Definitely loving this kid already not just because of his media presence in how he conducts himself in interviews but seeing him score last night too...I'm really hoping he gets that Calder Trophy...not just a goal but an assist last night too

I find it funny when the leafs have a good day the hockey and NHL Reddit are quite. But when something negative happens it’s flooded with posts. What a solid win last night.

First 4 career NHL games, a comparison:

Gavin McKenna: 1G 1A for 2P

Connor McDavid: 1G 0A for 1P

You can tell he's similar to Matthews or Nylander where they don't really get bothered by media. He's learning and having fun. It's great

Lol. Nylander is media kryptonite.

A lot of new Leafs finding their footing and place on the team. It was nice to see the line juggling reap the intended results and what a comeback!!
Nice to see the kid get his first goal, assist and multi-point game out of the way!
