It is harder to put points up on the PP yet only the Oilers seem to be able to rack them up like no other team. It is such a flawed argument which shows the true hypocrisy of a lot of posters.
Draisaitls 128 point campaign.

Tell us you don’t know what you’re talking about without actually telling us you don’t know what you’re talking about…
if there weren't oilers posts on the main boards where would you spend all your time?

Not that cut and dry though. Just like the 2018-2019 Lightning, the 2022-2023 Oilers led the league with exactly the same amount of goals: 325.

If Draisaitl even DREAMS that he’s better than Matthews, he better wake up and apologize.

2nd highest point total without any context =/= 2nd "best"Tied with Kucherov for second best season in the 2000s but with more goals so he will be sorted higher

Yeah, I mean if I matched 6 years of a player's career playoff production in 1 playoff run and in less than half of the 39 games he's played... and was a 4x 100+ point producer while the other guy has only managed to break 90 once, I would be offended at my dream understating the difference between me and him. Better doesn't begin to describe how much better Draisaitl is than Matthews. It's not even close, honestly.
Matthews being better than Drai and Matthews being a better two-way player than McDavid are narratives that nobody outside of Toronto believes, time to get some new material.

He was hampered by a lingering injury for most of the season and only got his legs back in the past month or so. Add to that the mysteriously puzzling coaching decision to play him with ineffective players that don't complement his style. Most seasons, his 5v5 numbers are just fine.
And Draisaitl had the most 5v5 primary assists. But somehow he's a power play merchant

Imagine how Draisaitl would have done with Point, Stamkos, and Hedman. And Kucherov with Kailer Yamamoto.Now just imagine how Kucherov would have done if he played with McDavid!

It's too bad Mummy puts you to bed every night at 9 p.m. because if actually watched Oilers' games, you'd notice that Draisaitl and McDavid play on separate lines and have for most of the year. Maybe one night you can beg her pretty please to let you stay up. Or maybe not, cause that might ruin the lovely little fantasy you've created in your head.
Nah don’t create situations that would ruin their brains like that. It’s mean.
Its not even really debateable anymore
Since 2019 Drasaitl has 181 Goals, 251 assists and 432 point in 287 games
Matthews is 188 Goals,149 Assists, 337 Points
Thats a 95 point difference
Playoffs? Even bigger difference 59 points in 37 games for Draisaitl. 33 point in 39 games for Matthews
As of right now, Draisaitl is clearly better than Matthews and has been for a while
Stop it, dont go mixing dumb shit with Reservoir Dogs. You're making us look bad. Can Matthews dream about getting us to the 2nd round? Maybe stop dreaming about hanging out with Bieber at UFC events a week after getting eliminated?

all flushed down toilet cause he's strapped to mcdavid... So...yeah... The only reason people outside of Toronto believe it is because " toronto" . Using "narrative" was cute considering that's all everything you said was. .. Matthew's and it's never TRULY been close...still he's a really great backpack...

Great player but I do think Kucherov's 128 point campaign was more impressive. There's a huge difference between playing with McDavid and playing with Brayden Point. Regardless, he's a top 3 or 4 player in the league this season

Yeah playing with stamkos, Hedman, point etc is such a rough go.

I'll give you hedman but stamkos wasn't the same player he was in his peak and we all know it. He had good linemates for sure but not as good as McDavid. Even Nugent Hopkins scored 100 points this year. Like I said tho, he's still a top 3-4 player in the league.

Stamkos had 100 points just last year and had 98 points that year.

A good amount of those points were thanks to Kucherov (he was still 30 points behind Kucherov anyways). Kucherov literally beat McDavid in scoring the year.
