...no? No one watches wrestling but me?
Don't think this has been mentioned really, but Auston Matthews is currently generating more shots on net than any other 19 year old in the past 20 years (via @coreypronman):
Marner's not doing so bad either of course.

Which bodes well with him really hitting stride once he shakes off this little slump. It won't be long. I tend to side with Babcock, that he'll be popping them in on a regular basis by Christmas.

His shooting percentage is currently sitting around 9.5%, but I would think if you took that first game away he might be sitting at about half that. He's bound to break out here eventually. Right????

Shooting 3.5% since the first game of the season. We've seen this play out before, the goals will definitely start to come.

Less than half.
IIRC he had 4 goals on 6 shots that first game. Since, he has 2 goals on 57 shots, for a Sh% of 3.5% since the first game. He's going to break out, and soon.

The big question though continues to be: is he frustrated? I really hope the media keep tracking this story, it has legzzz.

Another 4-goal game and he'll be right as rain.

Ultimately I think what's going on with Matthews right now might be a good thing. This is probably the first time in his life he's hit a patch like this and he has to work through it. The fact that his line is still working hard and getting their chances should be evidence enough that this is just a run of bad luck and it might be beneficial for Matthews to see how much harder it is to score in the NHL than anywhere else.

Lol. Must be a Russian thing. Those people will do almost anything to stay warm.
This is only because I enjoy ruining jokes with science; urinating on yourself actually cools you down. You're both releasing heat energy stored in the water of your urine (water has a high specific heat capacity), as well as losing heat to evaporation in the urine-affected areas. Camels pee on their legs to stay cool in the desert, for example, while humans sweat to release heat.
As for Matthews' scoring slump: it'll come back. He didn't forget how to score, and it just demonstrates how much luck actual scoring (and saving) involves. I really like his game and where it's heading. Last night, he was still backchecking like mad for the team instead of blowing the zone early to try to break his individual bugaboo. I worry more about Nylander passing up his own opportunities to help Matthews.
