Matthews Goal Total 24/25?

[notDatsyuk]

Thread title says 24/25 so ...

If he ends the season with 24 or 25, expect a lynch mob to appear at your front door.

So a historically bad year for him?

 

[BallardEra]

9 goals away from 400 on his career with 18 games left this season.

30 goals is going to feel like 70 this year and he hits 29.

What an awful season, hope this is just a terrible blip and not a sign of premature decline.

I know people here like to slobber over goals but Im happy Matthews play making is up and his overall production has him at 94 pts per 82 vs ~108 per 82 last year, only down 14 pts per 82 which was mostly due to being a bit banged up/hurt first 20 games of the year.

He has not had a major decline as a pt producer, and is evolving for the better.

If he could get 40-45Gs and 60-70A a year he'd finally become the franchise 1C who is more likely to consistently produce come playoffs time.

Hoping Matthews goal scoring rebounds a bit but his ability to make nice passes, draw defenses and find open/trailing mans, and be able to thread cross ice seams/needle tough coverage zones continues to improve.

I dont want to see 65G and 35A matthews again.

40G and 70A would be him having reinvented himself to a guy who will carry us far come playoffs.

Pure 1-D goal scorers often go ghost come playoffs and fall hard (OV from 2011 to 2017, Kovalchuk, Heatley, Iginla, etc as some examples). A Dominant dual (but more focuses/tilted to playmaking) center/winger end up dominating the playoffs more often (Mack, Kuch, Drai, Crosby, McD)

At this rate he'll be lucky to get 30.
