Race for the Rocket Richard 2021

[Mac Attack]

He is currently leading. Just like McDavid is currently leading the Ross. They are not subjective awards and are based on a defined stat. Where as an award like the Hart as not. I'm also not trying to convince anyone, it's my opinion, I don't expect it care if anyone agrees with me.

I actually agree with you on Matthews being the best goal scorer. I just think your arguments used aren't lining up well.

Playing in the easiest division, so Rockets doesn't count in my eyes till we go back to normal formats.

Its the hardest division, he should get the Rocket next season guaranteed because of that. 2 X rocket winner Auston Matthews.

 

[Paul4587]

The race is over, may as well shut this one down. Only guy remotely close to him was Rantanen and he’s now on the COVID list.

 

[Yackiberg8]

Because you don't suddenly become the best goal scorer in hockey by winning an award for the first time when the guy who's won 9 of them is still in the damn league. How is this a question?

With this logic Gretzky was still the best goal scorer the year he retired lol. Great argument.

Then we'll leave you out of the voting.

Well THIS is a terrible take.

 

[TopCheese]

Hoping Matthews can pull it off but I’m not counting out ovechkin yet. He could realistically go get 7 goals in the next 3 games and be right back in it

 

[JasonRoseEh]

So in short, you've got nothing.

Oh no, I've already given you the entirety as to why calling a guy who hasn't won the award once (will win this year) better than the guy who has won it 9 and 3 straight prior to this year, is stupid especially when the later missed 4 games due to COVID.

What a stupid rationale to put forward and doesn't even deserve a response because yes, someone who is long retired is still the best goal scorer in the league RIGHT NOW. Dude just stop posting.

So in your opinion there's no chance one player can decline and another one can elevate his game ? What a terrible take lol. Matthews finished 1 goal behind OV and Pasta last year, it's not all that ridiculous to suggest a young scorer entering his prime who was just the runner up is now a better scorer than a 35 year old who obviously looks slower. In present day Matthews is the best goal scorer, if you're talking about overall career then OV is the goat. But this is Matthews easily. He missed games due to a wrist injury and has been playing with an injured wrist ever since that dirty hit he took. But you're not factoring that in either lol.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

I'm surprised you can't see the different between a voted award and a statistic based award.

Art Ross is voted on? That was one of the trophies Draisaitl won that directly impacted him winning the two other trophies.

 

[Rants Mulliniks]

Still nothing?

Also had COVID.

Caps fans arguing that Ovi deserves a grace period.

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

I don't really get the bickering going on in here.
