Five games in the NHL, including the Leafs with a very interesting spot here tonight.
00:10
Somebody pinched me, does he get to 50 goals here tonight, Austin Matthews, or what?
00:16
>> Well, you know what, it's kind of fitting that it lands,
00:20
he's on 49 right now as they play.
00:24
Normally, I wouldn't even look like too much, but I got whatever,
00:26
the Leafs are playing the Coyotes tonight.
00:28
But the fact of the matter is, Austin Matthews is from Phoenix,
00:33
he's from the area, he's from Arizona.
00:36
Which number one, it's incredibly rare, right?
00:38
It's starting to become more common now with players from warm weather states in
00:43
the United States.
00:45
But, I mean, this is just storybook, Joe, like really?
00:50
I mean, you're scoring the most goals in the NHL in like 30 years right now,
00:54
this pace.
00:55
Like we're not in an era right now where everybody scores, guys.
00:58
Like so what he's doing really is special.
01:00
Like if you go back to like Timo Salahni, score like 72 goals.
01:05
It's hard to crack 50 in this era.
01:08
Austin Matthews really is, he's on pace to score 75 goals, guys,
01:12
which is serious stuff.
01:14
So he really, he lets it come to him.
01:17
I don't think he really forces things.
01:19
He really does sort of just let the puck come to him and
01:22
he's pretty good at not forcing things.
01:25
You gotta believe though, Joe, he would like nothing better in front of his
01:29
parents tonight, in his hometown, in front of his buddies,
01:33
than I just score 50 goals so quickly.
01:36
It really would be a special moment.
01:38
It's minus 155 that he's gonna score, ain't he?
01:41
>> Wow.
01:42
>> And I'll tell you what, I bet you it goes up before puck drop,
01:45
because every Johnny come lately, he's gonna have a same game parlay tonight.
01:49
With Austin Matthews to score and the Leafs to win.
01:51
But I will take Austin Matthews to score tonight.
01:55
That he gets a great story that he gets his 50th goal in his hometown tonight.
