Auston Matthews scored 40 goals and led the Maple Leafs to the playoffs in his rookie season, so he has every reason to be proud of himself. He took the meaning of pride in a slightly different direction Monday by getting a massive tattoo on his arm depicting a lion wearing a crown.

Los Angeles Kings mascot Bailey, however, doesn't wear a crown when supporting the Kings at the Staples Center.

It's also possible Matthews' favorite childhood movie was "The Lion King," even though it came out three years before he was born.
