C Connor McDavid (2015, 1st, EDM) VII

[Breakers]

Considering Mc David was a plus 2 , i would think Cassels points came when Mc David was on the bench.

Nope. Mcdavid was on the ice for Both of Cassels goals, while Cassels was only the ice for one of Mcdavids lines goals.

Is Connor McDavid going to be the best skater in the NHL heading into the 2015-2016 season?

He isn't even the best skater in the draft, according to some around here... (not me)

 

[ozzie]

Never out until you lose at home, isn't that how it goes?

Close game, going to be a tough series. Hopefully McDavid can carry the team again.

As for Strome, Good or bad, not sure but he reminds me of lesser version of

Jason Allison

Honestly, it amazes me he was potentially a number 3 pick, but now? his stock is dropping big time. He is so slow out there, but he can make some players just not at high speed.

[QUOTEiter;102372091][/B]

That would be correct. Gretzky wasn't considered a rookie because of his year in the WHA even though it was his rookie NHL season. Pretty stupid decision by the NHL...but that's the NHL norm. stupid decisions everywhere you turn. But let's award a 31 year old Sergei Makarov the ROY in 89-90. laughable.[/QUOTE]

Abloo abloo

Nope. Mcdavid was on the ice for Both of Cassels goals, while Cassels was only the ice for one of Mcdavids lines goals.

How did McDavid have 2 points and end up a plus 2 but he was on the ice for Cassels goals? I guess Mc David was on the ice for all the Erie goals for?

McDavid finished with a +1. He was on the ice for 3 Erie goals for, on ice for 2 Oshawa goals against (all even strength).

What the other guy meant was when McDavid got his points, Cassels was only on the ice for the goal (not the assist). McDavid was on the ice both time Cassels scored. Not sure what the point of that was but that's what he meant.

I was just referring to another guy who says McDavid is dominating against the Cassels line.

Which isn't the case as he only has 3 points in 3 games.

...

lol.

Do you have a source for these 'insiders' because with all due respect anyone can say that.

Secondly, as a minor playing junior hockey, the coach cant have the guy playing injured to some degree it could hurt his growth or damage his career. Its not the same as grown men making their own decisions in the NHL.

Just think of it as a possibility... You don't need to be convinced one way or another, but there's reason to believe Strome is playing injured. People with supposedly good sources within the Otters organization have said as much, and I doubt they'd make that up out of thin air.

If you look at the boxscore Cassels' second goal was on the PP (Raddysh in the box at 16:31 of the 3rd, goal scored at 18:08 of the 3rd, only 4 skaters listed on the ice for Erie). McDavid will finish the night at +2

McDavid's goal from last night

 

[ozzie]

I haven't seen that ability to perform at top end speed, since Pavel Bure. He just does everything so fast when he is going fast.

 

[Mount Kramer Cameras]

I dread to think what a McDavid and Hall combination is going to be capable of. I understand that they might want to spread out the talent but if they do it... my word

Hall - McDavid - ???

Pouliot - RNH - Eberle

Lander - Draisaitl - Yakupov

It's not the offense the Oilers need to worry about this offseason lol

 

[EON]

McDavid should have been +2, Cassels' second goal was on a PP.

Also, McDavid wins the Red Tilson trophy as the league's Most Outstanding player.

What's this kid's shot quality like? Does he have a considerable release? A wrist/snap shot that can beat NHL goalies? Good selection, accuracy?

I haven't seen him play much at all. Seems like he just dances it in and goes five hole when need be. Very Toews-ish, which is awesome.

Thanks.

 

[Plural]

Yes and no. Gretzky and Marcel Dionne finished tied for the scoring title with 137 points apiece during Gretzky's rookie year but Dionne was given the Art Ross because he had two more goals.

Technically, Gretzky wasn't a rookie.

Its not really the case of just Cassels up against him, its 3 players triple teaming Mcdavid. That is the major factor

McDavid's goal from last night

Nice acceleration.

TBH, his shot is pretty average. That's by far his biggest weakness.

Man, whoever says McDavid isn't the best skater in the draft has no clue what they're talking about.

Never seen a player so good with his edges and accelerate to top speed as quick as McDavid. Doesn't look like he has a powerful stride because he looks like he's just flying around on the ice.

There was another player who could skate on full speed and shoot the puck during his prime. Peter Bondra.

but did he have the vision that mcdavid has, as well as the ability to protect the puck like mcdavid. But most importantly did he have as cool a nickname as Mcjesus

 

[Macman]

Technically, Gretzky wasn't a rookie.

Technicalities are often stupid. He was a 19-year-old playing his first year in the NHL, just like McDavid will be next year.
