His release is so good he can sustain 20+%shooting 30% is not a good. he's gonna finish shooting liek 15.
Highest GPG since he came into the league, yup.If you look at the stats from the beginning of last season, which is a large sample, Matthews isn't even close to the top 5, let alone #2.
McDavid 108GP 143PTS
Kucherov 109GP 142PTS
MacKinnon 102GP 140PTS
Matthews 76GP 86PTS
If you're thinking "yah he's missed a lot of games but his P/GP puts him in the top 5" it doesn't. He's 10th with 1.13P/GP.
MacKinnon is the highest with 1.37 and there are 5 players over 1.2P/GP.
In fact, Matthews is closer to 15th in P/GP than he is to the top 6.
He has also played the least amount of games, meaning everyone above him (except Marchand) has kept their pace up for 25-30 games longer than Matthews.
Also, in the 5 games before his injury, he had 0g2a. He has 9PTS in his last 8GP. 5G4A
He's put up 7 points in the 3 games since returning, and leaf fans are acting like he's doing something special. In reality, the 2.33P/GP he's had since returning, has been done multiple times by multiple players this year, and players like Kucherov have kept up a 2.5P/GP for 10 games. Rantanen has 22pts over 12 games. Laine had 11G over 4 games.
There's nothing that points towards Matthews being a top 3 player in the league.
Who's AM?
I agree. I see 'nostrils' jab everytime, all over the internet. Pathetic. Is that what it's come to? Can't diss his game so you attack physical appearance? Most children are even smarter I'd bet.And who are you to make fun of someone’s looks? Isn’t this a board about hockey, and not childish schoolyard jabs

Right? And I mean, the kid is a stud. He's a good looking dude and I'm a guy. So his nostrils are a little big (dad), so what?Anyone who wants to make fun of the way people look should be required to post a photo of their own face first.

If you think 1.64 ppg is amazing, you should hear about this Rantanen guy. He's at 1.64 and has played twice as many games. MacKinnon and Kucherov are also a couple guys you should look at. It will blow your mind.Highest GPG since he came into the league, yup.
