Imagine living in a world where people think Connor McDavid is a better player. Auston Matthews is the most dominant goal scorer in NHL history. There is zero doubt in my mind that at retirement, he will have over 1000 goals. He's on pace to surpass that.

Eklund: Is Auston Matthews Capable of Scoring 100?

why you gotta troll us like that?

My sarcasm detector is broken.

On the off-chance you are being serious - I want some of what you are smoking.

Auston Matthews is a better player. I'd pick Matthews every day of the week.

McDavid is the most talented player in the world all day long.

Matthews is a better 2way centre all day long.

Debatable. He doesn't kill penalties. McJesus does.

LOL, no.

seriously.... when matthews goes 5-6 games without a goal I'll think of this thread

PK has nothing to do with it.

5v5 is a completely different game than special teams. Positionally, pace, flow etc. you can be a great a great pk player and not be good 5v5 defensively.

Not even close. Matthews has a better stick, better positionally, better down low in own zone, better in neutral with tracking pucks and back pressure, strips pucks - just all around a much better defensive centre.

…we are debating it right now so in that sense sure. But Matthews is 100% a better 2way centre.

Pretty sure he gets 1000 this year. NBD.

He's on the PK this season.

Maybe it’s because they both went 1st overall but I always get Auston Powere and Owen Matthews mixed up.

It'll happen long before Philly sniffs another Cup.

Philly : exactly zero elite level players, and it shows.

With Giroux gone, can anyone even name Philly's best player? Can anyone even name one of their starters? It's a roster full of has-beens and never-was'es. Poor Carter (frank)ing Hart. Guy is a decent goalie and is saddled with that parade of fail in front of him. Come back and talk trash when you have something other than butthurt.



Edit : the league should make Philly surrender the rights to Gritty. You losers don't deserve him.

Comparing your team to the worst managed sports franchise in North America. That's sad.

You all are pessimists

It's only game 2 he hasn't even warmed up yet

He will go for 200, 175 minimum

We have never seen a player like him before

Yea that's what I was thinking. He'll have 100 by US thanksgiving.

Agreed. Ryan Kesler > Wayne Gretzky.

Kesler was way better defensively, all Gretzky could do was put up 200 points per season.

One trick pony

NO NO NO NO NO NO

He's on the PK this season.

If he continues on that track then maybe he'll grab himself a Selkie.

100?

Try 200!
