We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.
What This Means for You:
- If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
- If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
- Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
- Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress
Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

Not that it matters all that much but Drai have one game in hand to catch up too
Also if AM34 can win it over a 120pts+ guy with a 5 goal league lead but being like 20 pts behind then I don't know what to think about it anymore.
If Matthews can win a Hart being 15 points behind McDavid, Then Draisaitl should win this away going away. Hes having a more impressive season
I am also really impressed with Helle this year...would be a good sign for the league if a goalie could win it again.
But still favors my homer vote Drai cause his all around play is on a complete different level than before.
Jets without Helle are still a playoff team. Oilers without Drai are san jose.
I think 60 goals was a bigger deal even 3 years ago. I don't think matthews wins that hart today because we've seen 60 from a few guys now.
But goals are definitely more valuable in a vacuum, and Drai will have a big advantage
Draisaitl is currently on a 17 game point streak with 14 goals and 12 assists. Oilers only have 38 goals during that stretch, scoring more than 3 goals only twice.
Draisaitl is doing all of this with McDavid completely MIA and having his worst season since entering the NHL.
Without him this year the Oilers would be a lottery team.
Without him this year the Oilers would be a lottery team.
Hes not mario or wayne.
Lets not pretend drai is doing all the lifting alone. Mcdavid is 4th in league scoring. Which is great help
I'd give it to Drai over MacKinnon this year. He's having the more impressive and meaningful season, IMO.
Yet McDavid has been a Hart finalist four seasons in a row, top five eight seasons in a row, has three wins and six finalists overall.
Gretzky is of course the gold standard with eight consecutive Hart wins and twelve top five seasons in a row. A player is doing something right when there’s disappointment (?) that he hasn’t matched this.
Lemieux’s high of any combination of finalist and top five bids is two consecutive seasons.
You can repeat how McDavid is not Gretzky or Lemieux, but he’s closer than anyone has ever been since, has racked up a run of dominance unmatched by anyone else, and is certainly greater than Crosby, who you’re trying to protect with this chant.
Draisaitl should be the runaway Hart favourite
I still take MacKinnon for now but this could go either way. Unreal season for Draisaitl.
What other player has a MIA teammate that is 4th in scoring and is in on over 50% of his points?
Yeah they are really close...both great players...but just for fun...MacK without Makar 5v5, xGF% 48,36.
Drai without McD 5v5, xGF% 56,33%
That's the difference...and keep in mind, MacK has at minimum Rantanen/Necas while Drai played tonight with Perry/Brown and Podkolzin/RV as his regular line mates...
Offensive zone starts MacK:71,5% to Drai 61%.
Drai is often used in defensive situations, that's nothing major but it's noticeable.
Also Drai with 12 more takeaways and 20 less giveaways...that's a difference of 32 possessions...that's huge.
(Just for Info and not related: Makar with great takeaway numbers and Bouch with lots of giveaways).

What other player has the leading pts getter for a dman on his team? Why is it always McDrai is a product of each other like it's a negative, and never MacK and Makar a product of each other as a negative to their stats? Or MacK and Rantannen/Necas, or Mathews and Marner?
Hell MacK has a LINEMATE that is also in the top 10 in league scoring and the #1 scoring Dman in the league on his team.
MacK without Makar 5v5, xGF% 48,36.
Drai without McD 5v5, xGF% 56,33%
Yeah,try harder and ignore everything else...these are actual numbers which are showing how someone performes without someone...and one has/had Rantanen/Necas (both over PPG) on his line and the other has Podkolzin/RV/Brown/Perry as linemates.
One has a Ferrari/Porsche on his line and the other is driving with two Ladas/Opels.
You can't argue with this guy...he is ignoring everything and when you are bringing up actual numbers he still keeps saying the opposite...he is one of these flat earthers who really think it is so and just ignoring physics.
There is nothing you can do...and I still try sometimes and deep inside I know it's useless but it's hard to let go...it could be so easy.
Some of these "Draisaitl deniers" either twist logic into a pretzel or completely disappear when he's having success.
He might get 60 in a year where no one else hits 50, pretty sure that’s never been done in NHL history
Also Mack has been on the ice for roughly 70% of his even strength minutes with Makar, close to 75% with either Rantannen or Necas. Drai has spent 40% of his even strength minutes with Mcdavid and 50% with Bouchard (if you think that's a positive this year). Mcdavid has like 40 gf% away from Drai this year. Anyone trying to discredit Draisaitl because of Mcdavid is coping.
