It's already past obvious that Matthews is awesome.  They got very lucky there.

It's hard to believe a referee who thinks that's a penalty shot can be employed in the top league on the planet.  

Leafs have every lineup position filled by someone who deserves to be there - no passengers, no overpaid vets getting ice time because of their contract size, no youngsters over their head..  One guy goes down, the next guy (e.g Leivo) comes in and fills the spot properly.  That's a huge change from the last 5 decades or so.
