Auston Matthew 50 in 50 watch (37 in 42 so far)

[Video Nasty]

when no one else else in the league was anywhere near that.

Yeah, he was 20 goals ahead of #2 Bossy after potting his 50th (and 40 points ahead of #2 Stastny in the scoring race).

50 goals and 108 points through 39 games.

Would finish up with 42 goals and 104 points in his remaining 41 games.

50 in 50 is not happening this season for Matthews now. The Leafs are a tire fire that is about to miss the playoffs potentially. That team is awful.

more than double those leads by end of season.
Never been another scorer so far ahead of the pack before or since The Great One

I think we can safely close this thread

That's worth emphasizing. A lot of people have dismissed Gretzky's best goal-scoring years because the league was much higher scoring than today. True, there were more goals per game - but nobody was even close:

Gretzky was 67% ahead of the next closest player (Mike Bossy - who was at/near his peak, and universally considered a top ten goal-scorer in NHL history). Granted, there were some weaker players in the top ten, but Gretzky nearly doubled the output of Hall of Famers like Messier, Dionne and Ciccarelli - and he did this while being 1st by far in assists.

I barely look at the standings lol. I don't think they miss. Teams will still make deals.

The season is over for Toronto bud. They were never a contender. You have to feel bad for Matthews, surrounded by losers. That Nylander contract is absolutely a joke. At first I was happy that Toronto got him extended, but now that the dust has settled you see it for what it really is. The guy is a fraud, 7-8M player at best. The Leafs are f*****. The very worst goaltending in the league.

 

[voucher101]

Easy. This guy scores goals like it’s nothing.

Just kidding.

 

[Sentinel]

Not today. He was stopped by the elite goaltending of Reimer.

 

[Mr Buckles]

#35, 36 and 37

Nope. Hatrick tonight. 37 in 42(43).

Matthews is that one guy who can pull it off. He has done it before.

 

[winnipegger]

Man the leafs lean heavy on this guy. Produced 75% of their offense tonight in a game they absolutely needed to win. Great player.

Yeah, hes paid to be that guy

 

[lipstickjunkie]

He's no Tim Stutzle, but he's not bad.

 

[Coffey]

He’s very good.

 

[the valiant effort]

Lol.

 

[authentic]

He's no Tim Stutzle, but he's not bad.

Think about it though for like 3 million less we could’ve had Tim Stutzle and another one of Domi’s sons

 

[MessierII]

He’ll crack 60 again barring an injury.

Tim Stutzle 41 points
Auston Matthews 37 goals

Who would you rather have Auston Mathews or Stutzle + Korpisalo?

 

[Nicko999]

Habs top scorer: 37 pts
Auston Matthews: 37 goals

 

[Da McBomb]

Very very impressive

 

[HFpapi]

Nevermind 50 in 50, I want to see if Matthews can finish the season with more hattricks than Tim Stutzle has goals.

Stutzle: 8 goals
Matthews: 4 Hattricks

AM needs to pick it up a bit.
