We’ve been waiting for this. It’s a hockey Christmas of sorts. Time for the fresh blood to show us what they’ve got. Typically, the first day on the job, you just keep your head down and try to make sure no one important notices you mess up too terribly and regret hiring you, and remember the important logins. 

Auston Matthews just strides in with a box of donuts for everyone, smiles and says “oh yeah this whole places is gonna be mine in three years.” And somehow got a better parking spot than the CEO.

We’re not even halfway into the second period and Matthews made the most of his first day on the job and put up a hat trick against the Ottawa Senators. 

Oh, and another one at the buzzer.

What else is there to say?
