Matthews scoring 60 goals in 73 games while leading his team to second place in a division that featured the President trophy winner and 2-time defending Cup champions deserves the Hart

BACK TO BACK Rockets!

Best player in the NHL.

I’ve seen a lot of great Leaf seasons and this is right at the top.

Amazing listening to the “fan590” say he doesn’t deserve the Hart and goals aren’t that special. Despite the poisonous media, what Auston did this year, with 60 goals and a true 200 foot game, was awesome to watch.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

When will Matthews win his first Rocket?

He's obviously an elite goal-scorer and finished 1 shy of the leaders this past season. If they played the whole season, there's a strong argument that he could have won the Rocket. That being said, when will he win his first Richard? As early as next season? 2 seasons from now? When?

hard to believe the consensus on here just two years ago was that he'd never win a rocket

Huberdeau isn't even the most valuable player on his team.

Congrats AM34 best Leaf there has ever been.

Oilers fans explaining why anyone other than Connor McDavid winning the Hart for the next 20 years is a hate crime

Yeah, Oilers fans are in Complete disarray right now. All they keep talking about are all the secondary assists. It is pathetic.

Thanks Auston

Thanks Lou


The building block and the builder !!

On raw totals Matthews has a 9% cushion on # 2.

On proficiency (actual time played with SH removed), Matthews has a 24.5% cushion on number 2.

To help you visualize, that's like one guy showing up less than 4 days per week for work and the other showing up 5 days per week and the other guy still makes more widgets. And that's the closest guy.

The media just s Toronto though plus it’s a REALLY good story

 

[AvroArrow]

Greatest goal scorer of his generation, absolutely thrilled we get to call him a Leaf. Best player to have ever played for this franchise.

 

[fahad203]

Laine's better

 

[saffronleaf]

The best player in the world wins another Rocket. Many more to come.

 

[WillyC]

I can see Auston stringing together 7-8 consecutive Rockets… next year, he gets 70+ goals.

 

[RealisticLeaf55]

Draisaitl never had a chance.

The “legitimacy” of the Hart will be forever tainted if Matthews wins according to them lmao.
