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

[Tobias Kahun]

You are correct.

It was Orr that Fischler hated. Fischler famously called Boucher a top 3 player of all time.

Thankfully we dont have to read Beddoes stuff today like we do with Fischler.

 

[authentic]

Man that was a painful read, especially the part where he says this



I mean I get the argument for Crosby be in the top 5 for Hart discussion but Ovi or Stamkos playing 200 foot games....er what?

Stamkos admitted McDavid was better than him before he played a game in the NHL

 

[PaulD]

How is Crosby a real generational player if Mcdavid isn't? Seems to me so far in their careers Mcdavid has the upper hand? And even if he doesn't they are close enough it's ridiculous calling one generational and the other one something else

Both are. Without a doubt

 

[blundluntman]

I'm starting to think he's really gonna do it.

 

[Dust]

He only needs 3 points in the next 4 games to be officially "on pace" for it at the halfway mark. 75 in 41.

 

[TopShelfYzerman]

McDavid will get 134 points by seasons end.

 

[VainGretzky]

McDavid will get 134 points by seasons end.

so 50 points in last 45 games omg what a slump

 

[BallardEra]

McDavid will get 134 points by seasons end.

Only if he gets injured.

62 points in 45 games (1.38 PPG) is what he needs to "drop" to in order to hit 134.

He's scored 300 points in his last 173 games played. (1.73 PPG)

 

[TopShelfYzerman]

so 50 points in last 45 games omg what a slump

134 - 72 = 62

 

[hotcabbagesoup]

This is nuts in my fantasy league. I'm trying to make up some stats with other guys but then the top guy with McDavid just makes the gap larger and larger every week.

 

[Frosty415]

I expect Belfort to spawn soon

 

[Frosty415]

That last sequence of this game the entire Oilers team kept passing the puck to McDavid expecting him to generate the entire offense.

the entire team depends on him so much, that's why he's the #1 Hart candidate right now.

 

[MVP of West Hollywd]

At this point McDavid is gonna end up more dominant than Crosby or Ovie were. I'd say he met lofty expectations!

 

[ricky0034]

Think scoring ain't easier this season ?...... Skinner 23 points in last12 games.

Just one of a multitude of examples

so easy for everyone to score that he's on pace to outscore the closest non teammate by like 40 points by the time the season is over

 

[norrisnick]

McDavid will get 134 points by seasons end.

Well yeah. 134 is on the way to 150.

 

[PaulD]

For sure. I was actually jumping off on another post on scoring.
Staying on topic though - Like Gretz in his prime . There is Connor , then there everyone else.
Anyone who doesn't see that ......isn't watching hockey.

 

[LowSodium]

Top 3 individual season in hockey for sure if he continues this way

 

[Akrapovince]

You would think for someone to be pacing at this level that they would have had every bounce going their way.

That isn’t the case. If you watch McDavid’s play right now you would not be surprised if he’s amassed 20+ more points.

The back half of the season is Connor time, I think he breaks 160+.

 

[McShogun99]

Mcdavid usually picks up his pace in the last 2 months of the season. I think it will be exciting for any fan of hockey if he can hit 150+ points.

Perfect storm brewing with Oilers playing a bunch of bad teams at the end of their schedule while also likely needing lots of wins to push for the playoffs.

He’s also doing it without Kane, who allowed him to go super saiyan in the playoffs. Provided Evander is back and close to full strength by February, those three months to close out the year could be a track meet against DET x2, PHI x2, SJ x2, ARI x2, ANH x2 and so on.

150 would be amazing but...

156 puts him tops among non Gretzky or Lemieux seasons

160 makes him only the 3rd player to ever hit 160 or more (a few other players have hit between 150-155)

164 puts him at 2PPG.

Fun times. I hope he can hit all of these but it's a very high bar.

Kane has to come back if he wants a sniff at 160.

 

[BallardEra]

76 in 41 games.

On pace for 152.

Its unfortunate that Jordan is stuck at dinner with his family.

Thread doesn't deliver without him.
