Ahead of 3,000th game, relive Joe Bowen's call of Matthews' 4-goal debut

Maple Leafs broadcaster Joe Bowen will call his 3,000th game Tuesday when Toronto hosts the Detroit Red Wings at Air Canada Centre.
What's exceptional about Bowen, and one of the many reasons he's become entrenched in Maple Leafs history, isn't simply the passion and enthusiasm he brings to the booth every night. It's that he has maintained it through so many lean years since his start almost 35 years ago.
To celebrate his zest across 3,000 nights, relive his call from a potential landmark moment in franchise history and harbinger of future glory: Auston Matthews' four-goal debut.
