I saw another article comparing Auston Matthews to Mario Lemieux, which I found even more insufferable.

We'd be doing the same with Laine if he'd had Matthews' start. Heck, in his first year there were tons of posts comparing him to Lemieux, even before he'd played a single NHL game.

Matthews has a 53 % shooting percentage and with 9 goals, his +/- is still -1. I know you don't usually put much stock in +/- but when a guy has the kind of start he's had and he's still on ice for more goals against than for you gotta wonder what happens when his play regresses to the mean.

I haven’t looked but remember, a PP goal won’t count towards that.
