This man often doesn’t get his flowers from outside our market due to the hate our franchise gets. But he just scored more goals in a season than anyone has in his lifetime. We’re truly blessed to be able to watch a top three player in the league and one of the most skilled goalscorers of all time.

He’s neck and neck with Mats for my favourite Leaf of all time…. What a player
Thanks for the effort Matthews! Absolute gem.
Can u imagine he was a Ranger or something. Theyd build the league around him and everyone would call him the greatest…… meanwhile, hes here so apparently 69 goals is a failure because it wasnt 70 and hes not even top 5 for Hart…..
I feel like as a fanbase, people just expect this kind of production from Matthews now. He’s caught in the “never enough” category now where he’s set the bar so high, that he can never top it (except maybe winning the Cup which is a team accomplishment). Like if he only scores 55 goals next season, it’ll be seen as a disappointment. Which when you think about it is pretty crazy.
Playoff success aside, we are witnessing the prime of the greatest player in franchise history. Which is saying a lot for a franchise that has existed for 100 years.
It’s so easy to take it for granted when you just expect it from him. Congratulations to Auston for an amazing season and hopefully an amazing playoffs as well.

Have you ever seen him live? It’s insane entertainment.
And Toronto is his team!
I can’t imagine him not eventually retiring as the greatest U.S. born player of all time
He will get it next year. Super happy Toronto has Auston. Go leafs go.
i was cheering for him to hit 70 yesterday in all honesty, and i’m an oilers fan. He’s good no doubt.
Highest scoring American born player of all time, and all they see is the Maple Leaf.
It’s astonishing lol.
As someone who watches his games from free streams, which are almost always the other teams feed, let me say that these broadcasts are obsessed with giving him flowers. Enough with this “they all hate us crap”. It’s this kind of self absorbed whining that makes everyone hate us. Enjoy for what it is, and stop complaining about what it isn’t.
Honestly it’s time leafs fans stop looking for the approval from others fans. Not matter what you say. They hate us and they hate the players. Fuck em.
Now let’s see him do it in the playoffs.
