50 in 50 Tracker

[NoName]

No it wouldn't. Matthews has 50 goals in his last 79 regular season games. Anything less than 50 this year would be a letdown...

That is misleading since the 7 goals this past 4 games (which puts him at that 50 goals in 79 games pace) have come at the start of the season where players normally put up big numbers and defences and goaltenders are sieves. These goalscoring rates change drastically as the year goes on and scoring drops substantially league wide, look at Ovi’s start last year as an example; he didn’t even crack 50 at seasons end, no player did.

Matthews is one of the absolute best goal-scorers in the NHL right now and in this day and age the best goalscorer in the league maybe puts up 50 in a season.

For reference, no one scored 50 goals last year or the year before. The last 50 goal scorer was Ovechkin who scored exactly 50 in 2015-16. Indeed, no one not named Ovechkin has scored 50+ goals since 2011-12. Only one man has scored 50+ goals in a season in the last six years, and no one has done it in the past two years.

50 goals in a season is a rarity in today’s NHL. If Matthews can accomplish that feat he is in rare company.

Lol jeez don’t set unrealistic expectations or anything.

30 in the nhl now gets you a top end contract. You guys better hope he doesn’t hit 50.

Leafs will be having fans play defence nights as it is just to stay cap compliant soon

Well my Leafs have shown that signing Nylander is completely obsolete now, so they can use that Money on Matthews too. And Matthews better get more than Tavares since he's our best player. Would love to see Matthews get more than McDavid as well, so we could have the bragging rights when it comes to who has the biggest contract.

Lol I question some of your dreams. But I like your spirit

50 in 50..... Yikes

I mean anything is possible, but I would be happy with 50 over a full season, and about 45-50 assists.

If he put up 50 in 50, I would be thoroughly impressed.

Me too. All non-Leaf fans look forward to the days in the near future when they have to let players go to stay under the cap.

My Leafs won't have to let anybody go, Unless you count Nylander, but most of us Leafs fans have already moved on from Nylander since it's clear we don't need him. We'll sign Matthews and Marner to big Money deals. And we'll fill out the rest of the roster with the picks and prospects we'll get when we move Nylander.

There is about a great as chance as Taylor Swift walking into my bedroom tonight than we have an NHL player netting 50 goals in 50 games.

How about something more realistic like, a 50 goals in 82 games tracker (seeing that didn't happen last season)?

 

[olli]

Nobody's going to end up with 50 in 50 but Mackinnon has 3 goals in 3 games shooting at 15.8%.

Don't embarrass us.

The thing is no one tracks 50 goal seasons as a milestone but 50 in 50 has been one for many many years.

 

[Kale Hulls]

They have been making these threads for many years now even though it hasn't happened it 20+ years.

 

[tapi]

Matthews has a shot at 60 if he stays healthy

 

[Tofveve]

It looks like there will be a ton of fifty goal scorers this year.

 

[Tofveve]

matthews is DEFINITELY scoring 50 in 50. maybe tavares too. and dont sleep on marner. i also think when nylander returns, he is a candidate.

This smells like an intentional jinx post, when, typed with said intention produces an opposite result.

 

[Varan]

the closest anyone has gotten since the last time it happened was OV from the back half of 12/13 to the first half of 13/14: 49 goals in 52 games

 

[Lunatik]

50 in 50 goes by team games played, not players games played

in the end it's not going to matter, no one is doing it

 

[LuGBuG]

This thread is done every year and it's interesting. I enjoy consistently checking it. Why are people so whiney about what thread is started on a message board.... holy moly

 

[vippe]

Gotta do tables man!

I enjoy reading these things even though they usually tend to die around game 20 or so ;p

I have no idea on how to do tables here. If you know, PM me and I'll make the switch.

Almost like the E and R are next to each other on a keyboard and typos happen...
