He didn't retire. He was playing for his hometown team last year. He was in the Olympics too.
I don't think he was ever considered as goal scorer.
In the draft they were talking about how he was a all around guy, not a dynamic goal scorer
but with a great two way game (Bob McKenzie), mix of Justin Williams and Anze Kopitar.
Boston picked him 25th in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft (at the time he was listed at 5 foot 10 and 170+ lbs)
- he was ranked from 22 to 35
Lets start from 2012
He went to play to Sweden, to develop more as a hockey player
played mostly in the J20 Super Elite for Södertälje.
36 games
12 goals
17 assists
29 points
+6
77 penalty minutes
2 goals, 2 assists, 4 points +2 and 10 penalty minutes in the play-offs
Also played in the AllsVenskan for 11 games, there he scored 2 goals and added 1 assist
In the SHL Q series in 5 games, didn't score any points (Södertälje were not promoted to the SHL and remained in the AlllSvenskan)
WJC-18 : 1 goal, 1 assist in 5 games
2013-2014 (his draft year)
Pasta played mostly in the AllSvenskan, scored 8 goals, 16 assists, 24 points in 36 games, was +7 and had 28 penalty minutes
12 games combined in the WJC-18 & WJC, scored 1 goal and 7 assists, 8 points.
Experts/analysts were praising his WJC games in Sweden, where he scored a goal and two assists in five games,
even though didn't score that much, he played really well, showed strong two way game.
2014-2015 (his first NA pro season)
Started the season from the AHL, scored 2 primary assists in his P-Bruins debut, scored 2 goals, 4 assists in first 4 games in A.
- all of his assists were primary.
Got his first call up in late November after scoring 4 goals, 14 assists in 18 games in the AHL
- played 5 games, 1 assist, ice time; 7:53, 17:02, 17:00, 15:34 and 13:37
Rest of the December he played in the AHL,, his last AHL games of his rookie season.
His pro debut in NA, in the AHL : 11 goals, 17 assists, 28 points in 25 games, he was +16. (76 sog)
He scored his first career goal in his 2nd game back, he ended up scoring 4 goals in 2 games,
then only once in his next 12 games.
His ice time varied; in his first 5 games back he averaged 16:30 per game, but next 7, 13:10 in average
then his ice time jumped, also his scoring; next 24 games, 6 goals, 15 assists, 21 points,
ended his rookie season with 5 games without a point.
NHL rookie season : 10 goals, 17 assists, 27 points in 46 games (93 sog)
(3 pp goals - 24 ev points )
2015-2016
He started his season from the NHL this time, his ice time continued to vary a lot, mostly bottom-6 role
but had every now and then good 15, 16, 17 minute games as well.
he lost number of games after thumb surgery, playing 51 games.
15 goals, 11 assists, 26 points, 108 sog, all of his points were scored 5 on 5
2016-2017 (the breakout #1 season)
He started his last ELC contract year with a bang, 3 game goal streak, 4 game point streak, he got a steady ice time from the get go
and stayed in the top 6 the entire season.
5 goals in his first 3 games. 15 shots on goal. Other than his late December 8 game pointless streak, Pasta scored goals and points
steadily through his 3rd season. His average ice time grew with almost 5 minutes per game. - it showed in production, also sog
34 goals (12 PP), 36 assists, 70 points with 263 sog in 75 games, huge difference from 93 and 108 sog seasons
His breakout season brought him a 6 year, 6.66 million dollar contract (that expires after this season and his new 11,25 mill contract kicks in)
2017-2018
His next season was a middle of the park kind of season, no production progression from previous season, but none of the other kind either
35 goals (13 PP), 80 points, with exact the same ice time what previous season, played his first play-offs games though,
- two strong seasons in a row, but no star level production yet. (had 30 less shots on goal what last season)
2018-2019
Pasta's average ice time increased by about 1,5 minutes per game, his sog count dropped slightly, but his s% increased with 3.
38 goals (17 PP), 81 points in 66 games, this was his first season when he led the Bruins in goals.
He had solidified himself as an 30+ goal and 70-80 point elite skater, next goal; star level
- had a strong 1,23 ppg season
Next season he had his second breakout season, where he became the star play player we all know,
but this season... he has gone beyond and become the best goal scorer in the NHL (AINEC)
He never really had a neck for scoring goals, but here we are, 60 goals, 109 points in a single season in the NHL,
when he was really never regarded as an serious offensive threat either..

he played last year--The Czeck, Swedish and Finisg leagues are pretty good---if he played here in the UK--then yeah--he retired but not in the league he played in
I'd like this post but whiners report all of my.posts and I lost likes. Matthews is still the best.goal scorer in the world. He's been hurt all year and still scored 40. Think about that. With one wrist effectively a noodle he has scored 40.. That's f***ing nuts. It's Matthews and it's never been close...
It amazes me how little respect he gets on HF. He's already won a rocket in 2020! This isn't a new thing.
He lost his son last offseason and had an off season with only 40 goals and a .ppg pace.
Ovechkin, Pastrnak share Rocket Richard Trophy as NHL goals leaders | NHL.com
Capitals captain wins award for ninth time after tying Bruins forward with 48www.nhl.com
And people are talking about him like this season is a fluke.lol
60 goals 2 seasons after winning a rocket.
McDavid is on a different level, he's not human. Pasta is not that but he will probably get a Hart nomination to add to his Rocket trophy...
View attachment 685042
Some even suggest he's being carried.. by who? He leads team in assists too and has a healthy 40 point lead on 2nd which is why I think he'll get a Hart nom. Best team in the regular season by a mile and he has a 40 point lead on second.
60 goals was enough to get Matthew's a Hart last season. This year you'd have to get 70 to even be considered for that after what McD is doing.
Seems like the best comeback is that he's not McDavid.. totally agree. He's firmly in the 2nd best player in the league talk this year though. Imagine 'not being McDavid' as a big insult.lol He is outpacing Matthews Hart and Rocket year. Holy hell was this place insufferable when Matthews won with 60 goals and 106 points. Pasta gets 60 goals and 109 points (2 games left) and he's not in Top 5 conversations.lol
100 goals in his last 2 seasons. Put some respect on the man's name!
I'll see myself out.
Draisaitl put up 32 points in 16 playoff games last season playing on a bummed ankle.. Were you singing his praises after this? No, you definitely weren't.
Id say that is AINEC type situation. I also fully admit I thought Vrana was the better prospect and that I definitely didn't see this coming. Now we need someone to become the next Hasek.lol

I don't dispute Matthews being the best goal scorer since he's entered the league, but saying a guy who debuted with a 4 goal game doesn't score in bunches is pretty funny stuff.
