Connor McDavid notches the most assists for RS+PS since Lemieux

[Frank Drebin]

This guy gets to play against the easiest scrub goalies since the 80s, so it kinda makes sense.

Love the name! How about Connor McDavid?

Lets not act like "Prime MAF" was anything special, just an average goalie. even worse come playoffs. Oilers Mike Smith is similar.

Letang was not around for 2017 and was playing bottom pair mins in 09.

Lets not act like these two carried Crosby. Especially playoff Fleury lol.

What exactly are we doing in this thread right now?

Correcting a false narrative.

It shouldn't be hard to defend McDavid without making up some false premise about Crosby for no reason.

Anyone saying McDavid is the reason for the Oilers playoffs failure is obviously acting in bad faith.

 

[AgeIess]

If he really wanted to win he would've built a time machine and figured out a way to get peak Letang and MAF on the Oilers by now.

Why would McDavid want to get 2 bums that Crosby had to single handedly drag, kicking and screaming to their cups with his superior 2 way play?

It's not like McDavid would be able to do that.

Being insecure outside of the safety of their own board for once.

McDavid was unsatisfied with his previous 2PPG playoffs pace. He decided to aim for 3PPG this year.

Also known as 1PPP, one point per period. Which is what one-legged Draisaitl got against the Flames in the playoffs.

No one really wants to talk about sid in mcdavid threads, it's always some goofy pen fan that brings him up

 

[Video Nasty]

Pfft big deal.. Let me know when he wins a cup and a smythe.

What will that do? You’re already completely obsessed with him.

 

[Kranix]

but does he do intangible and elevate, two-way- to 200 feet? If he's not intangibly playing 200 foot then, I say if they lose, it was because he wasn't 200 way feet.
How many feet/60 did he play last night?

What are you even talking about, I've been insecure outside of my own board since McDavid arrived in the NHL.

 

[Raym11]

I was really glad Edmonton ended up against LA. That's a very favourable matchup for them and Mcdavid's speed and smarts overwhelms their boring trap.

LA vs anyone else would be unwatchable

He got fired up watching playoff leader Auston "Big Papi" Matthews light it up aka the playoff #1 earlier

[MessierII]

His 5 assist game was the first 5 assist playoff game since 1998. Geoff Courtnall last did it ironically also against the LA kings.

#MatthewsEffect

You may not be wrong. It’s surprising how many time Papi has had a big game and McDavid follows it up with one himself
I’d love to see what totals he could amass if he ever played 25 playoff games

I didn't bring him up. Literally the first person to bring up Sid was an oiler fan.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

So what's Gretzky's record?

Don't think so but moving on

Edit: actually you're right it was a sarcastic comment from a neutral fan

 

[Despote]

LA Kings had like the 3rd best GAA in the league this year.

It's a very good defensive team. McDavid ripping them apart is impressive.

The Jets and Florida were tied for first. But they forecheck.

 

[daver]

Kucherov just went to Whocherov?

Anytime a player betters a Joe T. playoff metric, you know they have done something special.

 

[LeafsNation149]

Shit....not nearly as cringy as their sliding scale 50 in 50 for Matthews where the overlapped seasons lol

Matthews scored 51 in 50 in the same season what overlapping seasons are you talking about?

 

[klefbombs shoulder]

100 goals and 174 assists

Absurd.

 

[klefbombs shoulder]

McDavid is the reason the Bettman Golden LTIR’s mailed it in against the Ducks in Game 82. Can’t blame them. No sense cheating and then playing with an ounce of shame.

Its not like Dallas is an easy out though.

So still a sliding scale to attempt to equate accolades. Sorry I slid off the slide.
