[Jonas Siegel] Auston Matthews is only 76 goals from catching Mats Sundin for the Maple Leafs franchise goals record. He’s played in 449 fewer games than Sundin to this point.

    Dude realized he hadn’t scored in a while so took 7 mins out of his day to nab 3 quick ones.

  2. That’s 14g pace per season to catch him in the same amount of games lol

  3. Syn3rgetic

    Looking at the way things are going, he might break it next season.

  4. Syntactical

    Assuming he finishes this year with 70, he could conceivably catch Sundin next year, needing to get 51 more goals to tie.

  5. Big_Albatross_3050

    He took those goal drought allegations personally lmao

  6. silentswift7

    This is absurd, Papi going down at the leafs goat if he can get to even a conference final.

  7. Mrfantastic2

    Ridiculous lol hes the best goal scorer we’ve ever had

  8. DontToewsM3Bro

    It’s shame the core wouldn’t even take 1 mil less each (minus Reilly)

    Leafs are wasting this man prime years

  9. juliusseizure

    Does anyone know how to normalize for linemates like hoglund?

    Goals mean nothing if you cant win 2 games in the second round.

    This is going to be a crazy take on reddit, but winning matters more than goals and points. Is winning the only thing that matters no, but i want to hear nothing about these comparisons until matthews leads the team to a deep playoff run.

    Dudes 1000% probably the best player skill wise we’ve ever had, id still rather have sundin.

    What still really impresses me just as much is if Matthews can score now 18 more goals this season, which has decent probability, he will have more goals than any other player cumulative since 2015-2016 (a year before he started).

  12. stephenlipic

    Sundin played during the dead puck era, so the amount of games obviously would favour Matthews.

    That said, having watched the entire Sundin era and now watching the Matthews era, Matthews is the most dominant player I’ve ever seen.

  13. Guys a machine what can you say.. will be one of the greatest scorers when it’s all said and done.

  14. He’ll be under 30, (Canucks legend) Mats was 38 when he retired.

  15. CanadiaYall

    Dude scored 40 last year with one wrist and people were talking about him like he fell off. He’s the GLOAT.
