how many goals does Auston Matthews score this year?

[Sundinisagod]

After Auston's first season, sites were ranking him as the 4th best center in the league! Matthew's has been overated during his career so far.

How is that related to my comment that you quoted ??

Remind us again, how many players scored more goals in those past 3 seasons?

6

Matthews is set to take over as the best goal-scorer in the league.

He looks incredibly deadly on that right side on the PP. Nothing to prove at ES, already proven he's the best there.

For the first time in his career he will be receiving legitimate deployment to maximize his goal scoring.

Been hearing that for the past 3 years. So far the only people who have eaten crow are Leafs fans with regards to Matthews.

But hey, maybe the 4th time is the charm.

And you've been nothing but wrong about Matthews the entire time

Absolutely. He hasn't been overrated at all by those that actually watch hockey, only to the hockeydb heroes.

And everyone of those 6 has more total icetime and average game icetime

All things considered, that's pretty impressive.

Indeed it is.

If he can stay healthy, I can see him hitting 50 goals (or more) this season.

You can see why there's this constant delusion and fairy tale hyperbole around Matthews.

I'm not in Canada so I am not bombarded by this but just take a look;

It's like a 2 goal game is unheard of and never been done before.

It's almost as if TSN is catering to their main audience, and not hockey fans in Southern California. Go figure!

 

[Pocket Hercules]

Provided that he stays healthy, I see AM flirting with 50 goals this season. I'm being conservative

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

Wrong. I've consistently said he's a 50 goal, 45 assist player and I don't see the potential for 100 points consistently from him except maybe in a career year where everything goes right. Feel free to check out my posting history.

I do know that in the past you've liked to participate in threads comparing him to McDavid (laughable) and claiming he's an Art Ross contender (also laughable). Have you finally changed your tune?

People need to vote with their brains and not click on articles they don't want to see/read more of. Page clicks determines the prominence of articles/headlines. Leaf fans do not out-number non-Leaf fans, so the absurd amount of Leafs content is due to non-Leaf fans continually clicking it beyond the rate they click on non-Leaf content.

You're assuming that the majority of non Canadian fans spend a lot of time on TSN?
Outside of a small % of American hockey fans looking for additional content they are catering to 7 primary franchises. Some of those franchises have TV deals with TSN. I think that connection and population are what drive the imbalance in articles on the site.

My bad, I thought you were the one who said:

Some folks in this thread are going to be buried alive by the amount of crow they'll have to eat

Imo, auston has been fairly over rated during his career so far. Every year lists put him above centers who go on to have a better season then him. Hopefully this year he can outperform his positional rankings.

 

[SotasicA]

47 in 72 games.

I think we have a winner. Well done.

 

[Varan]

47 in 72 games.

good job
