Tribute Auston Matthews Discussion "the Beauty" Edition

[Legion34]

I’d expect it there, I’ve never seen it here.
I think some confuse criticism for hate.

there are posters with entire accounts dedicated to it.......

The only thing they post is that

The mainboards is where common sense and logic goes to die.

Yeah, have to agree. It is extremely bad there lol.

Honestly its pretty weird that Nylander and Tavare havent played with each other at 5v5 at this point

Yeah, I've wanted to see that line for a while. Tavares is a more well-rounded offensive player than Matthews, and Nylander is a better shooter than Marner (Although, his accuracy can leave you wanting more). So, it would be interesting to see if Tavares could unlock Willy's goalscoring ability. Marner's ability to create and capitalize by creating passing lanes would be very interesting with Matthews.

While Marner creates a lot more easy tap in situations, I'd say Nylander creates more more scrambles in front of the net that Tavares is elite at cleaning up. I think it'll also help as Tavares' skating slows down, having someone to run the transition for him and let him set up in the offensive zone.

Fun little thing I noticed.

At 5v5, since 2017-2018...

Matthews ranks 4th in the league in points per 60, behind McDavid, Kucherov, and Marchand. All of those players have significantly better linemates.
Matthews ranks 1st in the league in primary points per 60, ahead of McDavid.
Matthews ranks 1st in the league in goals per 60.

Pretty good for a lazy bum.

what about. Angry face/60. Or skating stride/60?

No heart lazy american has to be at the bottom of the league in those right?

 

[Dekes For Days]

what about. Angry face/60.

Sure seems to be leading in goalcheers/60 and happyface/60 lately.

This thread sure got quiet fast...

 

[34]

I can’t hear you LOL !

I have been calling it for a few months now, that Auston Matthews was going to take the NHL over! Matthews is that good! He is in the same conversation as McDavid.

He's not, but he doesn't have to be when we have Tavares, Marner and Nylander.

 

[Future]

Matthews and Marner are reminding people why Dubas paid them 11 million per.

The consistency will come for these guys. They’re too good not to figure it out.

 

[Merrrlin]

That was one hell of a pass

 

[HamiltonNHL]

I approve of this 8-6 win.

 

[Morbo]

well he's on right now that's for sure.

avoid any lengthy slumps and 50 goals remains very gettable.

 

[Havoc]

Marner deserves a beauty thread too.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

The pass

 

[likecheese]

The pass

That pass (and the whole play leading up to it) should be preserved underground.

 

[BAM]

Auston Evgeni Malkin Matthews at it again with another 2 point game. 9 points in his last 4 games.

 

[kevsh]

The pass

Right after play-by-play guy says that Carolina is 15-o with a lead going into the 3rd period and that the Leafs will have to score 7 to win ... Matthews decides he'd better do something about that.

 

[stickty111]

We had people wanting to trade him?
Good on Dubas to not listen.

 

[Merrrlin]

The pass

I love that Marner walked by Svechnikov on the go ahead.

Svech was acting like a punk all game.

 

[Dekes For Days]

Auston "not-a-good-playmaker" Matthews, ladies and gentlemen.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Auston "not-a-good-playmaker" Matthews, ladies and gentlemen.

Awesome.

 

[Nooodles]

He's been amazing lately.

You know you have something special when this kid was always known of his scoring abilities, a pure goal scorer, yet he just managed to put up one of the best assist of the decade from a Leaf.

 

[BertCorbeau]

He looks rejuvenated like he's enjoying playing the game again under Keefe .. He and Marner are starting to show what they can do together. 2020 could get fun.
