Player Discussion Auston Matthews (Captain Edition)

Makar's read on the play and that rim around was excellent. Sent that whole defensive coverage into a mad scramble and opened up the entire slot.

Hockey IQ off the charts from all three there combined with elite execution.

People do realize McDavid shot the puck on net right?

The rebound went around out to Makar.

Who shot it around and marner picked it up and history.

It wasn't a face-off set play.

I'm not sure what part of it was set up but Marner went immediately into the corner and Makar didn't even have to look before he threw it around to him.

To me it looked very much like a set play but I agree that it may not have been planned specifically around winning a faceoff.

Sadly, now we have to from relying on guys that play with heart and soul to relying on a guy who plays with stick and puck.

Sadly we still have to read more of your bullshit made up nonsense

Yep. The speed of the puck movement was great. When the Leafs struggle on the PP, they really don't move it around like that.

Maybe Matty saw Mitch was getting the puck and eluded McDavid to get himself open. Oops - wrong team?
