
