And of his 49 so far not a single one has been an empty netter, just ridiculous…
Ovechkin's favourite type of goal...
@@toke7342Na ovies favourite is just stand there not moving waiting for a pass then empty net goals lol
@@toke7342this is the only season that Ovi even has a lot of empty netters. Just shows how long he’s been playing.
@@toke7342😂
😂😂 you are not smart. I know ovetchkin only has 777 goals that aren't empty net goals but learn at least something please!! I'm begging you people. TRY to understand the basics. He would be 4th NHL HISTORY if he didn't have any empty net goals.
Im not Leafs fan, but I appreciate what he´s bringing to NHL.. Its amazing to see him scoring goals, even when he´s covered.. Hope he hits at least 70
I would say his assist on Bertuzzi's goal was pretty nuts. You could tell he was working things out and just waiting for the perfect angle to get the puck to go off Bertuzzi's stick. Unreal!
it worked so well because he wasn't looking at Bert. No telegraphing the pass whatsoever!
@@AllDayShorts247 Have to pass once in a while to keep the goalies honest when you can shoot it like he can
More impressive than his own goals 😂😂
That wasn't an assist.
The was Matthews shooting at Bert's stick and scoring.
@@andrewm8703 exactly 😂
He makes it look so easy. Even his post goal celebrations are calm and collected. He reminds me of Steve Yzerman with his demeanor.
I feel the same, man he makes it look easy.
I feel it's even more of a flex - for him it's just casual
By the end of the season he'll be mad every.time he scores
@@2010COBHC Nah its a respect thing. If its the first goal of the game or a tying goal/game winner, Matthews celebrates with a fist pump or something. However, if they are already up a couple, he keeps it low key, as putting on a big celly when you're running a team up is disrespectful.
@@KS-xk2so
This. When he scored his 3rd goal last night, the game hasn't even reached the halfway mark - there's a lot of game left to be played. Celebrating wildly at that point would be premature. That could also motivate the opponent, who knows? And we all know the Leafs are not the best when it comes to holding leads.
The list of NHL players who had 2 back to back sets of Hatties in one season is literally 3 people long. Gretzky, Bossy, Matthews. Insane.
As of the morning after that game, Matthews has more hat tricks this season than 59% of the players in the NHL have goals.
That is an interesting stat, thanks
@@chelious1973 None of what I mentioned was about career numbers? Not sure why you're talking about those...
And he had more hat tricks this year than any other TEAM in the league.
@@chelious1973 He stated that only 3 people have scored back to back hat tricks two times in one season, not who has scored back to back hat tricks once in a season. Learn to read.
The fact he may be the first 70 goal scorer since Selanne is 92 is insane
Selanne and Mogilny both hit 76 in the same season, and if Matthews did accomplish 70, he would be the first US player to hit the mark since Brett Hull. Like Auston has been absurd this season
@@alexrowdyrodrigues9716with his 60 goal season he’s blown past all US born/developed players, which is stunning considering where he grew up. Hull played in Canada until college apart from when he was a little kid. Looks like he might end up with more 50 goal seasons than any other US born player, which seems to be 3 from what I can see (LeClair).
@ericmills9839 Which is absolutely unreal because yeah, I know Brett was born Canadian and changed his nationality, so he could play internationally, but still Hull had 3 straight seasons with 70+ goals which is absolutely insane. Honestly, Matthews is in a league of his own atm amongst NHL players, and Leaf fans like myself are watching something extremely special right now. Loving every min of it
@@alexrowdyrodrigues9716 indeed it’s a marvel to watch. Brett didn’t change his citizenship, he was always dual through his mom, but as you say, went with the US as they gave him the opportunity. A loss for Canada, but there was no way Hull was making team Canada at that point in time so more power to him! Bryan Trottier on the hand, that was a bit icky and you can’t pull that move anymore per IIHF rules.
It was selannes rookie season.
Not to mention the fact that he completed his hatty last night to give the Leafs 7 goals when the Ducks still only had 7 shots.
Damn
And only played 14 mins, could have had a couple more the way he was feeling it.
That was one of the most one-sided games I've seen all year. Only other one that stands out to be was when Dallas dummied Nashville last week. Think it 4-0 after the first and the shots were 18-1. Same final score too iirc
@dannypike8648 last night Florida stomping Tampa was another one.
Man I love being able to watch him play on my favorite team every game
His one timer is definitely better this year but something that’s gone so underrated is Rielly, Nylander and Marners passing has been unreal this year. Always in his sweet spot when he wants it. What a treat it has been to watch Marner and Matthews together
ya marner is an amazing passer
Marner is one of the best passers in the game. People love to look at assist stats but what tends to get overlooked is that actual quality of passing. He makes what should be high risk passes look clean and simple.
That first goal was ridiculous.
Carlsson was playing great defence and Matts made him look like Marty Marincin out there.
Sick feed from Knies, too.
I was just talking about Marty Marincin last night. With Lagesson now hurt and Rielly still out, the Leafs D core is so shallow, they are starting to pull some real bums outta the Marlies to start lol reminded me of the Marincin years. If Marty was starting, you knew you had several D men on the IR.
Do you realy think that Carlsson was playing Great defens lllooll he was just looking at mattews he was playing horribel in The defens and The same whit silverfberg he was just standing there and doing absolutly nothing very very bad defens work llooolll
@@hanslilja3873 He stayed with him pretty well.
That wasn't John Scott he was covering. That's the best scorer of his generation.
So yes, I do think Carlsson was playing as good of defence as he could against a Top-5 player in the league
@@hanslilja3873 what are you even talking about do you have eyes? Carlsson was clearly boxing Matthews giving him little to no room and yet all Matthews need is to just grab his stick once he was able to get a hold of his stick Carlsson immediately hit the stick trying so desperately to not let him shoot and yet it was hopeless. He did everything he possible can, he tried so hard and yet it was never enough. I have never seen a player where all they need is to just get a hold of his stick and can score even if they don't have space, even if their stick is getting hit. It's insane. Matthews is a whole different species at this point this season, he is not playing like a human being.
@@jayp.6166 you have to say for such a young player Carlsson is very good at defense, I can't imagine how he will be like when he gets older. This guy has such defensive awareness and have great reflexes, as soon as Matthews got control of his stick and put it on the ground he immediately followed up and got his stick and forechecked Matthews. I barely see any young player do that at all. Even if I am a Leafs fan I felt bad for him, the guy tried so hard and his efforts went down the drain, he did everything he could and he never stood a chance. I am just shocked Jay I watched the replay like 6 times. Matthews clearly didn't have much space to even shoot, Carlsson put his stick and yet with such little space he just shot so quickly with power. Unbelievable. I can't believe he scored that goal. If it was anyone other than Matthews I highly doubt someone can score that goal.
"We should have known when he scored four goals in his 1st game."
Some people did. And they were laughed at by fans of other teams when they said it.
He not only scored 4 goals in his first game but embarrassed some seasoned players taking the puck from them like utter rookies.
and this guy's 26... hes not new to the league but hes starting his full career. next few years he will be deadly
This guy has got to start getting some Hart attention. Im not saying he's a walk off favourite with the seasons Kuch and Mac are having but when you're near the top of hat-trick list dominated by Gretzky and Lemieux... you know its a special season.
a few years ago i remember analysts talking about differences between him and Ovie and a big one was that Matthews rarely had multi goal games compared to Ovie. he's certainly changed that
I feel like if he hits 70 it should almost be a lock, been over 30 years since it's happened. Especially if no one else gets 60. Closest right now is Reinhart at 39, who's also having an amazing season, but he's also played three more games than Matthews. Unless someone else gets over 150 points I don't know how he wouldn't be near unanimous. And that's not even looking at the defensive side of things, he's top 5 for forwards right now in blocked shots and takeaways.
@@ilfautdanser9121 Even before this year Matthews scored 2 like it was a bodily function, I understood got that knock on him.
@@dannypike8648reinhart also has 22 powerplay goals lmao, matthews is at 13.
Matthews also went 10 games with only 1 goal and has the most posts in the league. Reinhart is also one dimensional whereas matthews is league leader in takeaways (or takeaway:giveaway ratio, can’t remember exactly), most blocked shots and hits on Toronto for forwards, 55% on faceoffs.
Matthews is becoming insane on defense (also on pk now) while breaking offensive records at the same time.
I've been callling him "Matty 2 goals" for years. He's been getting 2 goal games like crazy his whole career. It was the hat tricks that were eluding him. Boy has he changed that narrative this year.@@ilfautdanser9121
It’s crazy that This Maple Leafs Team Don’t have A Stanley Cup Yet dame Matthew’s deserve it
Ovi only has one plus the East is really damn good, Boston and Tampa being elite for a while now and the Panthers are joining in on the onslaught. It will happen eventually.
He’s def the best goal scorer right now
AM34 IS ON 🔥🔥🔥 and let it be known he tied Mario for 6 hattys in a season
Dont go to a leafs game theres a high chance you lose your hat 🧢 Mattews is the goat of scoring 🐐
The goat? He hasnt won shit.
@@bobabooey4537 he will this year
@@bobabooey4537you’re acting like cup amount = skill
@@JJonny0_0.😂☠️☠️☠️
@@bobabooey4537 He's won the rocket twice, which is literally the goal scoring award... OP said he was the goat of scoring, not just the goat.
He will be the best goal scorer of his generation
maybe even all time, his goals per game so far in his career is a full .11 higher than gretzky and ovie
I remember a few months ago when a video was made about MacKinnon and him possibly being a good pick for the Hart trophy. And even though I'm an Avs fan and would love to see MacKinnon snag that trophy for his case, I think Matthews is definitely deserving of it for what he is doing this year with his scoring. It's incredible.
The thing that people tend to forget is that MVP is not the “best” player in the league, it’s the most _VALUABLE_ to _YOUR_ team.
The leaf’s are kind of ass this year (for their standard) and without matthews who knows where the hell they’d be…
I don’t think any one single player has positively affected their team as much as Matthews has. I think the leaf’s will go on a tear to end the season but we’ll see what happens
Hopefully he can actually do this in the playoffs
He’s a different player this year, you never know man
Me too. Would rather see him score 20 in the playoffs than 70 in the regular season. Leafs are very likely going to face Florida or Boston and those teams are physical. And sadly leaf stars tend to disappear when it gets physical
Round 1 he was fat and away our best most clutch forward but yeah he dropped off in round 2
@@WalkableBulb90520 would be an all time nhl record
@@wnsbug exactly. Lol. 20 is unlikely in the playoffs, but if he only scores 2 or 3 with the year he's having. That would be unacceptable. Lol
I think it’s only been very recently that his one timer has been working. Previously, he always shot wide or not well placed. If he can consistently get his one timer on, it’s scary how many goals he can add to his tally
I think that Knies, Marner, and Matthews line should stay together because they just click. Knies is the digger, Marner is the set-up man, and Matthews is the finisher. Marner is always looking for Matthews, and he makes the call if he likes the set-up. And passing,.....oh my goodness, Mitch delivers perfect passes. Those are 3 guys who know their roles and strive to execute those roles to the best of their ability. Reminds me of the Gaudereau, Tkachuk, and Lindstrom line in Calgary a couple of years ago.
Two years ago he said he was working on his one tees , boom after inserting it to his play he became a 40 goal guy to a 60 goal guy , crazy
By the end of his playing career, I'm pretty confident that Matthews name will be mentioned along with Dave Keon, Borje Salming, Wendel Clark, Doug Gilmour and Mats Sundin as among the greatest players to wear blue-and-white. His reputation for that alone is pretty much secure already. He wins a cup in a leaf uniform? No way he's not considered the single greatest Leaf in history.
Bro your commenting is one of the best to listen to! Keep it up!
if matthews gets 72 goals this season he would be tied with ovechkin for the same goals throughout 8 seasons, even though he has more goals per game the ovechkin ovechkin had played more games throughout less seasons, but if matthews can catch his pace by season wide then it's even crazier because oh how much less games he played, ovechkin played almost every game throughout thoes 8 season but matthew has so many injuries and still matching him is alien level talent
And the half lockout season!
@@DropBear_42 matthews has missed 95 games if he plays the rest of the season without missing a game, while through the 8 season ovechkin missed 55 games, this is all thinking that every season should be up to 82 games and both matthews and ovechkin has couple of seasons where it was shortened but that still important in this topic
Give him the rocket richard trophy now!
I have to agree, it's been a number of years since I've watched any sort of hockey, growing up its always been my number 1 sport, but watching Matthews play on the ice and bury that puck in the net is really next-level hockey. Hope he can keep up the great momentum and continue bringing the tears of joy to his mom's face and fascinate all hockey fans with the sheer excitement and exhilaration that is NHL hockey.
After last year's down year battling the wrist injury his bounce-back to being the best goal scorer in a league that has so many snipers is incredible. The one-timer from the right side has been near unstoppable (today he misfired from that position). He seems destined to be a part of that group that includes Bossy, Hull, and Ovechkin. Perhaps Lemieux should be included, but perhaps not to the extent of Gretzky, I tend to see him as a playmaker who could score (and score a lot) rather than a pure goal scorer.
It's a fun time to be a fan of the game with so much talent in the game.
bro 10 hattys in a season, TWO SEASONS IN A ROW WTF
I like how he isn’t a hot dog… game tying goal, or first goal? A goal that gives a lead or OT? Sick celly. Oh we’re up 3? Lemme jus glide back to the bench respectfully. He’s a beast
This is all the proof you need that he was playing injured last season, and he still managed to put up 40, but as a Leaf fan, this is awesome and definitely history in the making, now some people are talking about him passing gretzky (or ovi when he hits it) scoring record, he might not get it, but I feel he'll be close, what do you think (btw I love your content man, keep up the great work!)
That wrist fully healed now
Can we take a moment to appreciate the fact Johnny is so consistent with his posting.
I can’t remember the last time I’ve gone several day’s without good content being released from Johnny here, s/o to you man, keep it up, the content is appreciated!
Maple Leafs has so much amazing talent in their team... It's an absolute mystery to me how they were not able to achieve something great in playoffs yet...and I am not sure if they will achieve something this year either
You can’t look at where they lost without acknowledging who won. capitals in year one, the season before their Cup run. Boston and Tampa twice each who everyone admits have been juggernaut teams, but no one wants to recognize that when putting the Leafs down. And yet all of those series went to 6-7 games. So it’s not like they bowed out meekly. The Columbus loss was embarrassing, and whatever you think of Montreal and Florida, they both ended up going to the Finals the year they beat the Leafs, so if we weren’t supposed to lose to them, it’s fair to say the same about the 4 other teams that lost to them too.
4 of the last 8 teams they teams they faced in the playoffs went to Cup Finals the year they beat them.
Reminds me of the Capitals. Ovi likely has more rings if he didn’t consistently run into Crosby and the Penguins in the 2nd round every year.
@@danielbaldwin2390 Quite a surprise seeing someone in the comment section who knows what they're talking about.
Leafs always get the hardest teams right off the bat because of the way the playoffs are seeded. I think their current team is really starting to come together finally, but obviously a lot will have to go right.
@@sir_john_hammond they need to go back to 1-8, but they won’t because every change they’ve made created the illusion of parity. The number of top seeded teams that get knocked out early since the change is atrocious. But it lets more lower seed teams go forward and Bettman can say “look how competitive the league is.”
@@danielbaldwin2390typical leafs fans always finding excuses lol. Matthew’s will leave in 2 years and y’all will be in the basement especially with that dogshit gm treliving
Special player
Watching the All Star Special and in interviews with his teammates one can see Matthews is a really nice guy and team first kind of guy.
And watching him play I think part of his success is that he is a strong skater and almost impossible to knock off his feet.
48 goals in 52 games and he’s on pace for 74 goals after 53 team games
When you look at the list of players with the most hat-tricks in a season, it's crazy to see him on there with pretty much all legends and there are no other players on that list since the mid 90's, almost 30 years ago.
Matthews setting up in the left-handed Ovie office has been an awesome addition to his game.
Not a Leafs fan but Matthews is without the best pure goal scorer in the league right now
As a lifelong Leafs fan and a bit of a historian on them, I’m not sure the fans are comprehending that not only is Matthews the best scorer in Leafs history, but he’s the best by an embarrassing amount. He’ll most likely catch Mats Sundin’s for the Leafs scoring record by next year, in 2/3 of the games. For a team as old as the leafs, they’ve never had an incredibly prolific scorer to much of any degree in the century they’ve been around, and Matthews is one hell of an explosive scorer to expose that.
Love what he’s and doing and I’m not even a laughs fan really hope he can keep up this production in his 30s like ovi. I genuinely hope he can because ovi only maintained his goal scoring for so long due to “ovi’s office”
It really seems like the NHL is hitting another level of offensive production from elite players. Matthews 60 goals in 2021-22, McDavid 60+ goals and 150+ points in 2022-23, Pastrnak 60+ goals in 2022-23, Matthews on pace for 70+ goals, Hughes and Makar on pace for 96 points, etc. Also the players who are stars but not among the best such as Nugent-Hopkins (104 points in 2022-23), Hyman (83 points in 2022-23, on pace for 52 goals in 2023-24) and Reinhart (98 point pace), and many other players having great offensive seasons.
Right now is undoubtedly the best hockey I've seen from the NHL since I started watching.
A Mexican heritage kid from Arizona doing this is bananas. Born in Cali I know but doesn't matter. This guy is bonkers
Been a leafs fan My whole life
It’s nice to have a legitimate superstar
Great breakdown.. Impressive
Well said! Great video
at first i was questioning the 13.5 million dollar contract but matthews is holding up
It's been such a blast to watch.
I love ALMOST everything about Matts.
I just wish he used his size a little more.
The guy is a monster and could truck-stick dudes if he wanted to.
A little more snarl to his game would make him very close to the perfect player.
not to mention he leads the league in posts hit with like 15+
His shooting percentage is at his highest so far at a sick 21.3% but that's after the 2nd hatty. Hopefully he can keep it over 19-20% by the end of the season and in the play offs. Last season he had his second highest amount of shots in a year but his s% was at his lowest most likely because he wasn't healthy and wrist not a 100%.
I mean since day 1 his goal tallies have been very comparable to Alex Ovechkin’s early career years
dude is 26 and he has the 4th most goals on this original six hockey club
old timer here. on average and in my opinion, players today are bigger, faster, and more talented than back in my day. even more dramatic is the improvement in the skill of goalies. today they can skate well. add their size, coaching, and equipment, and it is tough to score. i bet some of these skaters today could score at will in the way back. but, there is a big deficiency today in hockey basics, positional play is terrible and no one knows how to either throw a check or tie a guy up effectively. half of today's goals are scored by guys standing untouched in front of the net. i was a small center and i was really afraid of getting knocked on my can just as the shot was coming in from the point. i was always going to get thumped in front of the net. geesh, we even checked more in front of the net in summer hockey. today's players are soooo talented, but the game is almost no check pond hockey. beer leagues are more ferocious than an NHL game. i have noticed over the past few years that the teams that play solid positional hockey and check well seem to be in the later rounds of the playoffs.
..one Gordon Howe hat trick or scoring in the playoffs would be nice..
Ovi will be the first to 900 . AM34 if he stays healthy will be the first to 1000 . Heard it here first and crazy thing is it's not that bold of a prediction .
Matthews is the SUPERSTAR WE HAVE NEVER HAD HERE IN TORONTO...
LEGEND!!!!
Best player in the world. He also had 2 assists last night for the goofs that say he doesn't pass. Sure assists are important but what's the absolute best way to Help your team win hockey games? Score fucking goals......Smd haters, you all wish he was on your team.
I'm a die hard Leafs fan and I love Matthews... but all the goals and all the hat tricks in the world mean nothing if we can't get a Stanley Cup. We need a closer.
Matthews is in elite company, like Mario & Wayne
Maybe we’ll get past the second round for once
He saw Pasta and McDavid break 60 last year and thought “yeah I can top that”
He's already hit 60 before
What's the record for goals to assists ratio? He's gotta be high up on that one..
1
He's on pace to be the next Mike Modano... Perhaps even the American GOAT.
Great video. I’m trying to make videos like this
PAPI IS GETTING 70+ THIS YEAR!
According to most non leaf fans Matthews would be nothing without Mitch marner 🤣🤣🤣
Incredible performance, and it's been great to see. He probably would have hit 50 last night if Keefe kept putting him out there, he's that kind of hot right now and the Ducks looked awful. Don't think Matthews saw the ice much if at all in the 3rd; think he was under 15 minutes of ice for the night?
Auston 3:16 says, I JUST GOT ANOTHER HAT TRICK 💙🤍
Imagine what this kids legacy could be if he would show up during the playoffs
I don't care if the Leafs win or lose, its just so much fun watching Mathews!!
Now all he needs to do is replicate this scoring in the playoffs
Won’t happen. First round exit.
Lightning fan but can't disagree with any of this... 🤷🏻♂He has been lights out this season...
Marner do not forget about the passin assassin' marner
Can we get a vid about the Jets-Canuks game please? Great vid as always
he's a beast
Pardon my ignorance, but is the reason why Gretzky’s 90+ goal season hasn’t been touched, is because the league is more difficult? Obviously shooting has changed, but is there a reason most aren’t hitting that crazy of a number?
Thanks. Sorry guys, I’m just getting into hockey and am unaware.
100 goals this year including post season
0:49
TOE DRAG RELEASE
Makes scoring look so easy
Let's just hope he saves some for the playoffs this year.
For once,
25 goals in post season, just watch
The GLOAT a lot of Leaf fans don't realise what we are witnessing. I said it at the beginning of the season we might be seeing a pissed-off healthy 34.
What about Tavares and his 9 even strength goals this season? Where's the love?? 🤣
Hahah starts off with…Look… I know I’ve been talking to much about the Leafs but
Please keep making leaf content
He is among the best, but might very well get passed everyone
and they're still a borderline playoff team.
I'm a Wings but I have to say that Matthews is so successful because of that badass mustache.😂
Best American goal scorer ever
How likely do you think it is that he threatens Gretzky's goal record? He's gotta be in the top 5 for sure by the end of his career (barring injury issues and lockouts)
Unless he has the longevity of Ovi it’s not happening
I think Ovi beats it first.
If he stays healthy and stays at this pace he easily beats it. Hard part is staying healthy and competitive into his late career. That's what's made Ovi ao amazing
assuming he scores 70 this season he would need to average about 53 goals per season over the next 10 seasons (which would put him at 37 years old). I think it is highly unlikely.
too bad he can’t score all the way to The Stanley’s Cup in playoffs
He's the BOMB! 🏒💛
As a Leafs fan, all we need now is defense
He will be close to the top at the end... depends if he slows down at 35-37, or if he can put a few 60+ seasons together to make up for an eventual downfall. He will break 900... Guys gonna be in top 100 before end of next year and hes what.... 26 or 27?
He's pretty good
one word....GOAT
Matthews is the NHL equivalent to guys like Tyson or the Texas rattlesnake
he is just restructuring his out look of the ice, having to adjust to the new age of players, maybe one season to study the new styles of game play, and then when the time is right, no holds bard on the scoring. if he doesnt pass gretzky it will be by choice to respect the title, yet im sure he will settle in nice and close, giving the wink saying it can be done, yet do we want to shift the names or should we just leave them as they are for the sake of it?
MVP
