All of which have shaped the player he’s become today.

Ema was the most engaging person in this interview. Auston and Donnovan giving a typical awkward NHL interview.
not really
@@sofiacooke7532Lol
Auston has been raised right. The way he says thank you to the restaurant owner bringing food at 5:58 shows that.
How can you judge or evaluate one gesture of a person there upbringing. Maybe he was self raised, never know, a lot of ppl are now adays ;)
Would you say the mma fighters the diaz Brothers were raised wrong cause they are more street, had a edgy vibe did what they had to do to get by?
Thank you for your tweet Richard. Did I earn your respect or approval of upbringing yet? Lol
Auston to his mom on the way home: “well, that was awkward.”
As a latin descent hockey fanatic, it does do something for me to see some players be open with showing their heritage some love. Latin, Slavic, etc, whatever, it brings in new fans to show love to your family's country of origin.
Dude's Mexican ? I thought he was of Irish/Scottish ancestry.😮
Cabbie wouldve been a dope interviewer here. It wouldve been more funny, less serious questions, more hockey related rather than political.
This guys brutal, he substitutes for Tim and Sid here and there and it shows.
Yeah! Like when are The Leafs gonna beat The Bruins in a playoff series to win The Stanley Cup and end the 58 year drought ? 🤔🇨🇦🏒🏆
Brutal interview, Auston knows it too he just hides it well lol, shout out to Ema for keeping the convo exciting.
not really
this interviewer: "and do you.. eat mexican food *while* you celebrate a goal, or.. ?"
"And is there... margarita in your water bottle, or....?"
Ok this seriously cracked me up 😂
this guys questions suck lmao "what about your mexican heritage influences your goal celebrations"
Terry Chen lamo
Hey Donovan--interviewer-- That was literally the most stupid question you could’ve asked Austin. Is there a half Mexican goal celebration???? Jesus
@@Infoseek777 Taking a shot of tequila followed by maple syrup? hehe
Have you seen the Mexican football team celebrate goals?
facts lmao
Ema is so genuine…..she has such a glow in her eyes when’s she’s talking about Auston….and looking at him….amazing bond they have!
Toronto got more than just a franchise player. They got a franchise family. Love the Matthews fam! 💙
Great kid. Better parents.
do you know them? do you know Matthews?
@@Jimmyfly215 I do, I lived on there street growing up. Friends with his sister more then Matt
@@shahveerkhosraviani5338 LOL, you weren't expecting that James were you hahahaa
His debut game was and is such and honor to watch 🇲🇽
This feature would have been so much better with the right interviewer... Way too many awkward questions and pauses
I find this interviewer always kinda bad no matter which time i've watched him.
true they should have gotten biz to do it.
Yeah I was excited to watch this beforehand but yikes ...
@@Yanai17 that would have been worse. they need someone with an actual brain not that idiot.
factsss
Growing up (born & raised) in Toronto, as the only Mexican family who was into hockey (that we knew of), and whose 2 sons (myself & my older brother) both played hockey, I always dreamed of the day a Mexican or someone of Hispanic descent would play in the NHL...nevermind for my HOME TEAM Leafs!!! I always imagined it would happen in the US first, since their Mexican population is so huge compared to Canada's, but surprisingly...over the decades, the Mexican/Hispanic community has grown very large in Toronto. Hopefully having Matthews playing for the Leafs sparks a surge in Latino/Hispanic players in the league 🙏🇲🇽💪
p.s. I realize there have been a couple of other Latino players in the league (e.g. Scott Gómez - NY Rangers)
None have been "Superstars" & didn't really speak much about their Hispanic heritage.
I'm Mexican Canadian as well bro ! Órale 🇲🇽🇨🇦
my dad is mexican and he made me a leafs fan when i was growing up because when moved to toronto he couldnt watch his pumas games so he settled for hockey. this year i finally started playing hockey myself and seeing auston represent hispanic hockey players especially on my home team is the best.
Good luck lmfao
The thing of it is, Matthews is only HALF Mexican....
@@schmingusss so am i, what does that matter?
Ema is always such a class act :) love her!!
Do you really have no other questions so you ask this guy if his Mexican background applies with his goal celebration
As a proud Latino just makes me so happy
Me too! Hopefully there will be more of us Latinos in the game in the future!
Ilikebeaversandeaglesupyourass He’s mestizo. He’s actually more white than Native American. Don’t call Mexican a race. Mexican is a nationality. If anything He’s mestizo.
@@troohhippy5929 his mom looks majority white maybe 80% white and his dad is white so he’s probably 90% white
Siii, yo también
@@troohhippy5929 He’s also Mexican, her mother is from Hermosillo, Sonora
Mom is very elegant lady- Austin is very poised and humble. Thanks much to both .
Mamá Ema es la estrella de la entrevista! Idola!!!!! 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽
Mcdavid might be NHLs most skilled player however I love the authenticity you get from Papi, he's himself and very natural. You don't get that with McDavid, rather he's more robotic and provides answers the way the franchise has trained him to do, which is greatly outlined in the "10 things I can not live with out".
I love the hug and Spanish between the owner and Emma, very wholesome.
So disappointed in this interview Ema Matthews is so engaging and her wonderful personality is wasted on this wet blanket of an interviewer...
Cudos to his parents! His success, humility and morals all come from them ❤️
Negl the interview seemed a bit flat. Not sure if an interviewer more involved in latino/hispanic culture would've helped or maybe the questions weren't the correct ones, but it was nice hearing what Auston and Ema had to say about the topic :)
I'm from Phoenix Arizona. Very happy thrilled for Hispanic American Player in the NHL. He, and Alec Martinez of VGK are role models for future Latinos. And all ethnicities.
This was a really great interview more about his heritage and his mother was great
DJ!!!! 👏🏼 This was was so inspiring! As a Hispanic-Canadian, this was so wonderful to watch. I grew up watching hockey and never saw many latinos play hockey. Watching Austin Matthews is surreal. Thank you for this. 🙏🏽
Mexican food is the best!
I agree. I’m from northwest PA where Taco Bell is about it, just spent two weeks in San Jose and the Mexican restaurants there are on point. So good
As a total...Canadian Canadian who's never been to Mexico...I think that this I interview was great...his mom is a amazing eomqn and you can tell she passed thst on to her son...not the woman part haha...both very humble but engaging
Middle of interview server sets bowl on table .....Mathews thank you.....That's manners good upbringing you could tell it was automatic/natural reflex....that's what stood out to me.
That is why I always refer him to my work buddy who is also a huge Leafs fan as the Mexican Ovechkin.
Why did Auston’s dad just disappear all of a sudden????
My thoughts to but I’m thinking because he’s not Mexican and that’s what every question was about
Because he's white and that doesn't fit Sportsnet's narrative
pill0wm4n that’s actually kinda facts 😂😂😂
@@pill0wm4n lmao
he ded
how could u not love this man
I hated this interviewer but like Auston looks so cute I still watched lmao
When I leave Canadastan and get to Mexico, it would be super to have Mrs. Matthews give me some advice LOL. Great interview here.
This was great, I’ve always wanted an NHL player to go on hot ones and I think auston would be great for it - might actually be able to handle some of the heat
I'd want to see the Spittin Chiclets crew first. I'd love too see Biznasty's reactions
What’s with all the random “X”s flashing on screen? Weird and pointless..
Sooo dumb
ummmm exsqueeeeze me it's called *dEsiGn*
@@yourturntoroll-criticalrol3607 or the lack of
right?? like i thought it was gunna give more details of stuff but then nothing happened & they just disappeared
Lucky boy Auston. Loves his mom and she is very supportive of his "goals". Good family values there.
I absolutely didn’t hold a tear in the end of this video
Meeting matthewws is my life dream I never stop talking about him when my parents hear me talk about him there probably thinking does this girl ever shut up about him like seriously Matthews is such a awesome positive guy the leafs need to keep him and protect him as much as they can love ya matthewws
I think the Mexicano Mustache is really a salute to his heritage. It brings out the Mexican in him.
This was so sweet
I think Auston is like "Yes, im half-Mexican, can we talk about Hockey now".
This interview reminded me of those spoof articles about the one african-american's house being the historical black part of town.
My parents who's from El Salvador me being from Vancouver and a big Canucks, being Canadian it's nothing new to me to for Latins living in Canada to be hockey fans. Big Canucks playoff games we had parties with all types of salvadorean food
So proud he’s pushing the sport for us Latinos! Not a lot of Hispanics in the NHL, so I’m glad that we have an icon like Mathews to be absolutely destroying the game for us! 🇲🇽🇺🇸
Ilikebeaversandeaglesupyourass really? There so many caucasians in the NHL. Not a lot of Latinos, so please let me have my moment.
@@benny_bricks1286 Skill is skill, doesn't matter who has it
Yeah like Alec Martinez right
OMG, Matthews’s is the nicest kid ever. I hope he never changes. Great family. As an 8 year old, he looks like a hockey player.
Great family, Ema is a lovely lady.
i really hope this family stays in toronto forever, we love them here
I love Austin Mathews (even tho he’s a leaf). I feel so sorry for him. Every interview I have seen him do he always gets asked a absolutely stupid question or two. But I’m impressed with how he handles them when they happen.
Ema is so great.
Why is this your favorite food?
I don't know... I like *soup*?
Somebody get these guys a soup commercial. Campbell, Mikheyev, and Matthews just throwing back spoons full of the stuff
personally I take off my hat in a restaurant
I'm mexican. I Love hockey. But it was not affordable unfortunately. And then I got older got a job and afford gear to play in rec leagues. I hope more mexican players come along and give can to us the opportunity to play and grow.
best mexican NHL player of all time
“You like the soup?” Auston: yea it’s pretty good. “What makes it so good?” Ummmmmm what kinda question is that😂
See hockey isn't racist! We have a Mexican!!
Mexicans*. Max Pacioretty and Matt Nieto have some Mexican heritage in them, too.
Mexican is not a race, genius ❤️
I like it when top athletes do very normal things.
Saludos de Mexico ! I’m a hockey fan & am proud that he’s making an impact & ojalá que más mexicanos se animan para el hockey 🏒 let’s go Coyotes !!
Mexican fan here too! Though I root for the Bruins hahaha
Mexicano orgullosamente de los Altos de Jalisco. LET'S GO BLUES!
big hockey fan here in Colorado! 100% mexicano!! let’s go Avalanche!!
Leafs you got a nice young man there - take care of him!
that's pretty neat
not even a leafs fan but ngl i cried a lot at the end of the video
first born son always gets the mothers love...
@RichIrving, couldn't agree more. Great hockey player. Better person.
christian guzmans dad at 11:59 lol
What's the soup called?
Clean fit 👌🏽 why the hell isnt cabbie doing this interview ? 🤦🏽♂️
Great mexican hockey player, pants down
👑 🇲🇽 🏒, 👖 ⬇️
Ema matthews seems like she’s a chill country club mom
The food is making me hungry lol
Faizal would of been more good for this interview.
This must have been filmed right before the incident broke.....
Ok ive been watching Matthews, not a leafs fan, but ill have to root for Mathews now that i know were both of Mexican heritage.
There’s no better man than a man who loves his family
Wow ! He's half Mexican I literally did not know that lol
Mexico has a national hockey team.
Wow mexican in the nhl
Ema is such a qt
have you seen his sisters? ...man..i'd be Matthews step-dad just to get to them... lol
This guy is gonna be in LA
I feel like the fact he was half mexican and from arizona helped him....no pressure no one expects that....and his parents didnt ride him like many others do
Latino boy 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Why is his Dad not at the table?
Agujetas de color de rosa😊
Did they decide to have somebody who’s never conducted an interview start with this one?
Maybe ask if he thinks Marner and Tavares deserve as much as him?
I wish games could come to australia 🤧🥺
You're wish has come true buddy.
Matts:
You shouldn't wear Your hat at the dinner table .
What was the soup they had?
The name is in the video description
Auston hablo?
¡Oralé!
His mom is cool...
Hat off when you're eating
Where’s cabbie when we need him
i think the mathews ,laine debate is finally over,wouldn't you say
The Toronto Maple Leafs are like Stan Mikita's Chicago Blackhawks, full of talent, didn't play as a team and only won one Stanley cup.
alright.... i dont live far from this place ya buddy... caps fan
Lol dude really just asked if he thinks Mexico will get an nhl team😂😂
They have a team lol
@@RZARECK-nw5dg not an NHL team
we like Tacos and Chipotle
Thought the said Breaking Bad
Forever Hockey 🔥
Tribes in Mexico played a version of hockey with curved sticks.
