Race for the Rocket Richard 2021

[The Hanging Jowl]

No bias whatsoever when you make a list of contenders and you put the guy leading the league one handed at the bottom of the list.

Yup and he's not just leading, he's leading after missing 4 games which the players chasing him can't depend on moving forward. Mathews has scored 0.84 GPG, McDavid is next at 0.59 and Mathews has 1 extra game remaining over the McD/Drai. If Matthews stays healthy and depending on how hurt his wrist still is, how is he not the favourite?

This thread is clear evidence we need a downvote/dislike button.

Just to clarify why Matthews is at the bottom of my personal ranking. Three things.

1) Unsustainable shooting percentage
2) Injury prone player
3) McDavid and Draisaitl duo

McDavid's missed 47 games in his career (1 extra year) and Mathews 28. The other points are very subjective really, it's silly you had him last.

Pasta 0.71

 

[jetsforever]

Matthews is definitely the favourite right now
Looks like the Ovi streak might end

Pasta 0.71

Understood, I should have said it more clearly (I mean the guy behind him in actual goals).

don't let playing the Sens twice go to your head lol

Ovi tied last year.

Matthews and Pasta are the top two snipers in the league now.

Throw in the Oiler duo if played together.

Holy #$%# Leaf fans get offended easily ... it's a $#@%ing list!

I realized something this year, I don't really hate the Leafs. What I hate are Leaf fans and the media.

And for the record, one of McDavid or Draisaitl is catching Mathews.

After all, I have never heard anyone say of Mathews:

“When I watch Connor McDavid play, I look up at God and start crying. He’s unbelievable” - Kris Versteeg*


*He is a weird dude!

To be devil's advocate I said the same thing about Brett Lebda and Toskala

Easy big fella, no one's offended. I said it was silly and it was. You may well be right about McD or Drai, time will tell. But you had the current goal leader last of the contenders and I can only say that's silly so many times before I sound silly.

What else can you expect from someone who once thought Marner and Yakupov were the same.

Mitch Marner the next Yakupov?

Criticising people for being offended easily as he screams hahahaha

Then he says one of his boys will catch Matthews.

Sure, they might. IF Matthews misses more games due to injury while CmD keeps sniping goals 10 seconds into games like he did last night lol

What a shot!!

Nobody’s catching Matthews if he stays healthy.

Nobodies catching Matthews if he stays healthy.

I guess we will see ...

(And I dont know what "screams hahahaha" means.)

First line of your post. Doesn’t seem very calm. Ya seemed pretty $#@%ing (lol) upset while calling out people for being “easily offended”

But I guess you don’t see it. Just like you don’t see that Matthews is the best goal scorer this year by quite a gap.

 

[longtimeoilfan]

Surprised is probably a better word than "upset," which in context isn't a synonym for offended.

And you're right, I don't see Mathews that way.

As the title states this thread will be to discuss the race for the Rocket Richard in the 2021 season. Below will be the main contenders. Discuss away.

McDavid
Draisatil
Debrincat
Ehlers
Toffoli
Boeser
Matthews
Other???

I think McDavid or Draisaitl have it this year personally.

The Oiler fan thinks an Oiler will win it, shocking

Nah we don’t get offended easily, we just like to challenge terrible takes and opinions.. kinda like yours. lol McDavid must be injury prone too right if he’s missed more games? And don’t see McDavid or Drai catching him at all. He’s almost at 1 goal a game lmao.

also cool that you hate leaf fans, we hate oilers fans too.
Mathews has scored 0.84 GPG, McDavid is at 0.59.
Totally catching him.

See VooDoodaddy, this is an example of being "offended."

How is Matthews last on your list? How did you think of him last? lmao

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

If Matthews stays healthy he's winning the rocket he's got 21 goals 4 ahead of everybody else.
