[Connor McConnor]

Kuch might have clinched it. The Avs are 3rd in their division so the winning argument doesn’t really apply.

 

[orby]

It's Kucherov. Scoring 54 more points than his closest teammate is crazy.

 

[Eegs]

Sportsnet turds were still giving their vote to Mack after last night's TB - TOR game.

This should be Kuch 100% but narrative is going to play a massive part.

 

[EmptyNetAssassin]

Does anyone else still not see Kucherov is the mvp?

 

[Peasy]

I'm sure not everyone will vote him first for the hart so yes.

 

[TJHKY]

It's Kuch, no doubt.

 

[EmptyNetAssassin]

Points (excluding empty nets) against the Top 10 teams in the NHL:
MacKinnon: 26pts in 22 GP (1.18 P/GP)
McDavid: 27pts in 20 GP (1.35 P/GP)
Kucherov: 50pts in 26 GP (1.92 P/GP)
He performs better against tougher competition.

 

[K Fleur]

Can’t think of a good argument against him. 100 assists by a winger is insane(and unprecedented)no matter what the scoring environment is.

 

[EmptyNetAssassin]

You do understand what I am saying right? MacKinnon bought his team up more when he was on the ice than Kucherov did for Tampa.

He did? MACK plays in an easier division and conference LESS CUPCAKES SUCH as sj,az,and ana. He has worse points per game against the top 10 teams points wise in.the nhl. Kucherov more points, broke two nhl records this year, more points per game, and a better shooting percentage. Also let's be honest of kucherov didn't have the season he had, the LIghtning aren't in the playoffs. Mack has to get 6 points tonight to tie him and mcdavid is the best center on the ice tonight.

 

[Hockeyholic]

Both MacKinnon and Kucherov are deserving. This is one of the tightest MVP races in the last few years. It might very well be a situation where the MVP/Lindsay winner are not the same guy.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Does anyone else still not see Kucherov is the mvp?

Mack will win it. Hes carried the Avs to a better record in a much better conference.

 

[Rob Brown]

Mac hit 50 goals and was still top 3 in assists and only behind Kucherov by 6 total points, with a game to play. Harder to score than it is to get an assist and still barely behind him in total points.

Lol east is horrible this year.

Yet he performed worse overall and against.the top 10 teams. The best players should elevate their should game when they play the best teams.

Lol east is horrible this year.

Sorry we don't have cupcakes like Arizona, San Jose, and anaheim.

 

[Rob Brown]

Yet he performed worse overall and against.the top 10 teams. The best players should elevate their should game when they play the best teams.

Ok and the people that actually vote on it will still look at and consider Mac for his overall stats. They won't just look at share of points vs. top teams.

You just have washington and islanders in the playoffs lol.

Why cant kucherov get the lighting to be better than Nashville?

PPG against said Cupcakes - 1.60

 

[King Woodballs]

MacKinnon has had it all year. Imagine losing it on the last game of the season

 

[Fire Sweeney]

M David in a landslide

 

[bme44]

All good choices ,but it should be MacKinnon

 

[Phil Kessels Hot Dog]

Edmonton was 1 point up on Anaheim until McDavid recovered from injury

 

[algernon]

This SLC Super Soakers fan says it's going to be a very tight race with Mathews syphoning off some first place votes, but this has to be Kuch's

 

[Frank Drebin]

I'll be shocked if he doesn't win it. An absolutely insane season.

 

[Seanaconda]

I remember when someone said he wasn't McDavid good when I said he was def playing hurt that one playoffs he couldn't skate .

But yes he should win and I'm glad cuz he hasn't gotten the respect he deserves ever

Ok and the people that actually vote on it will still look at and consider Mac for his overall stats. They won't just look at share of points vs. top teams.

But kuch is 6 points up atm. Mac had a good year but it's kuches Mac can win another year
