Love him or hate him, you gotta respect him!
Best goal scorer in the league right now
Got the Lemieux 66 🤘🏻
Go Leafs, GO!!
This is Biebers boy.
Impressive shot
Coach chips going to make a banger video off of this
I live in Toronto. I couldn't be happier!!!
Ovechkin is the GOAT and this kid is an imposter!
Chances are Matthews can end 70 and 40 goals and assists which would be incredible and I'm not even a Leafs fan. I just cheer for him. With this one goal per game and assist. He could very well end of with 70 and 42-43 which you cannot lie would be incredible. Hopefully he can keep up the pace.
Non-hockey market American kid dominating the league. You love to see it
Its crazy how many points players are getting the last several years. I imagine a combination of rule changes plus smaller goalie pads?
Why is Ovechkin the comparison? Season record is 92 by Gretzky, and there’s still plenty of others between those two.
As a Leafs fan we gotta be proud.. We may never see a playoff win so we take whatever we can get 😊
He'll hit 70 in a week and shoot 80 the first week of May. I love my Leafs fans who can't grasp why a team fails so badly in the postseason when their center has 38 assists. Either they move him to wing or trade him, that's how this fairy tale ends. Hey go Leafs go baby lol
Needs to be said: Domi is playing some outstanding hockey, and he might be the most generous player in the league.
Ovi doesn't have anything on Matthews.
People will hate him because he wears Blue and White.
BROS A DEMON OUT THERE WITH THAT NASTY RELEASE 😮
AM with 66, best goal scorer in the modern era, great to see and be a part of.
Allen literally had his number
Ovi isn't worth a used puck bag
Best player to get knocked out of the playoffs.
He wont go distance at all
It’ll be cool if he gets 71 and gets in the top 10 of all time.
we're back in a high goal scoring era though
he just snaps it so damn fast
lol would love to see buddy at 38 years old scoring 30 like Ovi did tonight. Matthews is unreal right now but to sustain the goal scoring I just don’t see it
cool, he better not win mvp tho.
Who could’ve predicted this from his first game in league he was made for this
Where is the "A" on his jersey?
Man I hope he gets the 70.
So if this is in 1080p why cant game recaps be in 1080p?
Matthews wouldnt even hit 60 in the 2007-2008 season that ovi hit 65 in. It's a Waaay easier scoring era we are in now.
Good Goal For Matthews!!!!🍁🥅💪🏻✌️
Steven Stamkos has 39 he's a scoring beast right now. It would be a miracle if he finishes the season with 50 goals.
Things I’ve learned this season of hockey, Toronto is “toxic” because of expectations from the fan base. And thank goodness for rempe, because without him I wouldn’t even have watched any NHL,
Auston getting closer with 4 games left Go Leaf Go
Commentator doesn't remember his NHL history. 3 mote, and he can match Mile Bossy as well. Only when Bossy did it, the season was 80 games.
Hope he gets 70
nice but cup wont come to toronto anyway
Matthews and Mcdavid are the new Ovi and Crosby. Let’s see how the next 10 years unfold, and if they can maintain such high performance levels the same way Ovi and Sid did.
Honestly, this guy scores so many key goals that either tie the game late, break the tie very late, or win it in OT. A true staple in this team's success.
Yall only hate him because he plays for the Maple Leafs. Just admit it already 😂
