Man if even half of those went in he would have hit 80, what beast!!

Generationally inaccurate

If at least half of his goals were saved, he’d be a 30 goal scorer. People need to stop with the what ifs.

 

[DitchMarner]

Ugh... he needed just two more cross bars to finish ahead of Stamkos and Rantanen for most crossbars hit. That's the big stat. It's why we watch.


But seriously, yes, he's good at shooting. I'm not surprised he had so many close calls.

2022-2023?

 

[Filthy Dangles]

His teammates dont bury his high-danger passes either.

 

[Crow]

If you hit the post and it goes in, is that a hit post and a goal or just a goal?

Kind of curious how often a player hits a post and it goes in versus how many times they hit a post and it does not.

 

[I know]

But can he play D?

Hyman is terrible and single-handedly tanked 34's assist totals. The plug will never score goals in this league.

Yet another major award for Captain Underpants, don’t know how he does it

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Is there any argument at this point against him being the greatest player of all time?

 

[FriendlyGhost92]

I call bullshit. I watched all those Red Wings games in 23-24 and Alex Debrincat hit more posts in the last quarter of the season than Matthews did all year.

 

[BLNY]

Banalytics.

What’s that saying about if one’s grandmother had nuts?

 

[The Hockey Tonk Man]

Woulda thought someone would hit more than 20 posts/per season. No?

Player ? We are well passed that stage. He's in contention for greatest human of all time

 

[Coffees]

@Filthy Dangles

 

[FrozenJagrt]

Wonderful. Now some Leafs fans will use that to argue he's a 70 goal scorer.

 

[Oddbob]

If my aunt had balls, she'd be my uncle.

And if your grandma had wheels, she'd be a bike.

Post/crossbar... Also known as a miss.

Man if even half of those went in he would have hit 80, what beast!!

Yeah and if 20 of the 69 goals he scored missed instead, he'd have 49 goals.

 

[Golden_Jet]

thread title and post 1 don’t align

 

[Hale The Villain]

Best regular season goal scorer of his generation

 

[Rorschach]

I mean what does this say even? Maybe he is a bad shooter, accuracy-wise so he hits the post a lot?
