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

[daver]

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.

You should get off the internet if this bothers you so much.

You should get off the internet if this bothers you so much.

You should study psychology before pretending to know what's going on in somebody else's mind, especially based on a single paragraph.

It doesn't bother me one bit. I simply laid bare the utter pathetic behavior of miserable people who need that kind of outlet.

Maybe get off the internet if the criticism being turned on you makes you so insecure that you then need to pretend being a mind reader.

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.

Let's ignore the cup final that Crosby LOST:

Kane - 7 goals including 2 in the cup clinching games (1 cup winning goal)
Crosby - 2 goals (yikes)

Crosby 0 goals in the 2016 final (ew what? how did this guy win the connsmythe? Oh right cause his name is Crosby hahaha)

Kane - 3/3 wins 100% A+
Crosby 3/4 wins 75% B

You should get off the internet if this bothers you so much.

Nobody's bothered by you. We find you amusing

If you want to start labeling people, I'll take a run at it:

Taking offense on behalf of someone who you don't know via the internet is pretty pathetic.

Again with the mind reading and projection.

You're the one taking offense. It's readily apparent when twice you try to decide my emotional state for me.

I'm simply showing how pathetic the behavior is. If it offends you, get off the internet.

I certainly dont care for some of his antics, but there's no denying he's among the greats. At some point, I hope the Oilers can actually ice a team that wins the Cup, cause it would suck for McDavid to never reach the pinnacle.

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.

I will once again ask… (this is the 3rd time)

Why couldn’t any of the other good players score at a much higher clip than their usual playing in such a bad division?

Why was McDavid able to score at a smokiest or better pace in the TWO seasons after playing against the rest of the league?

Also it was not “by far” his best ES scoring rate. He had like a 8pt boost over his next closest, which still puts him well over 90pts for the season if you even want to remove those.

It’s a plain and simple, ridiculous take by you, and rightfully being called out by everyone lol

 

[psycat]

I think any hockey fan should want him to win at least 1 cup. Hate him or love him. I don't think people understand what kind of player we are seeing here in the moment. Truly amazing players, warts like any other. But could be our next 2,000 point player if all goes well.

It would be a shame if he doesn't win one. I really don't care what team it's on. I mean like Lindros, least he made it to a finals and made it to game 7. But still.

It's like people not appreciating what OV is doing and about to make history.

Personally I like when the team wins over the individuals(else I would probably prefer another sport) so to me it doesn't matter that much, I am not a fan of McDavid more or less very neutral so him winning one or not doesn't do much for me.

Regarding Ovi? I suspect alot of people who don't like what he is doing are biased(rightfully so?) against him due to his Putinism.

Lastly this thread is rather meh, like 90pts is totally arbitrary, why is the cutoff not 87 or 93 pts? I doubt many thought he wouldn't hit that number this year.

I will reply again for the third time. What good players? Matthews was the only other elite player in the North at the time, if you consider him anything but a goal scorer. Marner follows him. Nylander was nothing special yet. Ottawa sucked, Montreal sucked, Jets players spread the wealth around, Canucks sucked, Flames sucked. Then lets dive into the D cores of all of these teams and then goalies. Outside of Helle, it was pitiful.

Two seasons after, his PPP/PG was .87 which is where his 150+ point season came from. He is outscoring that season, this season, in terms of even strength. Doubling down combining this thread with the other thread that is asking what is wrong with him. NOTHING! He is playing better even strength wise than half of his career seasons, only the PP is way down.

[mod] If the division was so easy, all the star players's production would've went up. Trying to limit the sample of players (just Matthews) is just a sign of your dishonesty, unable to recognize just how weak your initial argument was.

Dude

Marner didn’t have an arbitrarily great season. Why wasnt such an offensively gifted player beating up on “AHL” teams?

Gaudreau didn’t have a great season

Matthews is without a doubt an elite offensive player and was even better the next season… I haven’t seen you explain that one away yet… not surprised.

Tkachuck

Scheifele

Drasaitl (hilarious you don’t consider him an elite player)

Connor

I can keep going on and on.

These are all great 1st line players at minimum. Why weren’t they beating up on “AHL” teams?

I’m actually looking forward to this answer.

last season he also still scored at more than a 90/56 game pace, without this elite PP that you seem to think just doesn’t matter.

Truly hilarious how wrong a person can be.

 

[Juxta Position]

And then drafted Slavkovsky 1OA the next season...Painfully obvious how big of an asterisk that season should have on everything.

What does that have to do with literally anything about the season before? You coming in hot with the clown comments in this thread…

A 56 game season playing exclusively against the 13th, 17th, 19th, 20th, 24th and 30th ranked teams from the previous season is certainly worthy of an asterix.

It is fine to be placed as his #2 season, at best. Same with Matthews.

Him scoring over 90 is 56 in that season 100% does not deserve an asterisk, especially considering he’s scores better than that two different seasons after that year.

When is anyone saying that is his best season?
