Auston Matthews has been the NHL's best goal scorer this season. In this video, we take a deeper look at how he's scoring goals at a historic pace. - Sport
It’s such an amazing feeling being able to watch him every game for your team
An absolute privilege watching this guy. He needs the big blue C on his jersey.
Edit: my 8 y/o Auston Matthews fan came over and read my comment and goes “GREAT comment dad! Like your own comment! Like your own comment!” 😂
Especially as Leaf Fans we have never had a real true super star on this level. Of course we have had some real good star players but nothing on the Gretzky, Lemieux, McDavid, Crosby level like this.
@@tjp1451 awww
Matthews saved the Leafs franchise.
As a Habs fan, we get better playoffs run with worse teams, but I miss having a superstar forward at all.@@jason893
I think the fact Auston & Mitchy are really good friends off the ice certainly helps with their chemistry.
They measured the time it takes Matthews to catch and shoot the puck at 0.38 seconds. That's pretty fast lol.
That’s insane where did you see that
They said it on sportsnet between periods on Tuesday during the Leafs/Vegas game Jeff O'neill and Jennifer Botterill were talking about it and they showed a slow mo video with a timer posted on the screen. 0.38 seconds to catch the puck and rip a wrist shot. Insanity.@@kweqwequgtweqfq4694
Sportsnet...between periods during the Vegas/Leafs game on tuesday.
Yeah it's crazy. And while some dude practicing over and over at a rink could reasonably get to that catch and release speed, the fact Matthews can do it that fast, plus pick his corner, plus have goalie awareness, plus have spatial awareness of opposing players and their stick positions, plus actually getting some power on the shot is what is crazy.
Cause he does all this while also calculating whether he has to do something else to make the most of the opportunity, and you can bet that release will turn into a curl and drag or delay or something different altogether if it has to.
Especially if you're trying to defend it.
Thank you for pointing out Matthews defensive stats too. So many Leafs haters think he only scores goals but he's genuinely a solid 2 way player. Give that man some Selke consideration.
Big Papi in the house!
The defense wonder.. not. Selke? 😂😂
@@franzfred7511literally the haters he’s talking about in his comment 😂 Matthews is one of the best 2 way players in the league if you actually watched hockey
Leafs haters are best just ignored. They're part of a cult. I'm sure some Leafs fans are cultish too, though most of them are justifiably neurotic, He is a very complete player.
I think the MVP race should be between him and Mackinnon.
@@blakebarrette9568 sure. plan the parade.
0:15 Every Leafs fan has heard "Just wait for the first round", but "#GolfLeafsGolf" is just disrespectful lmaoo
Man I'm just glad they get to the playoffs it sucks when your team ain't making it there I remember the teams after sunding and it was rough I'm just glad we have competitive teams every year now gotta enjoy it when u can
Tbh, GolfsLeafsGolf is probably the funniest Leafs joke I’ve heard in a while
It’s a joke as old as league
The leafs play really tough opponents in the playoffs and keep it entertaining. Goleafsgolf almost made me piss myself.
The thing I love about Auston Matthews, is that there seems to be a young generation of American fans who really look up to him. As a Toronto kid, it’s really cool to see people from around the league not just shitting on the Leafs. I don’t even consider myself a “Leafs fan” more of a Knights fan, but I’d be lying if I said that I didn’t want to see Toronto win in my lifetime (like with Montreal, Edmonton, Winnipeg and Vancouver) I think the celebration would be world class and ultimately good for the sport. Passion fuels passion, plus with the influx of American talent, it would add a bit of complexity if some of the best American talent plays for a Canadian team, the inverse has been true for a long time, it’s cool to see an American player come up to Canada and really embrace it in way Matthews has.
@@whatquestion sorry old man, I’m not in my 40’s or older. Isn’t it past your bedtime?
When did you become a Knights fan? Their first year, when they went to the finals or last year when they won a cup?
If you don't cheer for the home team, you dont understand what being a real sports fan is. Your a bandwagoner. Just like every guy that grew up in Toronto in the 80s that calls themselves a Bruins and Oilers fan and hates Toronto just because they were garbage in the 80s. Just like every kid my age that latched onto the Sidney Crosby bandwagon or the Ovi band wagon. 😅
You know how many times I've wished that I didn't have to be a Toronto fan? I hate that city. But I was born into it. If you get to choose ans be wishy washy about who you cheer for then you will never understand the strife and pain that diehard fans go through.
And what did mathews embrace? He's been given everything he asked for and has been overpaid for 2 contracts now that should have been one contract 8 year x 11.5 million. Real hockey fans understand that you should get paid for wins. Not for individual stats and records... and he has one playoff series win. The greedy 4 have ruined the window for a dynasty team.
Buy a Morgan Reilly jersey. He's the only key guy on that team that actually cares about winning and isn't being massively overpaid and actually plays 60 minutes every night.

Not a Leafs fan, but the M&M line is fire.
Does Matthew Knies count as a 3rd M for this discussion?
I couldn't be happier to be a Matthews fan!
I grew up in AZ and it brings a huge smile to my face seeing this guy at the top!
He even played at my home rink for the AAA team way back before he got drafted to the WHL.
Ill never forget when I heard about his 4 goal NHL first game, that was insane, an actual legend was born!
He never played in the WHL…
He played in the USDP until he went to Switzerland to play for Zurich for a year when he was 17-18. He never considered playing in the CHL at all as far as I know.

Leafs are not my team but I watch every Leafs game on TV . so many good players ,so many great moves .they are just a lot of fun to watch. And it would be okay with me if this team wins the cup
Great video, really enjoyed the breakdown of Toronto’s zone strategy and how it plays against different coverages. Something I’ve noticed this season in particular for sure!
Just appreciate greatness
Too bad greatness was given to an 6'3" 220 pound man that plays hockey like its a women's league. Actually that's an insult to the women, at least they play with some snarl instead of trying to make friends at every scrum.
So many, at least those often posting, cannot seem to do that. But perhaps many of those that appreciate great players do not feel the need to comment.
Alot of people count my leafs out as oh playoff this playoff that
But Auston Matthews is literally one of the best goal scores of the era and you can't even deny that
Yeah he can score goals but like MacKinnon said a few years ago he “hasn’t won shit”. I would bet he’d trade all these goals to have a better shot at holding the Stanley Cup.
@@k.b.6498 okay now here me out
Ovechkin is one of the best scorers of the 2000s and he didn't win a cup with his core team until 2018? 13 whole years after he sat in Washington winning nothing. With so many good teams in the east Toronto especially with the way Florida and Boston are have the difficulty set on max from the jump
Let's look at last year for example
Toronto barely squeezed by Tampa and got the monkey off their shoulders
Florida is a brutally aggressive team and was coming off a high of beating the bruins
Carolina Toronto would of blown through and Vegas wouldn't of been easy but they wouldn't of gone out without a fight
Agreed. People need so stop looking ahead and just appreciate what we’re seeing right now.
@@juvialockser9912 this year Florida is playing pretty much like they did in the playoffs last year. Bruins are playing very well too. The Rangers are rolling as well. No way the Leafs beat out those teams. I wouldn’t bet money on them getting through to the second round and would bet against them getting out of the second round no matter their opponent.
@@k.b.6498 bruins are not bruins are struggling in the late half of this season 💀
Toronto has the next month to play the bruins rangers and Florida a few times to see if we can out perform them even if it was in the same way we beat Colorado the other night
Bros on another level
The man is a rarity. Incredible skill set, 200 ft game. Quietly visits the Hospital for Sick Children frequently. It lights up HIS day. If you are going to pick a hero, this is a good choice. I made it his first season. :)
Great take. Thanks for not forgetting to mention how dominant he is on the other side of the puck.
Don’t just say things
he makes it look so easy
Your hockey breakdowns and clip selection are world-class. Another great video.
What an amazing video! Seen your videos before, but with the breakdowns into analyzing the technique towards your subject, I can't help but subscribe . Bravo hockey psychology 👍🏻😜
These are my fav hockey vids by far. Great stuff man. Keep it up!
Pens/Jackets fan here. I am absolutely rooting for the Leafs…
I need a vid on my Preds, man. Love your content and I’d like to hear what you think about it. You’re becoming as prominent to my hockey consumption as THG.
awesome work, well explained!
Your usual well researched and well presented video. Really enjoyed that one.
Bruh these videos just keep getting better. This channel is going to blow up for sure.
His magic comes from that fact that he's not in a rush to shoot the puck. Many players seem to panic when they have the puck and as they are taught to "shoot" the puck at the net, but Matthews doesn't do that. He takes the extra second for execution which seems to make all the difference in the world.
Seems like he anticipates where the puck will end up and has already calculated his next move before it lands on his plate.
he is such a treat to watch, especially watching him steal pucks
Im normally a Raptors fan but I had to watch these guys play this season. People can talk about the playoff failures if they want but as a casual watching Nylander, Marner and Matthews play has been one of the most exciting things i've experienced in Toronto sports since Vince Carter. I can't believe we have 3 talents on this level.
Excellent stuff😁
I'd love it if Matthews hits 75 goals this season and gets a hat trick against the Bruins twice.
Once this Monday then against on Thursday.
This video was FANTASTIC!
Would love to see breakdowns like this for other top players too
You jinxed him. He's been ice cold since this came out.
Toronto has the most pressure to perform in the postseason this year. If they don't make a deep run I honestly don't know where they go from here.
Another New GM, Another New Coach. 2 New goalies, a brand new defensive line.
Golfing
As a LEAFS fan. We say this every year! Lol
They won’t go far because one person won’t carry a team to the Cup. If one player could get a team to the cup, McDavid would have multiple cups.
Your right but leafs do have a better core than Oilers, not the best on the league or anything but better regardless@@k.b.6498
He is brilliant with the puck and his shots seem effortless 🎊🏆 🏆 🏆
Great to see his defensive side of the game coming into the light. Young players take notice, this guy is running away with the goal race and he plays solid in his own end.
glad you gave marner his credit, man he can control the puck and find his vision and awareness for finding mathews is insane.
Absolutely sick release!
Like Mathews, your channel is the best!
His ability to find space near the crease reminds me of the great German footballer Thomas Muller. His ability to see the game developing in real time coupled with his extremely high game IQ lets him almost see the future and get into wide open spaces in dangerous areas. The Germans have a word for him, Raumdeuter, or space interpreter. Hes not the most physically gifted or athletically imposing. He’s not the fastest or strongest and he doesn’t have amazing skills on the ball, but his intelligence and quick thinking makes up for literally all of that and produces one of the best AMF of all time.
Him and nylander are unstoppable when they’re flying across the ice and ready to score goals
Great video. I'm waiting for the all of Nate's 100 points. Hopefully coming soon.
Matthews is a special talent. He alone is keeping the Leafs relevant and in the conversation.
|He alone is keeping the Leafs relevant and in the conversation.| No he isn't! They have 7 players with double digit Goals, 5 players with 40+ points, 9 players with 20+ points & 17 total players with double digit points. He is a special talent but it's not just him thank God cuz their goaltending needs work!
Nylander was carrying the team playing on the 2nd line for quite a while this season
His follow through...a shot like no other. Almost like an explosion.
Thanks!
As a Leafs fan, im so grateful to see Matthews play every game woth our team instead of any other team. He is gonna stay with us for the rest of his career.
I’m going to start my own channel with a few slow down edits, n cbc replays. Good on ya
Matthew’s would be a great pick n roll in basketball holy
Been fun to watch... even from a Lightning perspective...
It's because Leafs management has finally figured out how to build a line and a team around him.
He deserves a cup as much as our city does, and the Leafs franchise need to do all they can to make it happen ASAP!
since his wrist injury his toedrag is no longer there like his early years and he rarely scored from the circle. i always thought like what if he can score from the circle like ovi and stamkos. and then boom hes been lowkey working on it and you will see it all season of him scoring from the circle which i think is one of the most scariest spots to score from
Go Auston! Go Mitch! 🤠
Even if the leafs dont win a cup. Getting to watch matthews every night makes watching all those bad leaf teams worth it.
I don't watch the nhl only the rangers but he does everything like panarian scores his goals with the wrister zibanigad hits the one timer and krieder scores up front Mathews does all
Rangers fan & you can't even spell Panarin, Zibanejad & Kreider properly 😂 You spelled Matthews wrong too btw but that's ok since he doesn't play for your team. But those other 3? 😂
@@Tam0dehow did his comment manage to make you salty 😂
Such a good video
This is crazy
Mitchy got a nasty apple last night the drop pass
It's been incredible to watch Ovi creep up on Gretzky with quite whispers of "what if" slowly changing to "when?" There were 17 years between Gretzky's last 50 goal season and Ovi's first (rookie season). That's over a full generation of NHL talent before Ovi's burst onto the scene. It's unbelievable to think that Matthews is starting to generate his own whispers before Ovi has even overtaken The Great One. In the most optimistic scenario (permit me if you will), we could be watching the two greatest goal scorers ever... at the same time.
another banger
6'3"? Woah, I always thought he was smaller. Seeing him on the ice he always looked shorter than most.
What? lol.
Nah, Matthews looks big on the ice. You know who i thought was smaller than they really are? Ovechkin. And he's also 6'3" like Matthews.
Leafs are finally getting good
Been good for years, where have you been?
@@ShadyLurker16
I think he meant playoff good as in playoff success. The Leafs have been a good regular season team for a while now & that don't mean shit at the end of the day.
Glad the nhl is finally going back the the Olympics, I’m not even an American but I want to see him on team usa
"Adjusted for era" is a blatant excuse to disrespect Gretzky. The man scored 92 and 87 goals in two seasons
In an era that was objectively easier to score in.
Respectfully, that's the case. It was easier then. It's not to disrespect him, but it is to put things into context.
Era adjusted stats don’t change the fact that most knowledable sport fans consider Gretzky the goat of all goats across sports. He’s not disrespected at all
Honestly I think the selkie should be a battle between linemates. Matthews defensively deserves it and marner played 10-15 shifts as a defender and didn’t look out of place except for a slightly weak back skate
Alternative title: how Austin Matthews scores goals, while not leading his team in scoring or being the biggest threat on the ice most nights
Thank you for mentioning Mitch Marner #16! Without Marner, Matthews would not have anywhere near those 53 goals.
You can't. I'm a Habs fan and I'm happy for the Leafs fan!
The stupid thing is at the beginning of the season when he had those first few hat tricks, everyone joked about how many he would get. Not so much of a joke now. I hope we get to see a 70g season.
Auston Mathews will go down as the greatest leaf of all time. He will be the highest goal scorer by the end of his contract and will end up with a statue at Socia Bank Arena.
3:10 Legit, this footage reminds me of shark footage. The dude is an actual predator on the ice.
who knew M&M could be THIS good?
IDK, I'm more of a skittles guy 😁
Ovi can have the scoring title for a couple years at least lol
every season they hype the leafs and every season the fall short. Until they prove they have what it takes nothing they do in the regular season really matters
Who's they, the fans? And no you're right, we should all just not care about AM's historic season cause he hasn't won a cup?. I guess none of McDavids accomplishment mean anything and no one should care as well, right?...right? and no one ever talked about OVI before he won a cup amirite. Yeah, Fuck off.
He’s having a historic goal scoring season. Like all time level scoring. People are allowed to and should respect that no matter what team he plays for
The only hope is to assign game long shadows.
He can score as many as he wants as long as the lafs don't win the cup. :)
Seriously though...the guy is friggin amazing. No doubt. I may not like the lafs, but I'm not biased. I know talent when I see it. In this case it's more than obvious.
This is fantastic, however, if you asked him there is only one thing that matters in this game. A cup. Thats it.
What's this video going to be called tomorrow?
Question answered.
How to stop him? Florida didn’t have too much trouble shutting him down in round 2 last year.
He sure is hard to stop in the playoffs. Along with his team. Unstoppable!
He's never been hard to stop in the playoffs.
@@lincolnmaceachern2410 unstoppable!!!!! You're welcome to come to our parade buddy
and yet they have been stopped every year, its ok you can come to Vegas and watch our parade again
@@jeffadventures1 all that matters is Aussie is the best goal scorer of all time! That's why you're obsessed with the leafs. Unstoppable!
I love Austy, hes my favorite... but he is stopped over and over. Very stoppable
It will stop itself. Those Spring tee times don't book themselves. #golfLeafsgolf
Amen ( coming from a Bruin fan, to whom it seemed "No Show Joe" Thornton was in a hurry to get to the lake every spring.)
just wait for the first round
You don't need to stop him...
Just stop 2 of the other 3 and force the team to make up the difference.
Maybe this year is the Leafs' year... but w teams like Boston, New York, Florida, Dallas, Vegas, Vancouver, Colorado and Edmonton... they'll all have a say about it.
why do people always bring up Selannes 76 goals (84 games played) in 1993 but fail to mention Mogilny who scored 76 that year in only 77 games???
Most likely due to the fact Teemu was a rookie.
Plan the parade, no really though he’s insane and only getting better. If they can get the whole team playing together they have a good shot at going deeper than they have before. Maybe even to hoist the cup.
I do agree he is an unreal talent, but ya'll need send me links of him dangling multiple opponents and scoring or creating his own shot.
my buddy is a big Matthews fan. naturally, i talk a lil shit. i don’t understand the hate Matthews gets
Where are you getting your stats? Teemu Salanne had 76 goals his rookie 1992 season after Brett Hulls 86 goals in 1991 so why wouldnt he count in the era? Mogilny 76 goals 1993...
what does "adjusted for era" exactly mean? not hating just want to know
With the nhl expansion in the 90’s, influx of international players, bigger goalie equipment and more talented goaltenders, meaner and more skilled defenders, introduction of technology for use in practice and in game, and actual rule changes, goal scoring rapidly decreased from the 80’s, to the 90’s, and especially into the 2000’s and 2010’s. I have 0 idea how they figure out the math for it but it makes sense from a common sense standpoint why era adjusted stats matter
YOU DID NOT JUST DISRESPECT ALEXANDER MOGILNY WHO ALSO SCORED THE SAME 76 GOALS IN THE SAME 92-93 SEASON BUT ONLY PLAYED 77 OF THE 84 WHILE TEEMU PLAYED ALL 84. sheeeeeesh.
im glad i wasnt the only one to notice, so much hate out there for Mogilny who sacrificed his life to come to the NHL and lead the way for so many greats. its shameful that he is not in the Hall of Fame
Marner passing 👀
Imagine tanking two years in a row perfectly enough to get players like Marner and Matthews at the top of their respective drafts. The odds of that happening are just ridiculous.
Imagine being Edmonton and tanking for like 75% of your franchise history. Also, Marner wasn't 1st overall dummy.
It doesn't happen if the pass isn't there , so marner should be getting the credit for most of the goals
How do you stop it? History has shown playoffs
Having Matthews score 77-80 goals and then STILL manage to lose in the 1st round would be pure Leafs.
I don't know. If they end up against the Bruins and play Reaves, they may do well because Bradley M is afraid of guys who can fight and the Panthers will be playing AHL players by round 2
The answer is the playoffs. That stops him cold every time.
Adjusting for era... Ok. I still find it weird when you consider Gretzky's 92… 87... Hull's 86... Mario's 85...
Adjusting for era makes sense given how much the game has changed. The size of the league, the rise of technology, the legit increased size of goaltending equipment, the influx of international players, CBA, salary cap and rule changes leading to fewer dynastic teams, there’s a reason the league went from 8gpg to half that in a decade from the late 80’s to the 90’s. Whats funny though is all of those players you mentioned, still have the all time best seasons with era adjusted lol
Would like to see Matthews get 70, but with the games getting tighter points and goals are getting harder to come by.
We will see. My guess he gets 65-67. I dont think he is getting 70 let alone 73.
Dominic Hasek
Wow, honestly hated on this guy for maybe "no reason" but gave me an entirely different outlook on the guy. Super impressive player - Avs fan
He's like the opposite of McKinnon. He's slow and scores goals like a god. As opposed to being a speed demon who chocks up good goals and great assists. Mathews overall is a better player to watch because of his shooting ability but McKinnon is better overall.
Matthews is not mackinnon fast but he is farrrr from slow lol
Let's just hope he can score his way into playing in June...
Hockey, not golf.
Idk about the whole "adjusted for era" concept. We are currently in a boon for NHL offensive production. Rule changes, streamlined goalie equipment, and cracking down on interference have opened up goal scoring again. Yes, Matthews is amazing and what he's doing is incredible.. but get used to it. We are entering another era where we are going to see some ridiculous offensive production.
Era adjustment counts that. It's based on league wide scoring.
