Auston Matthews sort of sounds Canadian. Anyone who didn't realize that learned it after the Maple Leafs won the draft lottery.
The way he pronounces 'Os' doesn't out him as an Arizonan, that's fer sure. So ... good for him, I guess? Not really. Whatever. People sound the way they sound and look the way they look.
That brings us to this line from John Buccigross' column about Matthews at ESPN.com. Part of it is actually not there anymore — it was deleted. But, hey, the good stuff was preserved.
This -- the implication that Auston will do well in TOR because he'll "pass" as a Good Canadian Boy -- is gross.
