Auston Matthews has had a fantastic rookie season so far for the Maple Leafs, and he’s been rewarded with an All Star Game nod. All year he’s been given chances to prove himself, and every time he’s excelled. He did it at the World Cup, he’s done it with the Leafs, and now he faces perhaps his greatest challenge: making the Skills Competition interesting!
In all seriousness, I’m actually interested enough to watch some of it this year. I’ve gushed over all the gifs of Matthews’ warmups where he casually dangles like a God like it was nothing.
