How crucial is 70 goals to Matthews’ Hart case? | OverDrive Hour 1 | 04-11-24

[@joshuatinney4712]

Years ago I was in New Zealand on a trip, and the Leafs were playing the Bruins in the playoffs. Took my jersey with me and found another Ontarian wearing theirs wandering around Auckland. It was pretty cool to bond over something that was happening 10's of thousands of kilometres away. Keep spreading the Go Leafs Go O-dog!

Jonas is awesome when he listens.

Odog is gonna be that old naked man at the gym talking to people in the changing room

[@dangraesser5341]

It's so nice to see that what I have preached daily about the leafs on here. ..Brandon in the comments below said it as well!! This team has zero killer instinct!

[@StoicNature444]

Prepare a good recipe for your words.

[@mikechar17]

1:15 ask him again i think he liked it

[@Brandon-go2ke]

Most people are conveniently ignoring that 'killer instinct" factor.

[@Gum_Cuzzler]

O’s highschool bully instincts just kick in whenever he’s in a room with Jonas. I wonder if he steals his lunch money offscreen

[@karolkosakowski5160]

Why cant Leafs score deals like these trades and good signings the way Vegas does ??

[@benjaminh7257]

No state tax in Nevada and players avoid Canada

[@anza7522]

Because the Leafs are joke franchise 😂

[@marchansen3915]

Who cares if he gets 70 he's the best goal scorer in the league and one of the top defensive players. Hart Selke Lady Bing he deserves a cup and so do we. GLG

[@BC-th3mx]

Ovechkin will break Gretzky's goal record, and then Matthews will break his

[@JDI85]

He needs a cup aswell to truly be in that company

[@That90sShow]

​@jonathaniliffe4397 you need cups to break goal records? Dumbass

[@mgriffin4297]

Why bring Jonas back?? Just leave it as O-Dog and Hayes. The guy ruins the show.

[@ozzydo2314]

My union reads and doesnt respond.

[@jimlangdon1947]

With fewer goals last year - the Leafs finished higher in the regular season standings. So how does that possibly support that Matthews wins a Hart as league MVP this year just for scoring 70 goals?

[@JDI85]

70 goals is 70 goals Jimmy

[@redherring4119]

Because goals is the hardest thing to do consistently in the NHL. Its not "just 70 goals". Its 70 goals while being one of the league's very best forwards defensively and literally carrying his team. He leads all forwards in +/-. He scored 68 on a team that is amongst the worst in the league for Power play opportunities. He has 51 even strength goals. Only 10 players in history have done that before. He probably won't win but you have to name him as a nominee just to recognise the achievement. Even at his current tally of 68, you have to nominate him.

[@jimlangdon1947]

@@redherring4119 He is a great goal scorer like Selanne and Hull. That is awesome. He will get the Trophy for his great goal scoring. But Gretzky, Mario and McDavid have both goal and assists records consistently in the top 25 NHL levels. Auston doesn’t. Matthews weakness is his assist records are between 33% & 50% of the current top 25 NHL players. That is a serious weakness and why Zack couldn’t score 40 goals with the Leafs. Leaf Fans are avoiding assessing why the $50 Million Leaf Core 4 (the common denominator in all these Leaf Core 4 playoff disappointments) have zero playoff runs because they are missing attributes they were/are paid for. There were paid to win in the playoffs - but didn’t.

[@jimlangdon1947]

@@JDI85 That is why Auston gets the trophy for goals. Weaknesses in Matthews passing skills - are why Zack scored 40 in Edmonton and why the Leafs have zero playoff runs.

[@benjaminh7257]

@@jimlangdon1947there’s no weakness in his passing, he looks to shoot every time he crosses the blue line because he can score from everywhere, does mcdavid have a bad shot because Matthew’s has 40 more goals then him? Mcdavid doesn’t score from distance hence why he looks to pass 👍🏻

[@debr4265]

Boy get jonas out of there

[@rosswilliamson6664]

Jonas here to ruin another show. Epicly terrible.

[@bensinger2261]

He doesn’t have a case even with 70. 70 might push him above Crosby and Panarin for 4th place though

[@aaronm5535]

Ahh bless you, objectivity is so refreshing

[@Kyt2024]

Don’t think he’ll win but I think there is a good chance he is a finalist

[@BangHeadShotDed]

When Matthews loses the hart come back and listen to these clowns

[@dangraesser5341]

I said I was going to take the high road and stop ripping the odonkey because I have figured out he opens his mouth and embarrasses himself daily.

[@Leafgreen1976]

Empty net points are calculated exactly the same as PP and 5v5 etc. They all count, you have to earn your time on the ice in those situations.

[@benjaminh7257]

No you don’t, kucherov is the worst defensive player in the league they put him out there with empty net to get points, he ain’t protecting leads when the playoffs start

[@alexthebasilisk]

@@benjaminh7257he is literally a neutral defensive impact player on a bad defensive team. So what you just stated is wholly inaccurate

[@That90sShow]

​@@benjaminh7257meanwhile Connie McFAlRY gets double shifted if there is an empty net

ya think they know what tsn stands for?? literally has sport in the title and they spend the whole damn time talking about golf... you can enjoy watching it all you want, but talk about it on your own time

[@TheKingOfPuppets747]

TSN is joke

[@StoicNature444]

What’s your go to?

[@dangraesser5341]

Go ahead and give matthews the individual trophies. Because he will NEVER win the cup like the other guys you are putting behind him have! If you think McKinnon gives a fk about indv awards.. you're clueless. Cups matter!!!
