Maple Leafs Regression Fears + 50 in 50 + 50 for Hyman + Robertson Playoffs

50 in 50

With "only" three goals in his last six games Auston Matthews has fallen off the 50 in 50 pace ("Just" a 40 Goal Pace as a negative haha!)

Looking to hit the magic number for the second time in his career, Matthews now needs six goals in his next two games to have 50 in his last 50.

Some people only care about his if it happens from the season's first game, but that's arbitrary nonsense.

Goalie for the Playoffs

Joseph Woll doesn't have great numbers since he came back from injury, but that's to be expected. Ilya Samsonov doesn't have great numbers even though the Leafs have been the best team in the NHL (more or less) for two+ months.

The decision is easy.

Joseph Woll has stolen several games this season and the Leafs have points in at least four games because of him. Samsonov? Not so much.

In the NHL, people stupidly consider experience to be a deciding factor, but, at least for goalies, this is silly. Goalies fluctuate wildly. You cannot ever know what a goalie will do, if you could, the biggest star in the league, the "Connor McDavid" if you will, of the NHL at any given time would be a goalie, not the best skater.

So who cares about experience, play the most talented player. That is Woll hands down.
