GG. It was a fun game to watch.
I'm glad the rivalry between us two appears to be back.
Somebody had a beautiful split shot of the moment Auston loaded up the shot compared to the moment he released it - there was seriously at least a 4 foot horizontal difference between two. That kind of angle change would be ridiculous even on a muffin shot - but you add in the insane velocity and accuracy and we might be seeing one of the legendary wrist shots of all time.
I'll admit it - i can't even track the puck on his shots in real time. I have no idea where the puck is until I hear it ping off the post.

I am not sure how to embed, but this shot from the bench is all kinds of stupid fun.
1) tavares changes posture on the load up of the shot (he knows whats coming)
2) Sparks having a moment with our lord and saviour
3) Dermott looking completely dumbfounded and in need of therapy
4) Bobby Hastings is just too chill (smirks when he checks the time left)
I think Matthews is on pace for the most goals by a Leaf ever, Marner assists, Rielly dman goals and points, Andersen save% and wins, and the team points.
And we are now 1/3 of the way through the season.
Just took a quick glance and if Matthews regressed back to 16sh% for the rest of the season he should finish up with 45 goals
With Willy back and that lethal PP I just have a hard time seeing him regressing that much so 50 is not out of the question this year
He has to shoot at 18% in order to hit 35 in the remaining games. With that release it's very doable
