Matthews has 44g in his last 46 games. Can he hit 50 in 50? (Update: YES HE CAN!!)

[saffronleaf]

I know it's not the true 50 in 50 that's recognized by the league (50 goals in the team's first 50 games) or even the sometimes unofficially recognized one (50 goals in player's first 50 games), but this is still an incredible feat if he can do it.

I say he does it.

 

[Apotheosis]

I honestly think he's due for another Detroit game night where he gets like 6 points (3 goals 3 assists) so I think he can do it.

If ya think AUSTON 4-16 is gonna score 50 in 50

Just made me realize Bunting should be forced to wear #3. Seriously. Every time Matthews scores fed by his linemates would be Matthews 3 - 16.

I mean it's doable. Either way it's pretty f***ing insane and awesome

 

[zeke]

He just doesn't care about racking up points against crappy teams like mcdrai do.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

These two were beauts

 

[diehardleafsfan9878]

He's going for 50 in 50

 

[TGB]

Hell, he might even make a play for 70. At this rate he'll be at 60 before we hit the remaining 10 games mark.

love this

 

[Le Cobra]

can he reach Brett Hull's 80+ goals

honestly I think Auston can reach 60 by the end of the season

 

[Teeder Keon]

Why not
GLG

 

[zeke]

can he reach Brett Hull's 80+ goals

If the league starts giving the Leafs a good amount of PPs at some point, yep.

47 in 47

47 in 47

 

[Morbo]

he's gonna score 60 goals on a team that is DEAD LAST in powerplay minutes.

unbelievable.

 

[stickty111]

Still doesn't get enough credit on how good he is

 

[meefer]

I did not see this. Goals, yes...defensive quality, no. His regular season contributions have been off the charts. The playoffs, we'll see. And, I'm wishing him and Mitch the best.

 

[WillyC]

Auston Matthews ever leaving this Mecca of Hockey just seems so ridiculous as he establishes his Greatness here in Toronto… in 2 years, he’ll just be getting started.

He’s going to score 50-70 goals every year for the next 10-12 years for the Leafs.

 

[Contenderorpretender]

71 in his last 82

 

[Mess]

Auston is scoring at a Mike Bossy like pace.

 

[Darth Menace]

I hope I'm wrong but I don't see 60 this year. I have nothing to base that on and he would have to go on a huge slump. Maybe that's just me as a negative Leafs fan that has dealt with sadness and upset my whole life wearing the white and blue
