Auston Matthews loses focus during media session, compliments journalist's excellent mustache

Pro hockey players, especially in Toronto, are constantly under the microscope in the media, so it's easy to forget at times that these guys are human, just like the rest of us. For Auston Matthews, a media session on Friday was the scene of some humour when a question was directed his way from the Toronto Sun's Terry Koshan.

Koshan had asked Matthews a question about what a full training camp might be able to do for him this season after not being able to have the full benefits last summer due to his recovery from a surgical procedure on his wrist. It took Matthews a moment to figure out who he was looking at, as Koshan had apparently upped his mustache game over the summer. Matthews' reaction was priceless.
