Auston Matthews (Captain Edition)

[TMLBlueandWhite]

Matthews has more goals so far than Ovechkin did after the same number of games.

Does anyone really expect Matthews to beat what will soon be Ovechkin's goal record. Maybe if he could stay healthy. Even then it's still hard to imagine.

Matthews doesn't have the tenacity of Ovechkin.

I remember when Ovechkin came into the league. He was easily my favourite player. He played with an edge and scored goals at will.

When the Leafs drafted Matthews I foolishly hoped for the same.

All these years later and it's clear what they've got. A great goal scorer with soft hands and soft everything else. I was too young to appreciate when Gretzky broke Howe's record but I'll always remember seeing Ovechkin break Gretzky's record.

It'd be awesome to see Matthews do the same as a Leafs player one day.

No, and that's fine.

Appreciate what you have.

 

[TMLBlueandWhite]

No, and that's fine.

Appreciate what you have.

Because fans hoping and dreaming to see a Leafs player break the goals record is a bad thing now?

Appreciate what we have. Because it's better than what we had. Even though it's still not good enough.

I wish my standards were that low.

Matthews on pace to score 400 goals in less games than Ovi

Alex Ovechkin becomes sixth fastest player to score 400 goals

Alex Ovechkin scored his 400th career goal on Friday, and became the sixth-fastest player to reach that milestone in NHL history. Player Games to 400 Wayne Gretzky 436 Mike Bossy 506 Mario Lemieux 508 Brett Hull 520 Jari Kurri 608 Alex Ovechkin 634 The feat is even more notable...

Mathews was a no show till the 3rd period.
Iam really getting tired of his lazy ass , if this is what we are going to get in the playoffs we are going know where.i for one am glad that he signed for 4 yrs.
On his next contract would rather sign 2 players for 7 or 8 mil, maybe we can find another Knies

He has been one of the top players in the league sonce Jan 1.

He leads the Leafs and is only a couple points behind Mack.

The first half of the season was awful. The second half has been pretty damn good.

Lol.

Like all of the Leafs, he needs to have a big playoffs.

He has been much better since he came back the second time. All for nothing if he doesn't find a way to put up some points in the playoffs

We need more 5 on 5 scoring the 2nd line is doing great and Knies is doing his best.

Matthews dodged a bullet last night when he thought it would be a good idea to get mixed up with Sean Kuraly. Kuraly as you know is a guy who isnt very shy about dropping the mitts, and is pretty good at what comes after. Thank goodness Mitch showed up and sent Kuraly to his own bench with a bit of a crosscheck.

5 on 5 iam taking about right now our PP is on fire but in the playoffs teams find your weakness start blocking everything.
