NHL Transactions, Injuries & Rumours

Frans Nielsen on waivers

Matthews is just too good!!!

Y’all think he has a 60+ goal year in him?

Yeah. But scoring is a lot higher than when ovi did it, I'd think.

But matthews is pretty sick.

Yah he’s pacing well beyond that anyways. Clearly the best goal scorer in the league since he’s entered the nhl

So best leaf ever is an American

He's a ways to go before unseating Mats. Still hasn't won shit.

Tbf, neither did mats...

[Da_Hawks]

He has quite a bit more playoff success. No ultimate trophy, but quite a bit more success. And he never looked like a child molester.

Panarin taking a leave of absence from NYR

Meh

Many of the best players to play for American teams have been Canadian. Not a big deal. Especially when you consider Matthews may go down as the greatest American born player ever (long way to go but he is trending that way)

When Matthews can prove he can perform when it counts and not just racking up points in the reg season, then we'll talk.

[KapG]

When Matthews can provide he can perform when it counts and not just racking up points in the reg season, then we'll talk.

Hahahaha

Funny thing is their ppg isn’t thet far off lmao

Leaf fans want a cup, we don't give a flying fuck how stylish you look or how many points you get. Just get'er done.

No shit

Sundin never got it done either soooooooo.......I’ll take the guy who is looking to be the greatest goal scorer the game has seen since prime ovechkin.

Sundin has gotten much closer and dominated with much lesser teams. AM has an All-Star cast and is failing. He's got many years left to be the best, but the dude needs to rally an entire team. If he wins, it'll be epic.

[Matthew]

I'd say pastrnak/matthews is still up for debate for best goal scorer. Pastrnak has slightly better goal/game over this and last season than matthews.

[kyuss]

looks like D.Stepan is out for the season, shoulder surgery. #BBKLWild

[kimmer]

lol
whoever that doesn't agree that Matthews will be the greatest goal scorer ever to live NEXT to Ovechkin is quite a fool
they really need to watch more hockey on a regular basis

Only if his little princess wrists hold up long enough.

yes, i think the whole wrist thing is overplayed (media)
like yes, keefe just mentioned in words: "it's been a lingering issue for quite a while"
media spins it as omfg, matthews been hurt and they just realized they need to rest him

no, it just means hes had minor lingering pain that doesnt warrant surgery or long term downtime... bodies go thru pains and aches in hockey. hes a superstar. they wont just sit him for lingering pain.
i tweak my wrist walking my fucking dog... it lingers for like 3 weeks sometimes
pro hockey will do something similar or worse for an elite human specimen like AM34.

if it was that grave of a concern, he would've sat out/consulted for elective surgery a long time ago
i fully support still, of them taking every precaution for him as he's gone down long term with injuries before

[Matthew]

Over last year and this year

Pastrnak = 57 goals in last 82 games
Matthews = 65 goals in last 90 games = 59 goal over 82 gm pace

To say matthews will be head and shoulders the next greatest goal scorer to ever live after ovi when he's barely beating current competition is pretty bold. He's had a great 20 game start to the season though.

Also, Mike bossy was pretty good.
