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

[MadLuke]

Yeah dont care, 50 goals in 50 games is the same thing if its in 50 team games or player games.
this has happened what? once since Lemieux in the 90s? I guess because a Leaf did it, it's no big deal. can only assume if a player did this on any other team he would get praised

it is obviously not the same, we can all agree to say it is a small difference but one difference none the less.

22 players did it at least.

if we restrict it to 50 consecutive game in a season (not sure if you care if the game are all in the same season or not) at least those did it:

(biggest among of goals in 50 consecutive regular season games played)

Wayne Gretzky	66
Brett Hull	59
Mario Lemieux	59
Alexander Mogilny	59
Phil Esposito	53
Mike Bossy	51
Jari Kurri	51
Bernie Nicholls	51
Maurice Richard	50
Charlie Simmer	50

I am not sure why anyone would ever care about any of this, it cannot have the first importance about anything, it is really not special if you don't I just explained why some do.

one is more impressive than the other sure but none the less, its still impressive and not that big of a list of players that have done it.

people act like scoring 51 in 50 is some kind of joke because it wasnt done in the teams first 50 games.

I feel that a strawman, 50 in 50 is pure historically trivia, obviously scoring 49 or 50 goals in 50 games mean nothing and just a way to go back in history.

People pointing out that the 50 in 50 history is about team game because it appears once the nhl increase the number of game in a season over 50 and people want to track, does the new record set for pts-goals were made during the previous season format or only possible because there is more game now (why people would care about the 2 scenario being obvious), not that it is easy to score 50 goals in 50 consecutive played game, it is just something that happened more often.

 

[Strangle]

To be fair only leaf and oilers players get a new thread every time they take a piss too.

Anyone scoring 28 goals in 30 games would have gotten a thread

Well of course it happened more often in 32 stretches of 50 games combined than 1.

Definitely not a joke, great feat.
You’ll notice Matthew’s wasn’t on the list you quoted from @MadLuke as it wasn’t done in 50 consecutive team games, as AM got suspended for 2 games in middle of streak.

it was an other than Matthews that I did when Matthews just achieved to do it, that list are consecutive player game (restricted to have been played in a single season) going by memory. Some on that list did it many times.

Ahh ok , so you’re counting ones that aren’t even 50 consecutive team games.
I thought you meant ones that could happen from game 2-51, 13-62, 21-70 32 possibilities) etc

Mostly when scoring was way higher. No one has scored 50 goals in 50 games in a lower scoring season than Matthews. I think the closest is Cam Neely in 1993-94.

Mario did it in 95-96

 

[authentic]

Mario did it in 95-96

Scoring was higher than when Matthews did it

 

[RRhoads]

Mario did it in 95-96

Unofficially. 50 in 50 is for the team's first 50 games, not the first 50 games you play. It was the team's 59th

Scoring was higher than when Matthews did it

It is not. It was 3.14 g/gp in 95/96, and 3.16 now.

 

[Nathaniel Skywalker]

Lol. Matthews has 28 goals in his team's first 31 games. He's played 30. Whoever is trying to Downplay it as not official because he missed one game is f***ing wild

Matthews scored 50 in 50 in 21/22 when scoring was 3.14 per game, same as 95/96.

258 by 82 in 95-96 vs 255 in 2021-2022, hockey-reference will add team winning in shotout extra goals in the quick season average

 

[Divine]

lol his brother is not a PF in the true sense, he’s more pest than fighter.
Good story though, Merry Christmas

Sure, if you change the definition of a power forward to where only Brady Tkachuk is a power forward - then he'd be simultaneously the best and worst power forward in the league.

Nice!

Matthews scored 50 in 50 in 21/22 when scoring was 3.14 per game, same as 95/96.

It is actually lower though because shootout goals don’t count towards your totals. Also Mario Lemieux averaged over 7 minutes on the powerplay that season (where he scored over half his points), sat out the 2nd of every back to back game and played just about as little defense as possible.

What a one hit, unproven wonder Mario Lemieux was.

 

[Leaf Fans]

Better start planning the 895th goal parade in downtown Toronto now

Why? Is that what they would do in Buffalo when they have a prolific goal scorer?

 

[22Brad Park]

Great goal scorer without a doubt ,but not to hijack thread. I still pray daily Bruins get to face them in playoffs

They usually are excellent series! I hope if they meet again the series goes to the Leafs. They rarely beat Boston in the playoffs,

First time in a Matthews thread? For some people in here Matthews will always be some mediocre scrub being overrated by Leafs fans in delusion. They are physically incapable of giving him credit for anything because of the team he plays for. Their self fulfilling hatred of Leaf fans is more important than enjoying a fantastic player. Unless he leaves Toronto, then they will heap unending praise upon him and act life Leaf fans drove him away and the now trolls will turn into "I have always believed in him it was those dastardly Leaf fans fault again!"

In Buffalo they got a GM who lucked into a few guys that aren’t AHLers and proclaimed him god-emperor of mankind

Yea Leafs due to get them for sure but I feel like Bruins match up well with them.
