David Pastrnak or Auston Matthews?

[c9777666]

Every year there is a guy who unexpectedly steps up, this year it' Pasternak. This is just a byproduct of that series and how poorly the Leafs are playing. Throw Pasternak into the Vegas/LA series and see how his stats look.

Pastrnak/Neal/Karlsson/Tatar would be fun.

 

[Lights911]

Both players are great but I went with Matthews

thanks for supporting your argument

That’s only convenient when it benefits leafs fans.

Really? All those Laine polls seem to go Matthews way as well.

 

[nickdawg95]

pasta is the goat

 

[Ainec]

not really fair since Pastanark is having a easier goalie to shoot against.

i take andersen over rask

leafs giving neutral zone and cant win puck battles

 

[oooooooooohCanada]

Pastarnak easily. Matthews is a floater. Hes been invisible these playoffs same with last. Leafs will never get past the first or second round with Matthews as their best player hes invisible and bad defensively

lmao

not saying Anderson is worse then Rask , it's like the time when Luongo is facing a goalie he is better then but he (Luongo) ends up being the goalie that is struggling or playing poorly at the wrong time. Kinda like what Andersen is going through, is what I meant.

 

[Evincar]

Pasta is amazing but it’s Matthews and it’s not a hard choice to make. Dumb poll.

Imagine what Matthews could do riding with Marchand and Bergeron

Imagine what Pasta could do on Toronto, the next dynasty compared to playing on an old and slow Bruins team.

He was pacing for about 85 points with 45 goals having ungodly bad powerplay luck.

And great ES luck. His pace overall was probably accurate for where he currently is an offensive player.

 

[BlueBaron]

Pasta is a great, but this is such a reactionary poll.
Matthews is the better player

Opportunistic might be a better phrase. The OP hates the Leafs and spends an unhealthy amount of time trying to come up with polls we'll lose.

Sad but true.

 

[Hockeyholic]

I'd be interested to see the results of a Pastrnak vs Marner poll.

 

[6ix]

If the leafs traded Matthews for Pastrnak I would stop watching hockey and only follow the Raptors.

 

[Paul4587]

2 games doesn’t change that this is easily Matthews.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Not a fair comparison. Pasta has more NHL games than Matthews.

 

[Karl Eriksson]

Pasta. Regular season stats are similar and he's shown himself to be a gamer in the playoffs. Matthews should aspire to be what Pasta is .

 

[Kuhta]

Matthews´dismal play in the playoffs is the deciding factor here.

 

[DaPhazz]

Hard to go against Pasta due to timing.

He's probably the most talked about hockey player in the world right now.

 

[NyQuil]

Matthews.

 

[Namikaze Minato]

If you made a line of:
Marchand-Bergeron-Matthews
Chara-Mcavoy

and had them play against:
Hyman-Nylander-Pasta
Rielly-Hainsey

Which line improves more? Which would you pick to win?
Who scores more, Pasta or Matthews?

Yah. I'll take matthews too.

 

[tapi]

Pastrnak has been on a lucky streak but it's very unsustainable. Matthews is way out of his league

 

[Critical13]

Matthews´dismal play in the playoffs is the deciding factor here.

Yikes

 

[VoluntaryDom]

how is it stupid?

its comparing 2 ppg forwards. i fail to understand why leafs fans get so defensive when their players are compared to others

A two way center playing with sub-optimal linemate (Hyman) vs a scoring winger playing with two star players.

Yeah it’s Matthews ainec

 

[Tad Mikowsky]

I still think Matthews will be the better player, but he isn't producing in these playoffs.

I mean he's a generational talent, equal to Malkin right?
