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

[Video Nasty]

Wild that a 150 point season this year and perhaps 135 next year would see him notch his 1000th career point early in his age 28 campaign, the 2024-2025 season.

Even more wild that there’s a faint chance of him doing it by the end of next season if he can put up another 150 point season if he scores 153 this year. Not expected, but he’s really made a lot of people rethink what is possible in today’s game (or should have at least).

 

[TheAngryHank]

So yeah: McDavid just tied Rick Nash and Milan Hejduk in career points (805) in just his 546th game. He's on pace for a 150 point season. But he's still a poser according to some.

Thats some perspective.

 

[Future GOAT]

The writers decided it was Matthews' turn to win something

This exactly.

 

[TGOSnipes99]

This could have easily been a 5/6 point night from Connor so far. Set up some point blank chances and had one himself

This exactly.

Even the boys on SNET Toronto admitted this.

 

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Just needs to play Pittsburgh more often, then 180 would be possible.

 

[Koivu11]

4 pts tonight puts him on pace for 151.

[Cup or Bust]

Too bad McDavid can't play defense like Crosy.

yeah man. Sh** player unless he wins a Selke too

 

[jigglysquishy]

After 59 games
46 goals 63 assists 109 points
22 more than Draisailt
28 more than Kucherov

Last year after 59
33 goals 52 assists 85 points
1 more than Huberdeau
2 more than Draisailt

He can't will his team to Stanley cups.

When mcdavid gets his cups, not if, this will no longer be a discussion. He will sign for 3m a year to get a cup and cement his legacy as a top 2-3 player of all time

 

[iCanada]

Tbh McDavid pretty unlucky to only have 4 tonight.

Skated circles around Pens tonight. 10 bell chances every shift seemingly without breaking a sweat.

 

[authentic]

Who thinks he beats Kucherov's 128 by game 70? I think he would need to do that to set himself up for a 150 finish.

very possible, I'd say he's the only player most likely that could pot a 4-5 point game multiple times until the season ends.

 

[LTIR]

Because Matthews is a center and won the Hart and Lindsay

Which was a joke in itself ala the Hart for Hall.

So yeah: McDavid just tied Rick Nash and Milan Hejduk in career points (805) in just his 546th game. He's on pace for a 150 point season. But he's still a poser according to some.

Are these 2 in HHoF? Too lazy to look up

No. But they were star players who competed for the Richard trophy at their peak.

He always comes guns a blazing vs Crosby for some reason

 

[KCC]

Man, imagine if McDavid wins the hart, Ross, Lindsay and rocket.

Would he play them all I think 1.88, 4.5% higher than his current 1.8 ppg pace.

He's just short of his run when he had 105 in 56 games in the Pandemic all Canadian division year. Super close though.

With 26 games left he's going to have to clip at 2 points a game to get there. Me thinks he will fall short but it's McDavid. If anyone can do it it's him. lol. If I was betting I would say no but it would be really cool to see.

Now he's got 109 in 59. That is a current pace of 1.85PPG. He needs 41 in 23, which is 1.78ppg.

He can relax a bit.

 

[WarriorofTime]

I wonder if Crosby asked the best player of the last 30 years for his autograph after witnessing that greatness on display live tonight.

 

[Video Nasty]

He always comes guns a blazing vs Crosby for some reason

Probably out to make a point how much better he is. Been that way since McDavid entered the league really. Crosby’s days of winning Art Rosses were over before he even hit 30 because of McDavid. Well, he also finished behind the likes of Benn, Tavares, and Kane before then too. And of course not winning the Art Ross in 15 out of the last 16 seasons.

It's crazy that he's lapping Kucherov who is third in scoring by almost 30 points. lol.

he just wasn't the same after his injury back in 2011, without that injury I think he would've won more hardware and lead the league more.

There is 4 concurrent Mcdavid threads on the main board. All talking about the same thing.
