This wouldn’t have been worth a chuckle if not for the correction. (Well, maybe a chuckle at Auston Matthews’ expense.)
On the 33rd goal of his brilliant rookie season, Auston Matthews made it 2-0 for Toronto on the power play. Crusty “act like you’ve been there” types might grumble that he actually celebrated before a goal really happened, only to tap it in for real the second time around. The rest of us, again, get a mild chuckle.
William Nylander’s pass was nothing to laugh at, however. That one just gets a big thumbs up.
That Nylander pass hnnmmggggghhh

Hnnngmgghh indeed.
That goal could end up being key as the Blue Jackets quickly scored to start the second period, shrinking Toronto’s lead to 2-1 on Wednesday.
Update: OK, so Nylander’s really stealing the show. This is stupendous.
