    My favorite matthews moment is last year he had an off year due to injury and still scored more than 40 goals. And people tried to be like "see? He's over rated, he only scored 40 goals" only? Most players don't have a 40 goal season in their career.

    The Leafs will go as far as Austin Matthews will take them. There's only so far a single player can put a team on his back and take them to the promise land. The leafs haven't had much luck in the playoffs but same could be said about Alex Ovechkin but eventually they will break through that curse. GO LEAFS GO!!

I hope he can stay healthy.

  • @baylaust
    @baylaust5 ай бұрын

    As a pure goal scorer, he's the best in the league and it's REALLY not even close. When all is said and done, there will be an argument for him being the best scorer of all time, up there with Lemieux and Gretzky. He's just the kind of player where ANYWHERE on the ice is a potential danger zone for him to be in, and that's terrifying to go up against. Is he the best player in the league? You can certainly argue that other players excel in areas where Matthews doesn't (McDavid is the best skater and general playmaker, and MacKinnon is just really good at everything he does, it's actually kinda ridiculous), so there's certainly a solid argument to be made that he isn't. But in terms of personally delivering a puck to the back of the net, Matthews takes it. Hell, he got 40+ goals last year, and it turned out he was playing with an injured hand for a lot of it. If 40+ goals is what a HURT Matthews is capable of, then this season is showing what he's capable of in his prime.

    He is the consumate goal scorer + a bit more. Unlike Ovechkin, who is primarily a shooter and needs someone to set him up, Matthews is a good puck handler. He is not at the same level of McDavid but McDavid is a playmaker. McDavid strength is his ability to control the game. Imagine Matthews playing with McDavid. We see the lethalness of this type of combination when McDavid and Draisaitl play together.

    He is the next Ovechkin and everything shows it. Same height 6'3, extremely good slap shot/one timer and is a great goal scorer if not elite. He really needs to be more physical though much like Ovi. Back when Vegas first got in the league there is that clip of Ovi just bodying a Vegas player over the boards (Vegas is a strong tough team) and so much more clips of Ovi being very physical which is what Matthews needs. As far as I know prime Ovi was strong as heck but I honestly think Matthews is stronger and could be more physical and get in more scraps. He is very tough. Not physical. Don't get that mixed up. He is overall elite especially in the league within past 6 years with the likes of McDavid, Mackinnon, Draisaitl, Crosby (He only gets maybe a bit worse in speed and all that after every year due to getting older and even Ovechkin (This year has just been a downfall year mainly for goals though. He has some of the most assists on the team which hey is a great thing. My point is Matthews is elite much like those guys who there are even more that can go there but I won't get into that.

    Mathews is not a center, he is a high scoring winger. He can't drive a line, his playmaking skills are average, defense average. Look at Elite centers like McKinnon, Crosby, McDavid and Kopitar, they have 200 ft game. Mathews is a better version of Tyler Seguin. As soon as Mathews drops a little, he will be a thirdline winger.

When mcdavid cracked 60 goals he put up 89 assists. Mathews best year ever in the nhl is on par with mcdavids worst. So far anyhow. He could grow and turn into a player that can lift his team mates with him but to call him the best scorer in the league is just wrong. Stats dont lie. hes entertaining as fuck though.
