With a performance as strong as this and helping the Leafs come back to win in the shootout, it would be wise to not question Matthews on his flaws. However, one reporter felt the need to do so.
Reporter Embarasses Matthews
In the post-game press conference, one reporter decided to ask Matthews an awful question.
Matthews is asked what he thought about getting a hat trick while �not playing his best game' tonight:
«Honestly, I don't know, Steve»
While it may have not been his strongest overall game, he still scored a hat trick and helped lead the Leafs to victory.
The Leafs and Matthews will now set their sights on their game against the Minnesota Wild and getting out to an early leading the standings.
