Souvent, cet homme n’achète pas ses fleurs en dehors de notre marché en raison de la haine que suscite notre franchise. Mais il vient de marquer plus de buts en une saison que quiconque dans sa vie. Nous avons vraiment la chance de pouvoir voir un des trois meilleurs joueurs de la ligue et l’un des buteurs les plus talentueux de tous les temps.

He’s neck and neck with Mats for my favourite Leaf of all time…. What a player
Thanks for the effort Matthews! Absolute gem.
Can u imagine he was a Ranger or something. Theyd build the league around him and everyone would call him the greatest…… meanwhile, hes here so apparently 69 goals is a failure because it wasnt 70 and hes not even top 5 for Hart…..
I feel like as a fanbase, people just expect this kind of production from Matthews now. He’s caught in the « never enough » category now where he’s set the bar so high, that he can never top it (except maybe winning the Cup which is a team accomplishment). Like if he only scores 55 goals next season, it’ll be seen as a disappointment. Which when you think about it is pretty crazy.
Playoff success aside, we are witnessing the prime of the greatest player in franchise history. Which is saying a lot for a franchise that has existed for 100 years.
It’s so easy to take it for granted when you just expect it from him. Congratulations to Auston for an amazing season and hopefully an amazing playoffs as well.
Have you ever seen him live? It’s insane entertainment.
And Toronto is his team!
I can’t imagine him not eventually retiring as the greatest U.S. born player of all time
He will get it next year. Super happy Toronto has Auston. Go leafs go.
i was cheering for him to hit 70 yesterday in all honesty, and i’m an oilers fan. He’s good no doubt.
Highest scoring American born player of all time, and all they see is the Maple Leaf.
It’s astonishing lol.
As someone who watches his games from free streams, which are almost always the other teams feed, let me say that these broadcasts are obsessed with giving him flowers. Enough with this « they all hate us crap ». It’s this kind of self absorbed whining that makes everyone hate us. Enjoy for what it is, and stop complaining about what it isn’t.
Honestly it’s time leafs fans stop looking for the approval from others fans. Not matter what you say. They hate us and they hate the players. Fuck em.
Now let’s see him do it in the playoffs.
Top 3? He’s arguably the best in the league, plays one of the best two-way games better than McD, he’s bigger, stronger and more physical than McD and can score like no other (McD avoids hits like Kane and JG). He’s not as fast as McD but he can skate. To me at this moment Matthews is the best player in the league.
What is this revisionist BS is this? He absolutely gets recognition outside of Toronto.
So many other teams fans were cheering for him to hit 70.
Don’t need to make up fake outrage.
Fantastic hockey player. Pleasure to watch! Sick to death of the haters. Someone today said he was overrated. He’s rated as a 200 foot player who can score. 69 Goals, Selke level defensive player. How the fack is he overrated. The playoff losses are because the defense is not mobile. Not because of Matthews.
Turns out Matthews’ off season wrist surgery was actually installing a cyberpunk cybernetic wrist that makes him just rip a ton of goals.
I cannot understand how assists, let alone second assists are valued the same as goals for “points”. Basketball has assists, players have made the hall for being good playmakers and assist totals. But nobody equates them to baskets 1:1. And nobody counts an inbound to a guy that passes to a guy who scores as anything.
For my money, and I’m not a Matthew’s fan or a leafs diehard, the player that scores the most goals, which is the entire point of the sport, is the best player by definition, and the onus is on you to prove that some with a higher assist total is somehow better or “more valuable”
People hate the Leafs more than they like their own team
Not to mention his defensive side. I don’t think there has been another player that can score at the clip he does and still play as well as he does in his own end.
