Mcdavid - finally regressing?

[strattonius]

McJesus
MacK
Kuch
Drai
Barky

... The rest

Well get rid of Barkov and if not then add Makar and Q.Hughes.

Dmen get disrespect on best player lists too often.

 

[Sniper99]

Yeeeeah.. you can really tell hes regressing on that goal against the lightning tuesday night.

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

Looking like he regressed to Mario Lemieux levels of greatness.

 

[Kingfan1967]

He's sandbagging because he wants to give the Leafs a super discount and then break Gretzky's single season point record while winning Toronto's first cup in 6 decades. #GOATLife

Moving to LA to win a Cup there, something that Gretzky failed to do.

 

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

Opposite experience to MacGinnon. MacGinnon had never even gotten a 100 points season but tried to bully his way through the playoffs. After finally winning a cup MacGinnon has abandoned playing well in the playoffs and goes all out for the regular season.

McDavid has seen his team fall just a little short each post season. And now has adapted to be fresher for the playoffs. The entire team has followed his lead. And they were closer than ever before last year. McDavid is still the undisputed best player of the last 5 years (with the exception of a healthy Carey Price). And in the playoffs the gap will show.

An incredible player and I’ll be the first to admit it.

About time someone showed up in support of McDavid.

 

[Breakers]

I don’t think it is consensus as the best
Mackinnon is a psycho path and is producing similarly lately

 

[SEALBound]

Clearly the best player in the league still. We are just being reminded that he is a mere mortal like the rest of them.

Wayne went from 215 to 183pts in one season. Doesn't mean Wayne wasn't the best.

 

[kerrabria]

An incredible player and I’ll be the first to admit it.

However, since his 2022-23 form, he has notably declined and has had multiple players enter his tier (Nate, Kucherov).

Both are out scoring him the last 2 years. He clearly has some type of nagging injury or something going on. Still probably the best player in the league, but no longer the consensus best player.

Crosby was 28 when people declared he was cooked in Fall 2015. He then won two Smythes and was the Hart runner-up three times.

McDavid turns 28 next month.

 

[Arpeggio]

I know no one cares, but something McDavid has really improved on is scoring without having to rely on his speed. I think/hope this is good for his longevity, because a lot of people were saying his game would deteriorate as soon as he loses his top end speed.

He thinks the game a lot better than some give him credit for.

Nothing like some mid afternoon trolling hey OP ?

did you mean to start this october?

Sorry, I just thougth best forwards in NHL. Not Dmen.

 

[Soundwave]

I don't think so. If anything he's better than last year, the goal scoring touch is coming back, last year it dropped off because of an abdominal injury that was bothering him all year long.

He was overpassing trying to force feed Hyman to start the year but after he snapped out of that, he has 11 goals in his last 14 games.

It looks like the ab injury that was impacting his shot all of last year has healed.

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Wish in one hand, s##t in another…..

 

[TheNumber4]

The only reason McD is not atop the leaderboard right now is SCF hangover. Affected the whole team really, shit hurts.

ah Jordan Belfort, one of the bigger McDavid haters on this site

who can forget this gem about McDavid on pace for 150 points:

That won’t happen, this happens every year where he tears it up at the beginning but D will tighten up and not allow him any space. He will still be point per game but won’t come close to 150

And to everyone else coming after me I don’t care, not going to respond to everyone individually. Fact is Mcdavid will slow down and I will come back for the last laugh. Book this now

McDavid heating up, what are odds on 150 points this season?

Teams have to win to make the playoffs? Damn, nothing gets by you. You win 100% of the games that you score more goals that the opposition. -Jordan belfort

McDavid ended up with 153 that season

 

[Video Nasty]

Yep. Same guy:

Who are you calling a kid? No shot you’re older than me lol. So soft Rent free sure gets two points won’t matter when his team misses the playoffs Sure thing kid.

His other gem from earlier that season: Jordan “The Court Jester” Belfort

Today’s thread is just the fourth post he has made in the two years since his holiday 2022 bash McDavid bender that shipped him into exile.

He must be so confused now when McDavid didn't "he tear it up" right at the start and is heating up just now.

Jordan, it's okay, we're all bit regarded, some more than others though.

 

[Arthur Morgan]

finally? even if your not a fan of Edmonton, weird to want him to regress.
his numbers seem to be little down but he's still well over ppg, if that's regressed then Ill have some of whatever the OP got

 

[MVP Zacha]

I mean to the OP's point, McDavid had 0 goals and 0 assists in August.

 

[tabness]

welcome back JB

 

[Metroid]

Before anyone shits on the leaf fans for saying dumb things. He's not a leaf fan. Not one post in the leafs board and nothing about them on the mains etc... looks like a troll or attention seeker to me....

 

[Our Lady Peace]

Yes OP I concur he has wholly regressed. With contract talks coming up, the cap restraint might be real with this one

Detroit will happily take a "flyer" on this regressing player, in hopes that something meaningful can be salvaged before his arc steepens downwards after age 30

 

[WalterLundy]

He should probably just retire before it gets too bad. He can preserve his points per game and we can pace him out to 1500 games and nearly 2300 points.

Seriously what is up with some of the recent activity on here?
