Found this one pretty hard to believe but according to Yahoo Matthews' 38th goal gives him the record for most goals in a single season by an American-born player.

It must've been. Said he broke Neal Broten's record and the most he ever scored was 38 in his first year.Did they mean "in their rookie year"?
Can't be right otherwise. Mike Modano, for one, scored 50

Jimmy Carson really did it all eh? Late night host and a hell of a hockey player!I believe that 55 is the record for a US born player (Kevin Stevens and Jimmy Carson )

Hey Cody, the days of the "having fun", "Muskoka 5", "country club" Leafs are over. Take your loser attitude off to Buffalo or somewhere. Better yet, go to Vancouver.
Ya no I'm good.
I also doubt Babs is letting Polak go anywhere.I'd be totally fine with him replacing Polak on the 3rd pair next year. But I'm guessing someone else will offer him more than 3rd pair money/term given what's going to be out there.
/at least I didnt try to pawn off the Kessel #81 jersey which is currently in the $80 discount rack
They're still struggling to get the sauerkraut stench out of the Stanley cup.Is that with or without mustard stains?!?
Auston Matthews, rookie who skates on a line with another rookie and a dollar store stapler, is 4 goals off the league lead with 4 games to go..
He also has the fewest power play goals and the lowest average ice time of anybody in the top 5.
Also, this:
I don't watch the sports highlight shows much anymore but it's only over the top if it's undeserved. If Matthews didn't exist, and this was just Marner and Nylander and the Leafs were out of the playoff race a week ago, they might show more highlights of those two than average but it wouldn't be at this level.OK, Sportsnet goes way over the top with their Matthews bromance, but that play by Nylander to set up Auston was beautiful.
The numbers don't lie, this is the most talented group of Leaf forwards in my lifetime.

Like with McDavid last year and with Crosby/Ovie a decade ago we're seeing something special with Matthews and unlike any of those 3 players he's taking his team (which I remind everybody was dead fucking last in the NHL last year) to the post-season. It'll drive people nuts but as far as sports stories in any city go it's a pretty big deal. The fact it's Toronto does elevate it obviously but I saw plenty of Pittsburgh and Washington on primetime TV here and highlights at night and in the morning and I didn't blame the networks for focusing on that either.
