Connor McDavid: 150 Points Watch (32GP: 53 Points - 135.8 Pace (1.66 PPG))

[TheNumber4]

Every time McDavid cuts to the net at full speed I keep thinking "there is a career ending injury just waiting to happen". Scary stuff.

You only have to worry when he does it against the dirty, dishonourable Flames though. Literally the only two times he was in danger after rushing the net was when the Flames purposely took out his legs to prevent embarrassment.

Despite being #1 in NHL points McDavid is 180th in +/- stats with a lowly +1 rating

Not as important but telling non the less, when Gretzky in his prime was breaking my heart in the 80's he was routinely around the +70's while leading the league in points, McDavid is a one trick pony bent on points with little regard for anything else.

So McDavid plays all 5 positions and is every where on the ice at all times?

McDavid has been solid defensively for the last couple of years. +/- is obviously a meaningless stat, but McDavid has significantly improved his defensive game both visually and by every on-ice analytic.

McDavid had surprised me defensively in the Oilers games I’ve watched, he’s out there many of the times when it’s a minute or two left and an empty net for the opponent, so obviously the coach does too.

 

[Conrad McBenis]

Nothing on the Draisatl goal!

 

[BallardEra]

Drai going for 5 goals tonight.

He looks unstoppable, maybe we need a Drai 150 point watch thread instead lmao.

Best player in hockey by a wide margin right now.

Maybe topic title should be changed to:

Even though the team has no playoff success watching those 2 is always a treat

As an oiler fan who missed out on the Gretzky days I remember watching Crosby and Malkin and being in awe. Truly spoiled now with Mcdrai and just trying to enjoy every minute of it

One-trick pony describes Gaudreau. Using it as a descriptor for McDavid is laughable.

I dunno. Connor is like 57% on the dot this year.

 

[boopronger]

I love this thread

 

[Romang67]

He had 17 in only 7 games two seasons ago.

 

[NeverForget06]

When do we get to play the Sens?

 

[Perfect_Drug]

Aforementioned McDavid slump.

Went PPG for 2 games now. Pretty disappointing to see him fall down to earth.

“Draisaitl is a passenger and gets carried”

-people who chose to ignore the fact they’ve been very similar caliber players for 4 years running now

2 G, 2A for the German Gretzky tn while McDavid had a bit of an off night- only picked up 1 apple. They’re tied for the NHL point lead and 2nd in the league in goals.
When Draisaitl is on he’s unstoppable.

McDavid and Draisaitl are usually two of the forwards out defending. The Oilers have not given up a 5-on-6 tying goal since Tippett was hired.

Dun care what anyone says, I think Kieth is a good human being.

They've given up 5. You filtered for leading by 1. Filter by just leading, and you'll see they've given up a few.

Vancouver scored one last game when they were up 2-0 with 5 seconds left.
