Toronto Maple Leafs phenom took the NHL by storm in his rookie season, racking up 40 goals and 69 points in 82 games along the way and leading the Leafs back into the playoffs for the first time in nearly five years. So, how does a 19 year-old superstar celebrate? With a new tattoo of course.

That’s pretty bad ass. Aside from the fact that it looks eerily close to Los Angeles Kings mascot Bailey, it’s a solid tat. Maybe it’s an homage to Matthews’ Swiss League championship with the ZSC Lions? Or maybe, it’s merely a self portrait of Toronto’s young King? Whatever the significance, it receives the HockeyFeed seal of approval. Awesome.
