50 Goals in 50 Games
Or
100 points in 56 games

If Matthews wasn’t injured he was on pace to meet 50 goals in 50 games.

Mcdavid might eclipse 100 points in this shortened season.

Really depends on both the goal & point totals of each, so I have to say 100 points.

But 30g 100pts = 50g 80pts roughly

Given Matthews is better defensively he could get slightly less than that total.

Edit: I thought it was 50 goals in this 56 game season, that's a close call; I'd give the edge to 100 points still though.

50 in 50. It's only been done 8 times by 5 different guys.

If Matthews ever starts feasting on the PP like McDavid does then he could possibly do both as crazy as it sounds.

Matthews won't ever hit 50 in 50 just like Mcdavid won't ever hit 100 in 56 outside of this year. And 100 in 56 for Matthews is simply impossible due to him not being an elite playmaker. He would need 50 assists in 56 games to get to 100, which is better than he has ever gotten.

Matthews is probably the only guy who can get 35ish goals in 50 in a proper season with the conference play, while McDavid will be around 80ish pts in 50 in a full season. Matthews should be getting 55-60 goals and 105-110 points while McDavid about 125-130 points

Neither of these guys will be challenging/hitting these type of production levels once the league readjust from interdivisional play
 
The Rocket scored 50 in 50. Everyone knew that.

Who remembers the first 100 point player?
 
Looking up quickly on Google...

only 91 players have scored 50 or more goals in a season since the NHL began play in 1917, and fewer than half of those have done it more than once. Matthews and Pastrnak would have joined the list as numbers 92 and 93.

As for points... and only up to 17-18 season...

109 players
As of the completion of the 2017–18 regular season, 109 ice hockey players in the National Hockey League (NHL) have scored at least 100 points in a single NHL regular season.

Not sure how accurate but it would seem scoring 50 is more impressive.

How could you be so confident about that seeing as how Matthews hit these totals with a significant wrist injury?
 
The shitty thing is McDavid is actually going to do it, or atleast come extremely close. I think Matthews would've had a chance but next full season he probably goes over 60 health permitted.

Everyone knows that's Esposito, no?

Regardless, I guess you are siding with the 50 in 50, and it's a fair point, because in the end, goal scoring is just rarer to do well on a consistent basis, any era, full stop. It's why Ovie's accomplishments are so amazing as we watch him try and break the ultimate record.

Matthews has a great chance to be on that all time great goal scoring list one day, but he'll have to keep on doing what he's doing for quite some time . . . either way, he's ours, and that's awesome.

50 goals in 50 isn't feasible for a player in an 82 game season with normal divisions, conferences. Matthews is having a career year from a goal-scoring pacing perspective and is on pace for 66 goals. He would need to raise his goal-scoring pace by 16 goals. He is shooting a career-best (tied) 18.2% with a career-best OISH% of 13.5. I can see him keeping those paces up due to him being a game-breaking and elite player, but I don't see him improving on them and becoming a 82 goal scorer.

He will be a 55-65 goal scorer the next 5 years, and probably take 4 or 5 rockets after this season, being the undisputed best goal scorer in the game. No player will ever hit 50 in 50 ever in the NHL with the proper format and no player will hit 100pts in 56 in the normal format either.

I meant the totals he's having now. He wouldn't have had 50 in 50 this season, but could've come close to 50 in 56.
 
I feel like 100 points is more glamorous. When Matthews and Marner hit that total it’s going to really round out their resumes.
