This is the kinda data I wanted to see, not some gibberish set of "0010020130100010100000002"Sorry, Ovi is much more consistent goalscorer.
First three seasons
[games with 1 or more goals] / [games played]:
AO 125/245 = 0.51
AM 70/158 = 0.44
PL 74/182 = 0.40
Even throughout Ovi's long career he is more consistent (0.46)
Due for a cold streak unless you're a leafs fans who thinks he'll score gpg the rest of the season. So no.
I trust your humanly pattern recognition subroutines like I do to my own. Not going to count through whole data set to nitpick what are exact numbers for each.

Auston's slumps are shorter, rarer, and more far between than OV's and PL's, but both OV and PL score more per game when they are in their hot streaks/periods.
@OV Fans: it's now about streakiness of these players, not that either AM or PL would be directly comparable in other ways (of course they are, or at least likely will be). It's simply that AM's typical slumps and streaks are shorter than both OV's and PL's and that he has been more consistent in goal scoring then either of other.
Sorry, Ovi is much more consistent goalscorer.
First three seasons
games with 1 or more goals/total games played:
AO 125/245 = 0.51
AM 70/158 = 0.44
PL 74/182 = 0.40
Even throughout Ovi's long career he is more consistent (0.46)
Matthews could come back and kill it but it will still be difficult to catch everyone who is now ahead of him. There's 8 guys who have 19-21 goals scored, on a roughly 60 goal pace and while some of them will fall off you have to expect a bunch will keep it up, and 1-2 may even accelerate (Laine or Ovechkin would be the horses to bet on there).
That's GPG average. A player can score same averages being extremely consistent or extremely streaky, and still their GPG is same.
For example 20 games, 10 goals for two different players.
Player 1: 01010 10101 01010 10101 = 10G, 0.5GPG
Player 2: 00000 00000 11111 11111 = 10G, o.5GPG
Player 1 is much more consistent than player 2, that can be considered very streaky!
I meant how steady their career goal scoring production on average is, and how their typical goal scoring pattern goes on. GPG rate doesn't say anything about that, as higher or lower rate player can be more streaky and slumpy, or consistent over his career goal scoring set.
Matthews is very consistent.
It's more like this
Player 1: 01110 10101 01010 10101 ~ 0.51 GPG
Player 2: 0101 injury 0101000 ~ o.44 GPG

Streaks 2+ games green
Slumps 3+ games red
He has more 3+ games goalless periods in his career than he have consecutive 2 games without goal, and because of that, 3 or more goalless games is more typical for him. Typical goalless "slump" for him is still longer than three games: 4GP, total 9 times in his career (when we do not go over different seasons).
Slumps (3 or more): 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 7, 7
Median 4 GP, Average 4.17 GP
Streaks: (3 or more): 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6
Median: 3-4GP, Average 3.9GP
Anyway, goals scored in all consecutive goal scoring games is 68G and when there are total 95 consecutive goalless games in his career (i.e. min 2 goalless games with/without a goal), thus on average he is more "slumpy" than "streaky". But when he is in his relatively short goal scoring streaks, he has high tendency to go over-the-top. Only one of his career hat tricks isn't part of any kind streak (not even a part of a point scoring streak).
But, I don't personally consider 3GP goalless period as "slump".
Hes played 10 to 15 fewer games then anyone else and is only 6 behind Laine in goals (already pasted him in points).
It will be tough but the way he's playing and with Nylander coming back I wouldn't put it past him.
He'll shoot 30% for the rest of the season of course!
Fully agreed. Just too much time missed with that injury, plus he is due to slow down, not a cold streak, but after injury many players come back super strong, but get tired at some point.
He will finish with an impressive point total, well above ppg.
I think with the time missed, he will play 68 games (if no more injuries happen) I could see him finishing with something stupid like 90 points in 68 games lol
This is cool. Well done.I trust your humanly pattern recognition subroutines like I do to my own. Not going to count through whole data set to nitpick what are exact numbers for each.

While true, we should account for the fact that he did have four straight goalless games before his injury. I think it's safe to say that despite his surge and obvious offensive growth, I don't think he hits 50 unless this pace continues.If, tomorrow, Matthews goes back to his pace from the previous two years, he'll wind up scoring 43 goals.
If we assume he's found a new gear thanks to his new training regime(which a lot of the stuff we heard over the summer), which is something his start to the seaon would support... and maybe we take into account that his goalscoring pace last year may have been negatively affected by multiple injuries... it's not unrealistic to say that he should outperform his goalscoring pace from the previous two seasons for the remainder of this season.
His goal scoring pace coming into this season is .514. In order to reach 50 this season, he'd need to be at .648 the rest of the way. That represents a big step back in what he's doing so far this season, and doesn't seem like that unrealistic of a jump for a young player growing.
I guess he’s been on a hot streak since he entered the league then.What a randomly cherry picked stat lol.
Anyways as for the thread question he probably doesn't he is way too streaky of a player. It always gives me a chuckle to see people act like he is better than Mcdavid and say he is a generational player every time he goes on a hot streak.
I mean, not being McDavid doesn't mean you're average. There's no doubt that he's the better goalscorer, and it's quite possible he's the best goal scorer in the NHL right now, but as a player, I do think McD is better.I guess he’s been on a hot streak since he entered the league then.
Most GPG since coming into the league, which includes a rookie season. Average player though eh...
13 goals behind Ovie for the lead in 33 less games.
Well if his >gpg pace continues, he's hitting over 70.While true, we should account for the fact that he did have four straight goalless games before his injury. I think it's safe to say that despite his surge and obvious offensive growth, I don't think he hits 50 unless this pace continues.
Yea, 72 or something ridiculous like that. I think it's probably closer to 45-49 as teams are going to start rounding out their defensive play. The question really is now that Nylander is back, whether his offensive game takes off even more than it already has.Well if his >gpg pace continues, he's hitting over 70.
Yea, as good as Matthews is on his own, Nylander adds a lot to his 5-on-5 game.Yea, 72 or something ridiculous like that. I think it's probably closer to 45-49 as teams are going to start rounding out their defensive play. The question really is now that Nylander is back, whether his offensive game takes off even more than it already has.
I don't think it will, but I think it will make the line a lot more consistent given that he's been stuck carrying Marleau's nearly dead corpse this season.
