[Halla]

Matthews 30th just made them the first team to accomplish the feat.
JVR has 34 and Naz has 30

Jets and Pens both close

People are going to find some way to downplay this, but it's incredibly impressive.

 

[Marshy]

Nice

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

They got lucky

 

[Raging Bull]

Hahahaha. Knew it would only take Auston ten minutes or so.

 

[Woll Smoth]

Rumor has it they play on different lines too

zero 40 goalscorers, Leafs lack high-end talent

j/k, fun to watch, congrats

 

[Raging Bull]

None of them are their top scorer either. Mitchy doing Mitchy things.

 

[RobBrown4PM]

Back during the dark days I believe we nearly had 3, 30 goal scorers. Grabovski, Kulimen and Kessel. Kessel and Kulemin had 30 an change, while Grabovski had 29,1 shy.

It's so "impressively incredible" that it's not that uncommon. It's less common than you'd think it would be, but it's not really uncommon. There will probably be 3 teams with 3 30 goal scorers this year, and there were 2 in 2015-2016 (Boston and Dallas).

I think it tends to average out to around 1 or 2 teams a season.

Problem is with that, the Leafs' guys all play on different lines. The other two don't.

How on earth is that relevant?

 

[La Masse]

Whats even more impressive is its on 3 different lines

Yup. Matthews would likely have 40+ goals and be our leading scorer right now if not for his injuries. Though he may not be leading by that much. Marner is on pace for over 70 points this season, which is incredible considering his rough first half.

11 game scoring streak on the go right now.

they could possibly end up with four 30bgoal scorers. outside chance for marleau.

Bergeron is at 27, same as Crosby

Yes they do, Kessel, Crosby and Malkin are all on 3 separate lines. Kessel plays on a line with Brassard and has spent a lot of time with Sheahan this year. I'm not sure how the Jets set up their forward lines.

Also this.

 

[MattySnipes]

Great feat. Very neat stat. Now if Patty can get 5 more goals we have four 30-goal scorers. Wouldn't that be somethin'

Also this.

Pens trio doesn't have 30 goals each....

Kessel’s also played something like 70% of his ES TOI with Malkin too.

add boston to the list then. this thread is about teams with three 30g scorers, not 2

Matthews showing his prowess. Had he been healthy, he would have beasted up on the scoring, beating both McDavid and Laine in goals scored at the very least. Next season we will see his true form. Expecting 40-50 goals and 90-110 points

 

[CupInSIX]

the most impressive thing to me is JVR potting 30 from the 3rd line.

He would have probably been within a goal or 2 of both

That's what you get when you have young beasts like Matthews, Marner and Nylander beasting it up, the opponents have to exhaust all energy to try to shut them down even a bit so lower line guys can exploit the opportunities. Looking good for the Leafs.
