Auston Matthews

In this blog, I want to talk about Auston Matthews who is a rookie that came this year to the league. He is on the Toronto Maple Leafs, taking the league by storm and is only 19 years old. Even though he is an American, I will write a blog for him because he plays for Toronto, that is my team for life.This is probably not the only blog that I will write about him in his career. There will be more in the future.

He is blessed with amazing skating skills and abilities. He has an amazing speed that makes him very dangerous in the offensive zone. He can scores goals anytime and you need always to keep track of where he is on the ice. Now he is in a little of drought in scoring goals but I am sure that he will bounce back soon. He is leading the team and with Mitch Marner and JVR, they are making an amazing front line that makes Toronto a high scoring team and very dangerous. They are the first line and in my opinion one of the most dangerous combinations in the league. The other lines are also great with all the rookies and the veterans but this line I think is the most dangerous one.
He has great orientation in the offensive zone and especially near the net and he always knows where to be in order to get the rebounds. He has a great shot, great velocity, and a very accurate one.
He also has an amazing ability to control and hold onto the puck in the offensive zone when it's crowded and there is a lot of traffic. A couple of times I saw him scoring when he fell or when there were players around him. I also saw a lot of acrobatic goals from him.
From the start when he scored four goals in his debut in the NHL which is a record for a rookie, you could see his potential. All the opposing players respect and fear him because of his abilities in the offensive zone. He has amazing respect from the league which is amazing for a rookie.
What I like about him also is that he is a team player and does what the coach asks from him, or whatever the team needs. He isn’t afraid to play physical game if it’s necessary for the team to get the win. He isn’t afraid to get hit or block shots if needed. He has the mentality of a shooter but he also plays for his teammate and for the team. He thinks first of the success of the team before his own. I think that it’s a very important quality and I admire this quality in him.

He has a mentality that only the great players have which is modesty and devotion to the game. He is also always looking to improve his game. Mike Babcock always praises him and thinks highly of him. He has the potential of being a great player and to emerge as a superstar in the league. He is already a superstar but he has potential to be one of the best players in the league.

In my opinion, he will emerge as a superstar in the NHL in the years to come. Even in his rookie year, you can see his potential. He has amazing skills and abilities that only will get better in time. He has the mentality and potential to be one of the greatest players in the league and in the history of the NHL. I feel blessed to see him develop and I think that he will lead the Maple Leafs to great seasons and to be again at the top of the league. I hope that Toronto will sign him after this year to a long-term contract and he will lead Toronto to success in the years to come.

Toronto Rookies and the 5 Years plan

This Blog is talking about The rookies of the Toronto maple leafs that taking the league by storm, during this incredible year they broke the record for rookies in a single season that held since the 60s, also to what my opinion on the future of the team. Toronto has a core of great and talented young rookies that most of them are barely 20 years old, rookies such as Austin Matthews, Mitchel Marner,   Morgan  Rielly,  Zach  Hyman,  Nikita  Zaitsev. I feel that I witness the birth of young and talented players that in the years to come will only get better and develop their skills that they have, and will take center stage of the NHL. Already when they talking about Austin Matthew, all the analysts are comparing him to  Sidney Crosby that currently is the best player in the NHL, and led the Canada team to win the last three Olympic and tournaments. All the rookies have great skills and speed that keep the other team on their toes and disrup...

Nazem Kadri

In this blog, I want to talk about Nazem Kadri which is a defenseman in Toronto hockey team which in my opinion, is a fantastic player and a great leader. What I admire in him it's his approach to the game and the mentality that he brings every night and every shift. He always plays hard and delivers the big hits on the opponent  and get under the opponent skin. With his physical game, he always disrupts the other team offensive game because they always need to see where he is on the ice and to predict when the big hit will come. He plays controlled defense and doesn't makes mistakes and always navigate the defense during the games. You can see in his game his devotion and passion to the game and also his desire to win. He is always bringing everything to the ice and to the game, he plays with his heart and soul to help Toronto win games. You can see in his game that he is obligated to Toronto success and will do everything that he can to accomplish it. I t...

Toronto off-season signings

In this post, I want to talk about the signings that Toronto has made during the summer and the addition of the three veteran players. I already spoke of the Patrick Marleau signings in Toronto, so I will focus on the other signings. Toronto has extended the contract of the core of the young talented players as the extended Zach Hyman and Tylor Bozak which in my opinion is a brilliant move, but in Bozak case, the extension is too long and too much. They had great success last year, and in my mind, this is an incredible core of young players that will lead Toronto to success in the next few years. The chemistry that they have with each other and their passion for the game are amazing qualities which are fun and exciting to see them play. I think that this core of young and talented players should stay in Toronto and the management should do everything to keep them. Also in another two years, they should sign Matthew, Nylander, and Marner to a long term deal because their contract ...
