Who is the 2nd best goal scorer of the NHL?

[Peggy]

Matthews easily, love how Laine comes back after a hot stretch though lol...his backers were hiding away for a while.

Come on. No one was hiding. We were waiting. Everyone said goal scorers are streaky and to wait.

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Laine is still learning his game. It's him.

 

[Team Cozens]

Add Skinner

 

[Uncle Bill]

Matthews, simply has more ways to score.

How many 5 on 5 goals for Laine this year?

For whatever it’s worth: 10 EVG this year. From 19 goals. 61 EVG since arriving. From 99 goals.

 

[Uncle Bill]

So what, he has played a lot more games! He has 14 goals now in 21 games, It took Mathews a 7 or 8 games to score 10. If Mathews come back soon enough he'll surpass Laine again!!!!!! The only time Laine surpasses Mathews is when he is injured, never when healthy.

First, it’s 19 goals in 22 games, not 14. Second, it’s absurd to speculate upon what a player might achieve if he didn’t get hurt. Never has a scoring champion ever been declared for what might of been. You have to understand that at the end of the day, you have to play the games.​

 

[Uncle Bill]

It's guys like you that these polls cannot be taken seriously, you admitted to voting Laine just because you can't stand the Leafs fan base. Just goes to show that polls are useless and should be banned.
At least you told the truth.

Yesterday a leaf fan said basically the same thing.

I like Laine, but this kind of stuff makes me want to root against him.

 

[talitintti]

Ovetskin.

 

[snowkiddin]

Laine

 

[jepjepjoo]

Matthews: 0.54 goals per game
Laine: 0.53

Matthews is better, but it's close. Laine is also hurt by only currently only being a top threat to score in a small part of the game, even if he's the best at it

They must have made you and honorary Finn....In my books .01 is still better! All the Finns would be doing cartwheels to prove the .01 is better.

0.56 > 0.54

 

[CptPicard]

Laine, he seems to win this in a landslide anyway

 

[jonlin]

Yes, voting for the guy who scores more goals per game is grasping at straws. I should have gone with a smart argument, like deciding that health is directly affected by goal scoring ability. It's funny how it's only too close to call when it comes to voting for Matthews, though. You had no trouble voting for Laine

I vote for the guy with 0,01 less goals but stays healthy and thus scores 10+ more goals/season.

 

[MardyBum]

16/17 - 18/19 All strengths G/60

Laine leads the league.

Actual goals from 16/17 - 18/19

Laine tied with Ovie at 99.

He's 20.

Laine.

 

[c4rdsh4rk]

mcdavid because he will get goals in so many ways, even by using his teammates.

id take matthews over laine as i think he will sustain his goal scoring ability longer and can score in more ways. less likely to slump, if it werent for the damn injuries.

16/17 - 18/19 All strengths G/60

Laine leads the league.

Actual goals from 16/17 - 18/19

He's 20.

Laine.

All strength G/60 is such a horrendous stat

 

[Regal]

I vote for the guy with 0,01 less goals but stays healthy and thus scores 10+ more goals/season.

So far they've alternated staying healthy and beating the other. And this season is too early to call

 

[Hasa92]

Ovechkin.

 

[Nosferatu]

I think ovechkib is the second best after Laine

 

[dukeofjive]

Was going to vote for laine, but i voted for mcjesus, i thought there was a change vote option.

 

[34]

Laine might be the best goal scorer now. His shot is lethal.

No question OV and Laine are top.

Matthews has some work to do when he gets back.

 

[chewbaccaman]

Lainer

 

[Esko6]

A healthy Matthews. People always seem to forget how amazing he is when he is injured.

 

[SeanConn]

Going with Laine.



Seriously though... it's Patrik Laine.

he just loves to score SO MUCH!

 

[Ben White]

Soon to be Pettersson.

 

[Skolman]

Matthews easily, love how Laine comes back after a hot stretch though lol...his backers were hiding away for a while.

Has there ever been a poll where you don't vote for the Leafs player plus state they are "easily" better?

 

[Narow]

A healthy Matthews. People always seem to forget how amazing he is when he is injured.

He is crazy good. Right up there with laine for the 2nd goalscorer in the league.
