Matthews

 

[leafman101]

Thats insane. Backhander from the goallne facing the wrong way.

 

[CRL]

HE DID IT AGAIN!

 

[WellPlayed]

That backhand was just stupid.

 

[Bleedsblue&white]

Matthews saves the day.

 

[Jeremy]

46 goal pace. Crazy.

 

[Deckie007]

Cheeky backhand there. Love it.

Also Brown does a lot of good stuff on the ice. Killer backcheck there to kill the scoring chance before the goal.

 

[leafman101]

Not the prettiest game, but if you can get 2 points out of these thats good enough. The kids came up huge.

 

[MindzEye]

Tied for 2nd in the NHL in goals...

So here's a question. Does he challenge for the Richard?

Not with Sid playing like this. He'll be in the hunt for a long time thouhg.

Yeah, I think we've found 1 of his 2 long term linemates. Hyman has had a much stronger run of offensive form over the last 10-15 games, but I still don't see the type of talent that should be running with Auston there. Brown though...yeah, he has the complimentary skill set Auston needs on his wings.

 

[Jeremy]

Matthews with 1 more goal than Laine in 3 less games.

 

[MindzEye]

Not with Sid playing like this. He'll be in the hunt for a long time thouhg.

6 goals behind Sid...and Sid doesn't typically do this, he could as easily finish was 35-40 as he could with 50+

 

[zeke]

Matthews up to 10th in center PPG.

Approaching point per game pace.

 

[Jeremy]

Matthews has a pretty decent shot at 50 goals in his rookie season. Too good.

 

[zeke]

Tied for 2nd in the NHL in goals...

2nd in the league in shots. 1st in scoring chances.

Sportsnet Stats ‏
Auston Matthews is the first #Leafs rookie to score 20 goals prior to his first 40 career games played since Charlie Conacher in 1929-30

Generational?

 

[zeke]

Generational?

McDavid had a 1.07ppg as a rookie.

Matthews is gonna come close to that.


p.s. i really loved the kits tonight. looked awesome.
