Hes going to break Ovechkins gosl scoring record in 10 years

3rd richard by year 8. Insane goal scorwr

If his shoulders and wrists hold up, Matthews vary well could. That is a huge part of what makes Ovechkin's chase so special. You have to stay healthy for over a decade+ as you consistently score goals.

Best in the business…

I hope he gets it tonight.

Also he now has set a new career high in points so now he's officially at a higher level than he did when he won the Hart.

He also has 20 posts including 1 tonight.

If even 50% of those posts are goals he's at a goal per game.

This year could have been even craizer

Absolutely. Look at Mike Bossy.

Most GPG, but not most goals per career.

I'm just going to enjoy what I'm watching here.

Out in the first round? Yeah, that sucks.

Watching Matthews play for your team? Pretty sweet.

We deserve him for all the pain and suffering we've been through since '67 even though I haven't been around for half the time

If he hits 70 give him the hart. 70 is insane

Good chance he wins the Hart.

 

[Nathaniel Skywalker]

Good chance he wins the Hart.

2 harts 3 richards at 26 is pretty slick

 

[LivingRentFree]

And the Leafs still won’t win the Cup.

We appreciate your riveting prediction. You can say that about 30 other teams too.

if he had any self respect he wouldn't take another shot after he potted 69

Nah he can say that about the Leafs.

True fans have reeeeeeal thick skin and kinda know it's just never gonna happen.

But we keep coming back, I take a bit of pride in that.

Think of the Cubs drought!

 

[Faceboner]

I remember when he came into the league a lot of the comparisons being made were to Kopitar. And those appear to be coming true, except he can also score 70 goals. Insane.

I really think we might be in the middle of the best era in hockey history.

2nd golden era there such a plethora of skill and talent now.

Papi is a bad man.

That's the post.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

You gotta love to see it!

 

[Kiorei]

70 tonight please. Best in the game.

You're only experiencing pain and suffering because you've chosen to let a pro sports team have way too much effect on your life.

Its called passion

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

May as well get #70 tonight so Matthews can rest for the playoffs.

Triple shift him if you have to.

 

[The Podium]

He’s going to get 70 3 on 3 and it’s going to become a thing around here

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Stop the count!
