He's put himself in a special position this year. Hope he keeps rolling and sweeps the awards.

I don't remember exactly but I thought he spotted the field like a 9 goal head start before he even started scoring?

Matthews had 1 goal in his first 6 games, so if my Casio calculator/watch is correct, that's 42 in 48 since then or a 0.875 GpG rate.
Over 82 games, that would be 71 (rounded down).

On November 24, Draisaitl hit the 20 goal mark. Matthews scored his 8th goal that same night....and that was the first night of his current 36 goals in 37 games streak.

If it isn’t drilled into our heads every hour then we obviously will forget it
We wouldn't want that to happen !Thornton never once had a playoff run over a point per game.

Don't really need to count these non EN numbers because Matthews is in a prime position to catch up to and surpass all these guys in raw points.

F*ck cancer - RIP Fugu and Buffaloed
Matthews' seemingly has gotten that "hat trick" monkey off his back this season .. He only had 1 in his first three seasons despite all of the goals (and 2-goal games) .. and then one each in the previous two seasons... but he has 3 this year .. doubling his career total

I posted in a thread back in October that he'll likely hit 40-45 this season due to his slow start/recovering from surgery. I didn't expect a monster season
Turns out he hit it in 52 games lol

Matthews might score 50 in 50. Although it's not to start the season, that's absolutely insane. Just his current run is unbelievable.

We need a power winger to run with Matthews so if anyone takes liberties, well, they won't. There's no way a guy like Dahlin or Cozens can be allowed to cross check and hit the franchise in open ice.

I would love to see a Tom Wilson pitchforking another team's John Tavares. I would love to see Tom Wilson on the Leafs pitchforking John Tavares on another team, come to think of it.
I'm glad Matthews didn't hold back on that crosscheck though.

Probably going to get suspended 20 games or something like that, knowing the NHL DoPS. Just to make sure he doesn't hit 50g.
Matthews should have realized that he's going to get suspended and taken the opportunity to whack Dahlin's hideous face a few more times.

That would be pretty Leafy if he was suspended and hurt vs Buffalo.

I keep mentioning it in the GDT but funnily we need a Brendan Shannahan style of player for the top six.

Bunting has been doing his best to have Auston's back.
As for Matthews himself, I'm not sure if he'll ever not score again.
He's an absolute machine and scores every which way.
If he were to be given even a modicum of penalty kill time, he'd be a shoe-in for a Selke along with the Hart, Rocket and perhaps, Art Ross.

Maybe I watched too much Wendel Clark/Tie Domi/Gary Roberts/Darcy Tucker in my younger days but I just find it distasteful when your star players are on the receiving end of fake tough guy nonsense. Ideally we have a big intimidating sheriff that gives it back to Dahlin and Cozens twice as bad as they dished out.
Bunting did great, but he's a little fella.
