Welcome to Toronto you beautiful stud

[@karmanjotgill3034]

Congrats! hopefully don't take Laine

[@Nagoto_Uzumaki]

+Jon Snow He's officially a leaf.

[@Optionfinity]

Welcome to Toronto!

[@bigwhite06]

To answer all of your questions: Yes, i will try to do Tkachuk and the 2 finns, maybe Nylander. But I don't think it will be quite the same quality of my previous ones. Working with a lot less video this time around. :/ I hope to get them done by the end of the month. Fingers crossed. :D

[@halenkovacs4607]

I fricken love you these are some of my favourite vids to watch

[@victoriadixon5521]

another great one! keep them going.

TORONTOOOOoOO WOOOOOOOO

[@jamesmiddleton5309]

Go Leafs Go!!!! So psyched to watch this kid come September with all the other talented kids

[@jenniferdemita3779]

47 goals this year. Kid is an absolute star

[@justinthenickoftime807]

Wish covid didnt ruin his year cause it could have been the greatest year by a maple leafs all time Rick vaive 54 goals leafs still had 12 games left at the time it ended....life sometimes is not fair

[@coolkid7151]

Soon to be best player in the world

[@darkhome]

yes dude been waiting for these!! Could you do Matt Tkachuk and Patrik Laine?

[@KINGxxOFxxSPADES]

I do realize its against Switzerland (Still a tough opponent nonetheless), but would have been nice to see a few more replays of the assist at 1:29. Godly hands/creativity in shaking that defender in the corner. Excited for the kids future in Toronto.

[@ShawnKawaii]

See you in Toronto bud!

[@trolman777]

the kid is so damn calm!! he scored the dagger vs canada and the most he did was put his hand up. if that where me i would've lost my mind!!

[@samgardner4667]

Dagger? He scored the 4th goal in a 4-2 win.

[@trolman777]

+Sam Gardner yea, the dagger is so its out of reach

[@halenkovacs4607]

Who else are you planning on doing?

[@HYP3DSNIP3R]

Reminds me of Crosby, solid all around skillset but minus the vision. Can do everything and is great along the boards. tbh, he's similar to Malkin with his puck handling.

[@jamarcusrussell6630]

I see a lot of Steven Stamkos in his shot, and Alex Ovechkin in his ability to track the puck and know the best possible way he can get a chance at scoring.

[@TheYear-wi1cq]

My friend used to hangout with him in Arizona

[@justinthenickoftime807]

Was your friend the one who convinced him to walk around drunk with no pants which eventually ruined his chances at being named the captain he rightfully deserves

[@kingstonesters3444]

@@justinthenickoftime807 shut up nobody asked

[@bsu88]

This guys unreal.

[@justinluu1505]

Can't wait to see him in blue and white for the leafs

[@goofiam]

I think he plays a lot like anze kopitar congrats to Toronto what a player they are about to get

[@Hakimw21]

ayee welcome to toronto fam

[@miksu815]

Can you do Patrik Laine and Jesse Puljujärvi

[@miksu815]

Pleaseeee!!!!!

[@canada4life551]

they both suck

[@NastyFlow93]

WELCOME TO TORONTOOOOOOOOOO

[@nolankepler5147]

What’s the song at 5:03?

[@mtlhabsss]

Man I so hope my habs keep sucking so we have. A chance to get this guy!

[@hankdasilva3817]

+Alfred Vega Not a chance they suck enough to land the #1 pick. No offense to you, but with this year's draft class it seems that the fans of every team (at least the bottom half of the league) want to see their team suck instead of shining so they can get a good pick, and I don't like that mentality if they're actually serious.

[@jadincanadian9678]

AGREED

[@Simsdeol]

+Alfred Vega haha

[@theeconomist100]

leafs hit the jackpot

[@TheKidsWearCrowns]

I hope he comes to Calgary, him and Bennett would be a nice 2nd line to compliment Monahan and Gaudreau

[@Chosenlawman]

Monahan is basically the same player

[@defuzinSnipe]

+Inappropriate Comments I feel like matthews is more of a toews/kopitar type of player when on smaller ice.

[@Chosenlawman]

Scott O Monahan is pretty much Toews..same height, handedness, two way forward. Not saying they're clones but they are kinda similar

[@defuzinSnipe]

Inappropriate Comments i got you. I dont look at monahan too much but i know he's a complete player. Not really the flashy, but he does the little things. I just think matthews is more like the current toews cause of the work ethic, corner battles, body control, offensive and defensive positioning is similar to toews, creating something out of literally nothing. Scoring in different ways and always looking to make teammates better.

[@Chosenlawman]

Scott O I like to think of Matthews as Sakic or Toews. His shot reminds me of Sakic

[@huskyfinn9215]

I really want to see Laine vs Matthews, that would be awesome! Two future superstars!

[@Trafiqq]

[@EAchank]

he'd be good with Nylander Marner Kadri JVR and whoever else they put in their top 6 this team has got some serious potential if they get goaltending they will be top 4 within 2 years

[@Chosenlawman]

Wish granted

[@victoriadixon5521]

bernier is a true #1, if he was in Chicago, he would be as good as Crawford.

[@Chosenlawman]

+Victoria Dixon You're kidding right?

[@victoriadixon5521]

+KZbin Sucks yea. I didn't really make it that clear.

[@victoriadixon5521]

+KZbin Sucks although I do think he will have success in Anaheim.

[@jeanninegagne5111]

The more I see Matthews play , the more I like what I'm seeing.!! Am I the only one who thinks that Matthews style of play is eerily similar to McDavid's play..?? I'm not saying that I think he's better or even as good as McD , but if you blurred the names on their back and showed highlights of both players ....I don't think I could tell the difference.?? Similar size as well. OR because I'm a Leaf fan and haven't had anything exciting happen with my team ( since Don Cherry planted one on ' Dougie ' ... announcing #93 as the Best Plyr in the World ) and am wishful thinking..?? 😁 * maybe a little bit of both..?? Either way , what I'm seeing from this Teenage Phenom has me and a ton of battered Leaf Fans Very HAPPY..!!

[@karmanjotgill3034]

Not Really. Matthews is gonna be so good and bigger in terms of size as well. But the way they play is different. Mcdavid uses more of his speed. Matthews has a great shot. Matthews reminds me more of Stamkos

[@jeanninegagne5111]

+Jon Snow yeah I know he has a great shot , probably better then McDavids already , but I don't see Stamkos comparison really. Stamkos is amazing no doubt about it , but I feel Stamkos is dangerous primary because of his shot and rest the rest of his game is ' Good ' ....but not Great. But because he Does possess that ridiculous Shot , he's able to score a shitload of goals. Maybe I'm wrong , but I'd almost guarantee Matthews will be a much more Complete player then Stamkos ..( after a few years naturally ). That's the fun part of getting the first overall pick .... the analysing and debating that is sure to happen. And as a longsuffering Leaf fan I'm really enjoying talking about something of a Positive Nature for a change.. lol. Anyway , I appreciate your thoughts and it'll be fun to see exactly what type player Matthews does become.?? cheers

[@karmanjotgill3034]

Yeah I think he's going to be better then Stamkos as well but, in terms of their shots, its already on Stamkos level

[@4455matthew]

yeah, he'll go number one. Laine is really good, but this guy is more solid, better hands.

[@truefaze2141]

now all we need to do is sign Stammer after the draft :))

[@Reefiemon]

Hello my fellow Leafs fans!

[@johnross1880]

go jets go

[@claudejuniormalo3012]

To who is he comparable? Peter Forsberg?

[@samgardner4667]

Alexander Daigle or Patrick Stefan

[@claudejuniormalo3012]

+Sam Gardner So a real flop?

[@Nagoto_Uzumaki]

+Claude Junior Malo He's compared to kopitar or toews.

[@shanemcghie2839]

20 goals 32 points in 36 games... Ya what a bust. Clearly your analysis was spot on. You should apply to work at TSN.

[@shanemcghie2839]

Åsna Tittut Matthews is better than Laine. Laine has a better shot but Matthews does everything else better than Laine especially play defense

[@timviper8649]

With the Leafs luck, they'll finish last but not get the #1 overall pick.

[@vietvu685]

+Mal Comer always the oilers. So many first round picks and yet still last every year in the standings. I don't even mind if other team gets a first round pick for once

[@Chosenlawman]

Why would that be bad luck if it happened?

[@rk5862]

Welcome to Toronto or the Oilers -_-

[@vietvu685]

Any team but the oilers please

[@BasePuma4007]

Hopefully the flames keep losing so we have a shot at drafting him.

[@SergeantRoosters]

+BasePuma4007 Id rather had Puljujarvi

[@justnormalusername1614]

+Blake Y No Tkachuk and Laine are better than Puljujärvi

[@Chosenlawman]

+That guy who has xbox But he still likes PS Tkachuk sure as hell isn't better than Laine

[@lahtinenlahtinen1497]

What a player.I can't wait, when I see what Oilers like in next season. Mcdavid,Eberle,Hall, Nugent-hopkins and maybe Matthews.How long Oilers wannabe shit?

[@Chosenlawman]

The shit isn't the shit. The oilers are the shit. Next time make sure you wipe your ass after you take an oiler

[@xanders.3810]

I'm gay for Auston Mathews

[@kollis5485]

Laine is better!

[@marruli2925]

Laine is the Best!

[@davidmccalla6799]

+Åsna Tittut Your comment gave me cancer God your a fucking dumbass lmao.

[@gfuelmerchant6654]

This aged well...

[@michaelwalker8912]

0:54 forget Matthews why the fuck is that goalie wearing #2?

[@muhlissuh82]

GUYs STO SAYING TORONTOzq I t s not nhk

[@villehasu8622]

Laine is bettaa

[@Chosenlawman]

Yea..no

[@villehasu8622]

Inappropriate Comments laine is better then Matthew and that true

[@Chosenlawman]

I bet you can't give a good reason

[@GspoTftw]

Fast forward 4 years and Austin Mathews is leading the first place leafs to a Stanley cup and Laine is literally warming the bench Columbus only 10 days after being shipped out of Winnipeg

[@mandalorianlegion576]

It's too bad eichel is better lol

[@samgardner4667]

All his goals came against the easy teams.....he wouldn't get up for the Sweden, Finland, or Russia games, but had no problem playing against the Danes and Swiss. Why are people enamored with this kid?

[@trolman777]

6'2" 200lbs, amazing wrist shot, can win faceoffs, has amazing defensive awareness, is a leader, had 24 goal in 36 games in a Zurich men's league as a 17 year old, was one goal off of breaking the American record (8) in the world juniors this year and he had the same amount of points as mcdavid did in his world juniors. (eichel only had 4 points)

[@samgardner4667]

+trolman777 he got 4 points against the Swiss, and 3 against the Danes. He did little to nothing in the next 5 games

[@trolman777]

+Sam Gardner he was tied for second in the tournament for scoring

[@samgardner4667]

+trolman777 Game 1 v Canada 2pts 1G 1A Game 2 v Sweden 0 points Game 3 v Switzerland 4 points 2 G 2A Game 4 V Denmark 2 points 1G 1A Game 5 v Czech Republic 3 points 3 G Game 6 v Russia 0 points Game 7 v Sweden 0 points. So, what that tells me is, the kid doesn't get up for big games. Outside of the Czech Republic Game (a team that won only 2 games in Group B) in qualifying, he couldn't be asked to do anything special. A large chunk of his points came against the legendary Team Switzerland. Another chunk came against the Danes and a very weak Czech team. The kid wouldn't get up for the Two Sweden games, Russia, and had a secondary assist and garbage goal against the Canadians. Basically Matthews points only came against teams that didn't matter

[@trolman777]

Sam Gardner I remember watching the Russia game, Matthews was still the best player on the ice he had so many great chances but Ilya Samsonov stood on his head and made like 40 saves. and the game against sweden matthews line generated 2 goals and he was as much apart of their goals as the people who got the points with the defensive plays that lead to the goals

[@trithetree1982]

Laine is better

[@jaredmula8830]

Hes a bust
