    Can't wait to see some of the trophy winners this year. Maker or Josi for the Norris. I'd take Josi, but that's just me. Hart is a BATTLE this year, although with both 60 goals and over 100 points I think that Matthews gets the edge there.

    You can only have 3 nominated. Definitly a good season. I think Zegras has worked himself into the convo and Raymond has played himself out.

     

    No love for Swayman anywhere I read. Kind of surprised by that

    lol…I already stated above he’s my clear #1. I think he’s already on a different level. Pronger 2.0.

    I got two words for you, James: Brian. Savage. Hockey's Mr. October!

     

    I know what would put an end to the debate. All Leafs players need to do is actually achieve milestones that are unquestionable from any angle. Like winning the Stanley Cup, for instance. 

     

    I guess that none of this matters is Matthews scores 0 or 1 and the Leafs get bounced in the first round again. Regular season means nothing without career playoff success. My hope is that it took Stamkos and the Lightning years before they finally broke through. Still time for my Leafs.

    I think it's weird that hockey folks are disqualifying the 50 in 50 because it's not at the start of the season. I understand that this is a specific stat, no problem (beginning from game one), but who is the last player to score 50 goals in any 50-game span? That has to be some pretty rare company.

     

    Also, couldn't it potentially be easier to score 50 goals in the first 50 games? Games could be seen as less meaningful? Team chemistry might be lower? Players slow to re-accommodate to the NHL's pace? Just throwing ideas out there. Obviously these aren't solid facts.


    Last…Lemieux in the 90’s

    Cam Neely did it too, but like you said, the NHL only recognizes the accomplishment from the start of a teams schedule. I think it's viewed more like a race, with team games being the markers. Theoretically, you could hit 50 in 50 over separate seasons. Would that have to be considered as the same accomplishment? 

     

    I think it just makes for simpler accounting to go with team games vs goals. But that doesn't mean what Matthews did is any less impressive, IMO

     

    Interesting thought. I know that baseball recognizes stats in separate seasons. For example, Jordan Romano just boke the Jays record with 26 straight un blown saves. Obviously he only has 3 on the year.

     

    Either way, I view it as impressive that these guys can score 50 goals in any straight 50 games. As @James said, even Ovi never did that.

    I'm curious of people's opinions on the topic (hoping un biased both ways), but Matthews scored 50 goals in 50 games. The first since Lemieux in the 90's, but the NHL only recognizes 50 in the first 50 games as a thing. Personally I think 50 in 50 is the same thing, but I suppose my take doesn't matter to the NHL. Read a cool article on the topic and it was funny.

     

    A paragraph in the article must have been written after interviewing @Vegeta though...

     

    And at this point, I don't even know if it's [? just ?] because there's, like, a whole-- it's a rivalry thing. Like, I don't understand why non-Leafs fans are so hesitant to say, hey, Auston Matthews has 50 goals in his last 50 games. That's pretty cool. I don't get it. Now it's turning into, like, oh, no, he actually didn't. Cole Caulfield is better.

    Seider for me, too. The kid is so solid, rarely out of position, and so calm. I gonna continue to give Yzerman big kudos for drafting this kid so early. 

     

     


    right…how many people ragged on Stevie for the pick. Looks brilliant now
