McDavid becomes only the 3rd player ever to score at least 90 points 9 seasons in a row!

  • 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.

Lemiuex easily would have done this if it weren't for lockouts and injuries. Healthy lemeiux probably does 14 120 point seasons in a row.

The fact that he played awful Canadian teams over and over maybe? We just want to ignore that part and compare it to the 1995 season. Ok.

That was essentially any of todays superstars getting to play in the AHL for 63 for games.

Why didn’t other superstars of the Canadian division break 100?. Actually, why didn’t they even break 70?. McDavid’s 2023 season ruled out any doubt.

The Habs literally made the finals

Toronto had essentially the same elite regular season team they’ve had for 6 years now

Why weren’t other star players racking up points way above their career norms as well?


Never mind that the next season he put up an even more impressive season playing against everyone. So your point is utterly ridiculous

Playing against AHL teams :laugh:

First sentence proves my point. A lottery team literally the next season.

Toronto hasnt had an elite defense nor goaltending in decades.

20-21 he racked up points against crap canadian teams.
22-23 the Oilers PP was ungodly good. Hes actually beating that season even strength wise this season. Shows how insane that PP was or that teams obviously figured it out since.

Since you completely glossed over it last time I’ll ask again….

Why weren’t any other star players scoring way above their career norms if playing the the North division was the same as playing AHL teams?

And yes I’m sure the Habs losing both their #1D and #1G in the same off season had nothing to do with them being a lottery team after. It was definitely just the division.

What star players? Matthews? All of those teams were crap up there.

Tyson Barrie was on pace for 71 points running that pp then nearly out of the league the next season.

Strange how Matthews went from 104 per 82 pace that year, to 119 pace the following year playing against everyone. It’s harder to score in the “AHL”?.

If the division was truly lower in quality, everyone’s scoring should have risen. You’re the type of guy to discredit Gretzky for playing in a weak league while no one else was coming close to putting up his numbers in that “weak” league.

Matthews, Marner, Drasaitl, Schiefele, Connor, Tavares, Nylander, Gaudreau, Lindholm, Tkachuck, literally ALL scored below their best seasons production.

Only McDavid saw an uptick, which he continued for an entire season afterwards.

But again… I’m sure it was just because every team was an “AHL” team :laugh:

It wasn’t just Matthews… it was like, every single top player in that division scored at or below their normal career average that season.

Im not subscribing to Matthews being in McDavid's tier in general let alone only for that season and obviously that goes for the rest of the North not having any elite players at the time outside of McDavid. Its a huge asterisk season, with guys not being or going 100%, the world stupid, and a Habs team that wouldve missed the playoffs normally, barely over .500, going to the Final only to be a lottery team the next season.

That seasons McDavid ESP/GP was by far the best of his career. He was just in peak shape then? You really believe that? It had nothing to do with playing against the some of the worst teams in the league from the season before? (Ott - 30th, MTL - 24th, WPG - 20th, VAN - 17th, TOR - 13th) and even TOR, we know was garbage D and G wise. Theyre like EDM outscoring their mistakes.

Patrick Kane was better and more clutch than Crosby in the playoffs

How so?

Crosby outscores Kane by 20% in the playoffs during their primes.

His team reached the SCF four times vs. three for the Hawks.

Two Conn Smythes to One plus two other Conn Smythe worthy runs.

And this is just talking offensive production. All around play places Crosby significantly farther ahead. Kane brought nothing other than offense.

Crosby 3/4
Kane 3/3


Cup winning overtime goals
Kane 1
Crosby 0

Scientifically proven than kane is more clutch

One needs to be entirely miserable in life, to feel the need to bitch on one of the best players in hockey history. It's also often the same actors, always there on the spot. It's obsessive and sick. Even more miserable, when they need to form non sense narratives and avoid the counter-arguments that show the cluelessness of their diatribes.
