Auston Matthews is a Leaf! Auston Matthews is a Leaf! Auston Matthe - Author: Brian Stewart - Tags: From The Branches, #chorus, #Import 2023-04-05 11:27 Today is Family Day in the only place that matters — Toronto! We’re supposed to celebrate family, I guess, for reasons that have to do with.... family, or something. So we here at PPP want to celebrate it by honouring our prodigal son, Auston Matthews, for making us just so damned happy that he’s ours. Of course, we love all our children. William Nylander for the sick pass to Matthews for the game winning goal, Zach Hyman for actually giving an example of how his forechecking helps Matthews score goals, and Josh Leivo for being a good sport about being cooped up in the attic eating nothing but fish heads. Happy Family Day, PPP! ## ONTO THE LINKS!

I love how the woman clearly anticipated this happening and had her phone ready. Remind me to have something like that the next time I’m at a game with my sister. > Our bad. 😬 [pic.twitter.com/dy9BGtZtWP](https://t.co/dy9BGtZtWP?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — San Jose Sharks (@SanJoseSharks) [February 19, 2018](https://twitter.com/SanJoseSharks/status/965412578250833920?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) It’s doubly good because it represents only the [second time](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JgcdkgbJN8&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) in the history of the Kiss Cam that it didn’t completely suck or make things awkward for two unfortunate people. Meanwhile, the Flyers and Rangers had one of the more entertaining games of the year. They had 11 goals total, six in the first period alone, with two fights (one including Gostisbehere!) and a hurt goalie. > Brian Elliott is out for 5 weeks...Michal Neuvirth now out with a lower body injury...Are the Flyers looking for goaltending at the deadline now? > > — John Shannon (@JSportsnet) [February 18, 2018](https://twitter.com/JSportsnet/status/965295951110901760?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Garrett Sparks and Roman Polak to the Flyers for Wayne Simmonds. Done! (sorry Annie...) In other breaking news, Connor McDavid is good at hockey, scoring a hat trick against the Avs including a no-scope snipe. > Connor McDavid scoring goals without even looking at the net [pic.twitter.com/dLSMeQpoB3](https://t.co/dLSMeQpoB3?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Brady Trettenero (@BradyTrett) [February 18, 2018](https://twitter.com/BradyTrett/status/965356175381299200?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) After taking a day, Devante Smith-Pelly spoke about about the racist harassment he faced from Chicago Blackhawks fans. Wayne Simmonds, who is no stranger to dealing with racist fans after having London, Ontario fans throw a banana at him, also spoke out about it on Twitter. > Pretty embarrassing that this still happens. Doesn't shock me though which is the saddest part of all. Those ppl should be banned from every rink in the NHL [#ignorance](https://twitter.com/hashtag/ignorance?src=hash&ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) [@NHL](https://twitter.com/NHL?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) [@NHLBlackhawks](https://twitter.com/NHLBlackhawks?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Wayne Simmonds (@Simmonds17) [February 19, 2018](https://twitter.com/Simmonds17/status/965413887104442370?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) It’ll be nice if we can ever get to a world where men and women of all races, sexual orientations, gender identities, and religious beliefs can just play a fucking sport they like without assholes going out of their way to make them feel bad for it. Have a good Monday off to all the Ontarians, and a neener neener to everyone who has to work! ### If Lou is the Father, and Matthews the son... who’s the Holy Ghost? | Reimer!
