Auston Matthews is one of the worst even-strength scorers in the entire league

[Martin Skoula]

36 goals would be disappointing for him, when OV potted 32 in 2011 after peaking hard, people claimed he was done and washed out on here, hfboards did not give him a pass.

If Matthews doesn't pot 40 this year expect the same rhetoric.

I personally still think he's going to go on a tear midway through the season, 82 games is a lot.

Ovi had a direct cause for his drop in Dale Hunter too, Matthews has nothing visibly wrong with his game to explain his abnormally low shooting %.

Thanks for the reverse jynx thread

Remember when there was a thread last season when Hyman had more goals than Matthews, Marner, Nylander and Tavares combined after 15 game then Matthews proceeded to score 50 in his next 50…. Ya, the north remembers

The north remembers? Do explain to us what you mean by this.

It's just you. He looks exactly the same.
