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

If Auston keeps up his shooting %, he will be unstoppable in the playoffs. How are teams going to stop him come playoff time?

 

[Dust]

I think he gets 75. At this point 80 isn't out of reach.

Congratulations to Matthews thus far on an amazing goal-scoring season.

 

[PromisedLand]

I’m more surprised he has 3 of the top 5 on that last than this season being #2

Look at the Hart Odds how they changed within just a handful of games lol

How many of those 50 goals had Marner with the primary assist?

Less than half

 

[EXTRAS]

only 3 players have put up 80 goals in a season: lemeiux gretzky hull

Only 3 players have put up 100 assists in a season: lemieux orr gretzky

And we have an outside chance to see mcdavid put up 100 assists and matthews put up 80 goals in the same season. Pretty special.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Less than half

That’s impressive.

50 in 54 in this era is infinitely more impressive than 50 in 50 in the crappy goaltending era.

Matthews cementing himself as the GOAT goalscorer

Look at the Hart Odds how they changed within just a handful of games lol

He's the favorite right now, I don't think its even close right now tbh.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

And people say this guy isn’t worth $13.25M beginning next year.

People mentioning the playoffs when Matthews gets no help by his teammates is quite hilarious.

Ovechkin never passed the 2nd round till his 30's. Crosby depended on Malkin, McDavid hasn't won anything, etc.

 

[Satire]

Matthews is this generation's Ovi for sure. Great for the sport in general to see him succeed. I'd say baring catastrophe he has a 70 goal season in the bag at this point. Very impressive stuff.

 

[snag]

Amazing player. Wish he could do more in playoffs.

No....he is good just the way he is

It is close, I still pick MacKinnon for the Hart. MacKinnon has been a freak this year.

Matthews is the favorite for the Hart. He may win his second one Like this.

 

[Fight4yourRight]

MacKinnon and Kucherov are on pace for 130+ points each. Kucherov likely scores 50 goals. They’re already 20 pts ahead of Matthews. It will be close.

It will be close , but goals > assists.

That would be incredible. I think he gets 70, the schedule ahead is not easy and teams are gearing up for the playoffs, but anything short of that does not seem likely at this point.

It is close, I still pick MacKinnon for the Hart. MacKinnon has been a freak this year.

If I had to put my money on someone it would be mcdavid. He has 24 points In his past 9.5 games and it only 10 back of kucherov for the lead, with 5 games in hand.

 

[Incognito]

The crazy thing is that due to Covid, this is only his second 50 goal season. In a timeline with no pandemic, he would have just clinched his fourth 50 goal season and he'd likely be closing in on his third 60 goal campaign right now.

 

[Video Nasty]

It is close, I still pick MacKinnon for the Hart. MacKinnon has been a freak this year.

MacKinnon has been cooling off over the past 9 games. If it continues for the next 9 games in this fashion, Matthews will replace him as the finalist.

21%? The guy already has 3 seasons shooting well over 18%, this usually some absurd anomaly.

 

[OVO16]

Lol crazy thing is none of the goals are empty netters

 

[authentic]

Lol looks like 51
