Auston Matthews of the Toronto Maple Leafs is on pace to score 70 goals, which hasn’t been done in the NHL since 1993 (over 30 years!). In this video I analyze how likely it is that he’s able to do it.

That is an astonishingly small number – 7635. In the HISTORY of the NHL. Over 100 years.
Every minor hockey parent should watch this video!
Very Well Done… and YES I was like "1992 wasn't THAT long ago" when you said it. 🤣
Your content is worthy of ESPN. Well done
Can he keep up this pace? Yes, will he? Probably not. Many other factors must come into play here. As the season winds down, competition stiffens, so the team as a whole needs to be better, and win a lot of the remaining 35 games. 50 for sure, 60, quite likely, but 70? All the chips will have to fall in the right place for that to happen. If only he didn't have that 9 game stretch where he got only 1 goal. I hope he gets it though, because as a leaf fan, I know there won't be anything else to cheer about aside from his personal achievement. The leafs, at this rate, will be lucky to enter the post season. We'll see…
Matts will hit 74 this year. The Leafs will line him up nicely too 😉 Let's GO!
Should really make this just about forwards and exclude defensemen and goalies.
Hes not hitting 70 . Keep dreaming leafs fans . We all know its the only thing you guys have to cheer for cause your team full of all stars is hot garbage haha
One thing about this as long he’s not injured playing hockey 🏒, that’s what about, Auston Matthews is playing a lot better and scoring goals, bless him, 👏👏👏💙🇨🇦💙👍👍
nicely analyzed, not a big Matthews fan, but would be sick to see him surpass 70
oh for god sake. who cares. you're never getting the cup and this is why. focus is on those useless 4
I’d say 20% chance at 70, 80% chance at 60 goals and a 98% chance at 50. This is assuming he’s healthy and plays all of the Leafs remaining games.
Hold up . He not there yet
By far one of the best in depth update, charts, graphs, stats on things I didn't even know you could find. Please keep it up 🤘🏼
Gretzky will always be the best ever
Chasing a second round playoff exit as well.
Somebody needs to do a highlight on mario's "cancer" season. The fact it didn't end with a cup overshadows what ACTUALLY happened that season
I forgot about the Gretz 92 goal season sweet jesus. I think that record is safe for a while.
50 in 50 will always be my measuring stick.
toronto always suck in the payoffs
you forgot Crosby had 32 goals in 41 games 2010-11 but then suffered his first concussion.
The leafs blow it they will blow this 2 😂
but who will ever score 100 goals in a season ?
I thought it was going to be last time the Leafs won the cup… or at least made it out of the first round of the playoffs
