Matthews and the 50 in 50 Pace…
Hitting 50 goals in 50 games is a rare achievement. Maurice Richard, Mike Bossy, Mario Lemieux, and Brett Hull have done it. Wayne Gretzky scored 50 in 42 games once, and 39 games in another. Let’s just put this right here. Auston Matthews is on a pace for 50 goals in 28 games. Can it be done? Not likely, but my money says he beats #99’s 39 game feat.
Comparing Matthews…
Brian Burke, on Hockey Central at Noon, compared Matthews to a couple great snipers – Mike Bossy and Brett Hull.
