There won’t be another goal scorer like ovi. Talking about hitting and scoring. Some of those hits he used to throw were insane. Idk how his body still works.

Auston Matthews out here with the same head shape as Steve from Minecraft.

One loves a dictator, and one is a Leafs great.

Ovi doesn’t have the best beard but it’s much better than Matthew’s creep ‘stache

I think Ovi had a slight lead in hits

The Ovi era is beginning to end.

Heads 5 is crazy

How many of those extra blocked shots are with his forehead? He has a natural advantage, not fair.

Mathews has a long way to go before he’s considered a “great”. Don’t get me wrong, fantastic start to his career, but Ovi has proven longevity. Time will tell for Mathews. If he keeps up this pace and stays healthy he could be one of the greatest ever.

Love it…. Lol

Comeon! That’s gotta be at least SLIGHTLY altered right? RIGHT?? Lol

It’s a weird thing to compare Matthews is the best right now, ovi will be the best there ever was, it would be worth comparing if Matthews continues this pace for another decade and stays healthy but a lot of players have had 2-7 season burst and then faded away

Five head, lol.

If Auston is gonna keep blocking that many shots he’s not gonna be healthy enough to beat Ovi

You sure that’s only 5 heads?

That hit total for Ovi is insane

Mathews has to focus on hits, less heads

Ovi did it in a tougher era for scoring than Matthews and Matthews was also surrounded by offensive juggernauts, and on a team that gave zero fucks about defense. It’s not a comparison, Ovi was flat out better

Lmao the heads is killing me

Sure Ovi leads in hits.
Matthews leads in all other defensive type metrics…by a LOT as well.
While Matthews is nowhere near getting close to being the best goal scorer of all time, he’s on his way.
Even if he doesn’t get there, it’s more than likely he’ll be the best goal scorer of all time among two-way players.
Errour
To put the whole “Matthews has a chance for the all-time goal record” into perspective. After his first 8 seasons, Ovi averaged 45.1 goals per seasons over his next 10 seasons. Matthews has averaged 44.6 in his first 8 years of his prime.

People are so quick to crown Matthews when he has more goals at a similar point in their careers, but it’s really ovis longevity that is the freakish part of his game. Am has the unfortunate wrist injury that hopefully won’t nag him going forward.

The combination of Ovi’s goalscoring and physicality will probably never be seen ever again, absolute bonker numbers

Wish Matty hit a little more
Look at era adjusted stats… Stop cherry picking
“Heads”… is that a comment on 34’s hairline?
