Matthews would easily have 75 if Marner wasn’t out the past 2-3 weeks and now he’s on LTIR because all their D men are hurt. Ppl try to act like that’s a negative towards Matthews as if he needs Marner to score goals. It’s not that but obviously they’ve played together so long they know where each other are at all times. They know what they’re gonna do and obviously Marner is a remarkable passer. Matthews still has a chance to hit 70. 10 goals in 9 games for the best goal scorer in the world. Especially if he has a hat trick in 1 of the games or a cpl 2 goal games. The crazy thing is he’s had 2 different stretches 1 early and 1 late in the season when he went a few weeks with only a few goals and dude still has 60 goals in 72 games. Savage!
