<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rangsey</b></div><div><strong>Era adjusting anything is dumb and inaccurate.</strong> Matthews would never have scored 70 goals in the 80s because Arizona didn't have a team and he would have been a chain smoking baseballer.

Can we all just admit that this season we're seeing special players do special things non of us have ever seen before. How many folks on this site were old enough to appreciate what Selanne and Mog did.

Matthews <strong>might</strong> be the next Ovi. He <strong>might</strong> be the next Bossy. But he's the first AustonMatthews and even tho he's a Leafs fan that's impressive.</div></div>

I will agree partially, we don't really need era adjusted stats for anything however, everyone knows hockey has evolved and we as fans continually compare players performance to someone in the past and in that way, make era adjusted stats an important thing to know, you cannot compare Mogilny and Phil Esposito's 76 goal season as equal due to hockey evolving during that 23 year span
