Auston Matthews 69 goals in 81 games, most goals scored since Lemieux in 1995-96

[KaN19]

70 goals is an automatic Hart win, sorry Kuch, Mack and McDavid fans.

 

[Schennanigans]

This is just stupid how good he is.

 

[cyris]

Haberdasheries in Toronto just love this guy

Fun fact. The tradition of throwing hats on to the ice for a hat trick was started accidentally by a haberdasher in Toronto.
He offered a free hat to anyone that had a ticket if anyone scored 3 goals during a particular game. So when it happened a bunch of people threw their hats on the ice because they knew they would be getting a new one for free.

 

[hockeykicker]

friedman did that one on purpose with the name order

 

[Raging Bull]

5 points this night too

 

[cyris]

Sorry Leafs fans, it's the Ducks, his hat trick has been pro rated to 1.25 goals, still 1.75 goals to go

I mean with the way this game is going he may get there.

If he scores 70, he wins the Hart. It’s like when Judge beat Ohtani for the MVP a couple years ago. You score that many goals/hit that many HR’s, you win.

He is winning the Rocket, Hart and Ted Lindsay.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

This guy is out of his goddamn mind

Also I said he was getting another hatty in the general GDT

Indeed! Glad someone was able to pick up on my historical reference, hats off (pardon the pun) to your hockey knowledge

The way this game is going tonight against Anaheim he might hit 50 tonight

 

[JukofYork]

I think Mathews is going to score 80 goals this season.

yeah I mean this basically happened when he won the Hart. He was like 20 points behind McDavid but scored 60 for the first time in forever and won it. If he hits 70 it'll be the same thing.

 

[Straight Fire]

I'm scared

 

[eviohh26]

Jebus. Someone stop this mad man.

 

[SI90]

So f***ing insane. Such a monster. American sniper.

 

[DopeyFish]

auston matthews with 2 back to back hat tricks this year is the first time since wayne gretzky in 83-84

 

[BusQuets]

it's weird how he has became pure goal scorer. Not so great at other stuff though.

 

[Incognito]

Matthews is pacing for 75 goals currently, which is getting into Selanne/Mogilny of 1992-1993 territory.

That's the thing, he is. Very good defensively.

What are you talking about? This Anaheim team just humiliated the waltzing Ottawa Senators 5-1 last game

 

[sxvnert]

Hatty #6

 

[Mr Positive]

This is an amazing stretch for Matthews

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Papi is out of his mind

He's a good back checker, decent passer ..he steals pucks from guys like none other.
