TORONTO - As time was winding down in the third period of an edge-of-your-seat fantastic World Cup of Hockey game between Sweden and North America on Wednesday, the packed house at Air Canada Centre slowly erupted into a booming chant.
It wasn?t for one of the teams on the ice. It wasn?t for an established superstar. It was for the youngest player on the ice, with zero NHL contests to his name.
As the tilt moved to overtime knotted 3-3, the crowd swelled even louder, chanting in union:
?AU-STON MATTH-EWS! AU-STON MATTH-EWS!?
He didn?t net the game-winning goal for North America (that was Nathan MacKinnon who gave the Young Guns a 4-3 victory). He doesn?t even have an official number with the Toronto Maple Leafs yet. But Auston Matthews, the phenom who just last week celebrated his 19th birthday, better prepare to hear his name chanted in this arena. A lot.
?I did [hear them]. It?s pretty awesome,? Matthews said. ?There?s obviously a lot of tension in that overtime period, so you kind of try to block out [the noise] but at the same time, it?s pretty fun.?
So. Very. Bland.
I love it.
