The camera finds Auston Matthews in the doorway, laden with grocery bags and a paper wrapper held fast in his teeth. He announces his triumph with a muffled declaration, drops the bags with a proud flourish, and darts back for the egg carton. His foot catches the edge of the rug. In a beautiful, slow-motion disaster, the eggs soar into the air. He follows, tumbling to the floor in a clumsy, graceless heap. He lies there, sprawled amidst the wreckage of his pride and his groceries, as you watch, a laugh already bubbling up at the hockey star's spectacular lack of coordination.
