Draisaitls 128 point campaign.

[KCC]

Only player in the past 30 years to average 1,6ppg over a full season besides Gretzky, Lemieux, Jagr and McDavid. That is what you call elite company.

But...but..he's a by product of McDavid and can't drive his own line! /s. Pretty funny that some people still think that. That's how you know they don't watch. lol

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Incredible season, especially when you consider he isn’t that good

 

[Tillain]

Has any player ever had a no look backhand pass as good as him? Had another crazy one last night on Bouchards goal. Seems to be doing it almost every game lately.

 

[frisco]

He’s a beast. But imagine if someone had 60+ goals and 90 assists for around 150pts?

If that happened, people would try to sneak him into every post in every thread.

[Mr Positive]

Tied for the 2nd best individual season since 1995/1996.

He has more goals than Kucherov so thats the tie breaker. Kucherov is 3rd

Video game numbers anyway. Don’t think it’s realistic in todays game. It’s not like the 80’s

 

[McVespa99]

He's a PP merchant. Pedestrian at 5 v. 5.

Ahhhh more from the great unwashed and uninformed of HF boards...
Every year in his career except for this 1 year Drai has had more goals at even strength than on the PP. Usually substantially more. Nice bad take though....

Check out some Gretzky highlights lol

 

[Phil Kessels Hot Dog]

The best passer in the NHL also has the best shot. He's good.

 

[Leksand]

Plus played 2 less games.


ESP last 5 years. Also add 2 more points after tonight.
Black mold brain take.

Well that bodes well for the playoffs if he then stops being pedestrian 5on5…

 

[Green Blank Stare]

Joe Pavelski without McDavid.

 

[LivingRentFree]

This is correct

 

[McVespa99]

This is correct

You Leafs fans are just choked because you realize there is no argument left that Matthews is better than Drai

 

[Despote]

2nd best player in the world. Pretty cut and dry.

 

[avsfan9]

This is an astounding season. This is a season for the ages for any player let alone a German born one.

Over 50 goals and 70 assists. One of the best faceoff percentages amongst top 2 C. Playoff Leon was on full display tonight.

They beat the sharks. I wouldn’t go bragging about it.

 

[Sweetpotato]

2nd best player in the world. Pretty cut and dry.

I guess you could say....pretty cut and.....Drai.

 

[RickChartraw]

nice stats from him and connor. kind of meaningless until they get a cup. this the year?

 

[McFlash97]

They beat the sharks. I wouldn’t go bragging about it.

your right. They beat the Avs. Better ?

 

[avsfan9]

your right. They beat the Avs. Better ?

Yes. 1 time in their last 11.

 

[McFlash97]

Joe Pavelski without McDavid.

Greatest comedy was listening to Vancouver radio talking about how Elias Pettersson on his way to becoming one of the greatest or top 5 2 -way forwards in NHL history after he scored his 100th point.... . Relax Vancouver.



the delusional fans and media coming out of Vancouver is pure comedy. That tends to happen when you have been a laughing stock for a decade.

Yes. 1 time in their last 11.

So you agree then ? they beat the Avs

Maybe watch Pettersson more if you don't think he's becoming an elite 2 way player.

I'm not sure why you would want to bring him up in this thread. But for interest:

Draisaitl is +7 on a team with a +24 5on5 goal differential.
Pettersson is +16 on a team with a -23 5on5 goal differential.

 

[Connor McConnor]

Oilers should be winning Presidents trophies with that kind of firepower. But it ain't happening. Not yet anyway

If not for Boston's season and Campbell having a -23 goals saved above expected, this team probably would have won it.

Maybe watch Pettersson more if you don't think he's becoming an elite 2 way player.

EP is definitely turning into an elite 2-way player but you gotta admit, Vancouver media is one of the reasons their fanbase is depressed by season end every year. They spew straight nonsense out of their mouth past December (because theyve usually been eliminated already by then) till the next season starts making their fans believe the team is actually good.

so basically mcd broke the scoring record. Absolutely incredible season by mcd.

The best passer in the NHL also has the best shot. He's good.

matthews shot is better (when his wrist is not broken) AINEC

2nd best player in the world. Pretty cut and dry.

Nope! He is though the best backpack in the world.

 

[Roksta]

If he can be healthy in the playoff this year I think he's gonna be scary af

but then again with less PP and the OIlers's goaltending you never know whats gonna happen

 

[McFlash97]

Maybe watch Pettersson more if you don't think he's becoming an elite 2 way player.

Being an elite 2 way CM versus being one of the greatest of all time is pretty far fetched.

Whats your point ?

I think EP is a solid player

I'm just saying. This is in response to a known poster who likes to be downplay anything Oiler related however obvious it may seem.
