Auston Matthews is now 0-7 in winner take all games in his career

[JFedol]

Aside from Ovi and Richard, Hull has some pretty bad numbers in game 7s, no?

27 of the other 31 clubs would love to get Matthews as their 1C.

For NHL and international, Auston Matthews has now lost all 7 matches he's played in where it's a do or die situation for both teams

2018 playoffs vs Boston (game 7)
2019 playoffs vs Boston (game 7)
2020 playoffs vs Columbus (game 5)
2021 playoffs vs Montreal (game 7)
2022 playoffs vs Tampa (game 7)
2024 playoffs vs Boston (game 7)
2025 four nations vs Canada (gold medal match)

He hasn't scored a goal in any of these 7 games either....it's becoming painfully obvious that Papi is the Harry Kane of the NHL

Yikes .

As a result of this thread, I had an interesting thought/question. Since it involves a poll, I created a poll in the poll section. You can access it here but I'm curious of peoples thoughts.

Who'd you rather be. Auston Matthews or Justin Williams?

As a result of the thread on Matthews in winner take all games, and the fact that he's 0-7 with atrocious stats, here's a question.

Who would you rather be? Auston Matthews or Justin Williams?

Keep in mind a couple of things. No doubt, we don't know how Matthews career will finish, as there are plenty of guys that were chokers until they weren't. I get that. There are also tons of guys who have multiple cups that are simply role players, which is why this isn't just about cups vs no cups, it's more about the big game aura element.

Auston Matthews - Likely HOF'er based on points...

to be fair, many love to poke fun at the leafs, prob the most hated team in the league,

well I dont know what to tell you, most of Leafs losses have been against teams that have gone to the cup final, most have been low scoring series. not sure how your suppose to rack up the points in low scoring series.

well more so once the greats were gone that have won, Im pretty sure Marino would be be taken over others that have also won like Farve for example.

its just logical. let's say there was a player like McDavid who exceeds Barkov and Eichel in Goals, Assists, Points and Awards but his team never made the playoffs in his career. he would finish in a higher tier than both of them No matter what their playoffs records would be.

also I dont really care what a few of you think sure Ill argue with you but your opinion means diddly to me it has no effect if I sleep or not at night,

I am one of those people who love to poke fun at the Leafs, but only because there's so many Leafs fans who think they are the chosen fanbase and automatically know more about hockey than everyone else and I find it amusing to try to knock them down a peg or two by picking apart their arguments with humor. It has nothing to do with the team, just the arrogant fans.

And, I know exactly how to rack up points in a low scoring series. It's a proprietary technique I developed called "don't let them stop you from scoring more". If any team is willing to sign a full NDA to keep my technique secret and pay me a million dollars per player, I'd happily teach a class during training camp.

Maybe you'd pick Marino above Favre, but that doesn't mean everyone would share your opinion. That's why it's your opinion, and not a fact.

And if a player could somehow manage to score more goals, assists, points, and awards than guys like Barkov and Eichel and still not drag his team to the playoffs even once, I'd be extremely impressed, but not in a good way. It'd be like a guy with 3 Richards and great regular season numbers not even being PPG in the playoffs.
