13 k's as well


and he only threw 80 pitches

- homiedclown


This is insane to me

Yes it is a long season, but there has only been what? 23 perfect games in history and you're going to pull him because of a pitch count? A seasoned vet none the less...

Matthews is having the best season quite possibly seen in the last 20 years.

Guy has 51 goals in his last 51 games with elite defensive impacts.

I’d say it’s his to lose

- Pegullaville


Except for when he actually has to play defense, not just because his line always has the puck. He looked like dogpoop last night.

A seasoned vet with a history of arm problems. Remember when the Mets did that to their pitcher? It ruined his career. They knew what his max was and they stuck to it .

Sure, and this year is different because of a short spring. Starters aren't stretched out yet.

Who is throwing a perfect game and is through 7 innings...

Must have missed that part

Also if a pitcher isn't getting ready for a season months before Spring training then that's on him

That would be like Allen not working out all off season and showing up to training camp 20 pounds overweight

Coming into camp in shape is a completely different objective than getting stretched out. Again, he must have had a limit set before the game and they were smart to stick to it.

I think getting your arm warmed up for a season is a little different than coming in, in shape for any sport.

Pitchers are so delicate.. they're like paper mache

Kind of funny that the two games that Matthews looked off in we’re the games against Buffalo in the last month and a half.

In both games his team got rocked.

Did anyone even know Tavares played last night ?

Imagine we would play against every team like we do against Toronto.

Every guy busting their chops every minute.

More than if Mcdavid wasn't dishing the puck in Edmonton.
- DirtyDan


Edmonton has 2 of the top 3 scorers in the league

Toronto has 2 of the top 8

Florida has 2 of the top 17

Kaprizov should be a finalist

1 of those teams has 2 players at or above a ppg while the other players are very very..... very far behind.

Only 1 of those teams has 3 players over a ppg. (It's florida)

Take Matthews off Toronto... Still in the P offs. Hubs off Florida. Still top 10 team.

Mcdavid off the Oilers and they aren't even in the hunt for the playoffs.

With that being said Matthews will take home his first Hart trophy and I'll be hearing it everyday from my brother.

You'd have a point of he threw 9 the first day of spring training. These guys aren't stretched out yet.
