Auston Matthews back to back hat tricks

[Regal]

Jerk ruins the 17-18 club

Wait until he starts playing American teams.

Ah yes, how could I forget about the beautiful province of Minnesota.

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

To be fair, Matthews did light up Ottawa for 4. Unfortunately we have to wait until Ottawa is out of the playoff race until the Leafs play Ottawa.

How many hat tricks does he have in the playoffs? I forgot, please remind me.

That was the argument for a year during the Canadian division. Matthews can only score against Canadian teams. I thought everyone would've remembered.

Evidently not.

First one to break the 17-18 trend breaks Gretzky’s 92 goal record, you heard it here first

 

[Strangle]

HFboards, everybody

I think this is the season Matthews shuts up alot of the haters. Good for him and fun to watch a big skilled hockey player do his thing.

Scoring goes down in the playoffs.

I wouldn't expect Ottawa to know what the playoffs is like. Not a single player on your team has played in the playoffs with the Sens.

 

[authentic]

on pace for 82 hat tricks

Only counts if he does it in his first 82 games though

Sorry, I somehow missed the implied "/s" on there. My bad. And thankfully he destroyed that ridiculous argument the following season.

HIS scoring goes down in the playoffs, correct.

What we need are Stutzle's playoff stats. That'll show Matthews.

Broke the curse.

Is the bar for trying hard that low in Toronto? Explains the playoff woes...

 

[MardyBum]

He's going to score 70, and the Leafs are going to go out in the 1st round, and it will never stop being funny.

 

[Divine]

He still leads the Leafs in playoff scoring.

Scored 2 goals down 4-1 to help the Leafs comeback and beat the Lightning. Scored the only Leafs regulation goal in Game 6 to take it to OT and eliminate Tampa.

How many points do Stutzle/Tkachuk/Chabot/Sanderson/Norris have combined in the playoffs? You're throwing stones from the the homeless shelter.

 

[kranuck]

He's going to score more goals himself than the Canucks will this season

The Canucks are averaging 8 goals a game.

 

[kranuck]

These type of takes are also very cringe - he's playing hockey in April the same way he does for the 82 games that precede the playoffs; he doesn't just magically forget how to play hockey. He'll have his time - I remember people saying this exact same type of nonsense about Crosby, Malkin, Ovechkin and Stamkos (To name a few) not too long ago.

Until he does it the mocking will continue.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Smart to run away from the Brodin/Faber pairing.

Happen to miss last season?

Faber was really impressive all night. Didn't look like a rookie.

It'll be hilarious to keep watching you guys be a treadmill team and then get relocated again

Did he score 70 last season Mr. Baghead?

Take off your shoes and your bag, I'll wait.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Crazy how underrated Matthews is.

Two insane goal scoring years that would have been 60+ back to back in 82 games.

One down year last season and people were saying he wasn't close to Ovechkin lol.

And in That "down year" he still got 40
