I love how TOI doesn't matter when it comes to Matthews but as soon as you bring up Getzlaf numbers in his first two years he quickly goes to the TOI defense...to funnyTrue, you just focus on Getzlaf.
Maybe he should've been better then? And yeah that "immediately" was 3 years into his career when he was 24. And besides, why does it matter if he was on the 4th line? Are you telling me TOI matters?
Good for him, Matthews is on about PPG in his 2nd year, something Getzlaf didn't do until he was 24, but keep pumping those tires, gonna be very hard in the coming years, especially as paltry 15 goal Ryan continues to score less and less.
