What McDavid has done this season has been pretty incredible, but I just had a few questions regarding his 2014-15 season and Crosby's 2004-05 season.

- I think someone in one of these threads listed the average goals per game for the QMJHL in Crosby's draft year and the OHL so far this season and I believe the OHL had 1+ goals more scored per game. Will that be a significant factor in comparing these two players? Also does anyone know where I could find those stats?

- In terms of teammates, it seems like McDavid has superior teammates than Sid did. Will that be used against him in this comparison or will it be even more impressive if he can get clear of Strome and finish well ahead of 2nd place on his own team, in the same vein where Gretzky was on stacked Edmonton teams but still blew 2nd place on the Oilers out of the water?

OHL GAA this year - 3.71
OHL GAA last year - 3.55

Q -2004/05 - 3.19
 
Do you expect a greater level of hockey insight and wisdom from 15 year old internet aficionados who's only experience in the game is about four years on their favorite gaming console?

Play nice. :)
 
So, over under 3.5 on mcdavid point totals tonight against Ottawa. I'm going over
 
Are Otters games often able to watch online? Want to catch him before he goes to the NHL.

It's pretty hard to catch OHL streams unless you have hockeystreams which is the best thing ever.
I'm pretty certain their are 10 game online packages you can buy but I'm not overly certain how they work.

Luckily I'm able to catch these games on TV
 
The otters are 13-0-1 and are averaging nearly 6 goals per game :laugh:

and yeah McDavid is scary good, can't wait for the World Juniors
 
It's incredible. 42pts in 14games. That's starting to turn into a pretty substantial sample size.

I don't think it's unreasonable to start putting him on Crosby level.
Crosby's numbers were better when he was 7. amidoinitright?
