    That’s right. 69 goals. Not “just shy of 70.”

    Matthews scored *sixty-nine* fucking goals. That puts him in the *top 20* of the league.

  2. People so focused on 70 they forget scoring 69 is still a monumental feat. Love this

    Hopefully someone grabbed the puck after tj brodie scored

  5. I can’t believe Tavares ripped that and didn’t do everything he could to try and get that puck to Mathews….

  6. Thank you, Brian! This is exactly how I feel, yes we were hoping for 70 but it’s just a +1 goals in the end.

    69 is absolutely incredible, I thought when Matthews got 60 last time he might not repeat it I was so wrong, this guy is special.

    No one has scored 69 goals in 28 years in the NHL!!! Especially in this era it’s phenomenal.

    You’re the man, Papi.

    I remember a few weeks ago the discussion was if Matthews would score 60 goals this season. 69 rules.

    I hope Keefe finally understands that putting Matthews and Marner together doesn’t work anymore.

    I’ve been crying all morning for the Arizona relocation thing. I guess I’ll just keep crying. This is just so sweet and it’s exactly how I feel about it. I cheered till the end for 70, but I’m equally proud of 69. And I’m proud of this team coming together for the big things and the small things.

    I know 70 is nice, round and even but anything above 65 was a huge accomplishment. 69 is just bonus. Tied for the most goals since ’92 and most goals in the salary cap era. Dom from The Athletic has 34 as #2 for the Hart behind MacKinnon as well. I don’t think he’ll get the Hart or really sniff at it but it’s an amazing season. I’m just glad I don’t have to hear the word “milestone” every 23 seconds.

    Brodie decides that this is the game he ends his 487373 game goal drought. Cool

    I’m kinda still chuckling at both TJ’s unintentional goal and also JT sniping an Auston-like one from Matthews’ usual spot in the dying minutes.

    Last 10 games Nylander’s productivity had been lower than Canada’s.

  14. See now I’m going to need this and the 65 print together. I feel the love from this one.

    The Cup are these boys new mission to 70. Bring it home boys.

    I got a kick out of the replays showing Mrs. Matthews clearly saying *SHIT!* after every attempt.
