How many 60 goal seasons will Auston Matthews put up in his career?

[authentic]

Imagine if Matthews had 453 minutes on the PP instead of 225.

Full health and powerplay time would be 75 goals maybe even 80. There wouldn’t be discussion about who’s the best player anymore.

This season doesn't count because scoring is up

ooh, doubling down on the cringe! Big yikes

 

[Felidae]

Not if they lose first round and shake things up amongst the forwards. If Marner isn’t on his line he doesn’t sniff 60 again.

Funny line of reasoning coming from a fan of a team with McDavid and Draisatl playing together.

You guys are lagging up the site with your salt. Rust is forming

ooh, doubling down on the cringe! Big yikes

Marner carries him anyway

Marner carries him anyway

ok ok, now you're not even trying!

You can also buy yourself some Rust, he's a free man after the season

Stamkos score 60 in 82, Matthews did it in 73.

It is a higher scoring year then when Ovi did it, but only 14 goals per team (on average). Ovi also played 82 games, to Matthews 73.


It would be nice if one thread for a massive milestone didn't have people trying to take things away or talk about what's more impressive. Sometimes it's ok to say congrats and leave it at that.

He also did it quicker than Ovi.

Ovi got his 60th in his 76th game Matthews did it in 73, while Stamkos needed all 82. If AM played every game this season he would've likely would have hit 66+

A lot of people in here need to stfu.

Just enjoy seeing another 60 goal season!

Do you watch hockey? They haven’t played together in like 2 years. But yeah i guess the PP counts?

I just wish Toronto fans had the same reasoning and energy when they discredited McDrai playing together for 2 years like they do now but nah, can’t expect reason when talking hockey with Toronto fans.

I was gonna sarcasm away with adjusted goals.
But turns out Matthews had > 60 adjusted goals last season.

Congrats to him, I'm out of sarcastic ammos. He's officially an Era-Adjusted 60 goal scorer. And a "real world" (whatever that is) goal scorer this season. + all the paces in the world.

Now, I can truly enjoy him except when the Habs play him or when he makes the Leafs win

30% or more of their time is not nothing.

 

[Wendelstache]

60 Goals with Elite 2 way play - MVP.

 

[Maria Sharapova]

People always held to the fact it was always just on pace it was the only way they could discredit a leafs stud. Nothing to say now other than Marner carries him Look he just dropped 60 missing 8+ games. Would have had 60 the last 2 years if not for a pandemic.

 

[D Wakaluk]

With a regular season like this he might double his playoff goals from last year and actually score twice

No teams today get that many powerplay minutes to distribute that much ice time.

At least once in his career.

Wouldn’t shock me if he did it again with scoring going up

 

[Nemesis Prime]

Depends on how much Montreal, Ottawa, Buffalo and Detroit improve.

 

[5 Minute Major]

Depends on how much Montreal, Ottawa, Buffalo and Detroit improve.

Matthews had 1 goal and 1 assist in 4 games against Buffalo this season.

 

[I Hart Conor Garland]

A true legend would score 11 and pass to a teammate on an open net breakaway with 12 seconds remaining in the final game of the season.


And then change his jersey number to 69.

What’s so legendary about jersey number 69?

 

[Connor McConnor]

30% or more of their time is not nothing.

It's 20% at ES which is not much at all. Again, you didn't disprove a single point I made.

Leaf fans told me McDrai playing together was the #1 reason both put up massive points. They get separated and basically put up the same production.

AM has 2 consecutive career years playing with Marner but nah, don't you dare use the same argument against us!

I've regularly said I think AM > Drai, I just want you guys to bring the same energy when talking about AM. He's an exceptional player who is being boosted by playing with Marner.

He's not on McDavid's level. Sorry.

Only 20 players have ever scored 60 goals in an NHL season, with 8 players achieving the feat multiple times. It's been done just 39 times in total.

Notably, Alexander Ovechkin, considered by many to be the greatest goal scorer of all time has only done it once.

Is this a fluke season for Auston Matthews where the stars aligned and everything went right, or can we expect him to put up these sorts of numbers going into the future? How many times do you think he will hit that legendary 60 goal marker in his career? How high does he make it up the list?

60 Goal Scorers:
(x5) Wayne Gretzky (81-82, 82-83, 83-84, 84-85, 86-87)
(x5) Mike Bossy (78-79, 80-81, 81-82, 82-83, 85-86)

these types of questions boggle the mind



what kind of research did this require and.... why

on top of that, you'd need a crystal ball to say how many 60 goal seasons Austin Matthews will score between now and say, the year 2040


lol how do you guys conjure this stuff up
