Matthews ranks 101st among forwards in 5v5 ice time per game

[MattySnipes]

It was to be expected that his 5v5 scoring would dip - bit 1 in 8 games is pretty bad even with that in mind.

I have no problem with Marner other than 5v5. But if that poster is gonna complain about Matthews' 7 goals and whine he has 1 assist be prepared to hear about your boy Mitch.

Goes to show how useless total points is as a stat, because Marner hasn't even been close to our best player

Maybe its telling just how good of a player marner is? Even when he is not playing well and only has 2 points at 5v5, he still has more than the fabled auston Matthew's. Just shows how over rated auston is.

If only Matthews, Marner, and Tavares were our 3 forwards with the most takeaways last season. Oh wait, they are.

Nylander the "perimeter player" had 2 less takeaways than Hyman in 20 less games lol.

The mental gymnastics you guys will go through to defend Babcock not playing our best forwards when chasing a goal are truly incredible.

The mental gymnastics you advanced stat watchers will go through to highlight a larger point which is inconsequential to a localized event is truly incredible. Look up standard deviation.

Matthew's has to be better than this. He is being outplayed by a player making close to 1/2 of his money.

It honestly looks like pasta might be just as good, if not better than auston.

We got scammed.

He need too start working alot harder in the dzone.
And getting involved physically.
He always uses use stick instead of his body.

based on that play, Pastrnak is better than Matthews? I don't even see where Matthews got "embarrassed". Pastrnak got pushed away from the net and made a great pass that probably shouldn't have gotten through

Matthews was charmin soft on pasta. Didnt lean on him or anything. Its becoming a trend where austom barely puts any effort into the defensive end of things.

And its based on pasta having more goals than auston which is his one redeeming skill.

It's based on 17 points vs 11.

It's based on pasta having a higher ppg since auston came into the league.

Auston might be the most over rated player in the league.

After his rookie season he was ranked as the 4th best center. After his sophomore season he was once again ranked as the 4th best center. He is still not the 4th best center.
