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

[PULSATING]

It's almost like he's unlocked one of those glitch moves in the old NHL games that can't be stopped with the 5 hole shots. He probably has about a dozen that look incredibly savable that ended up as goals.

I feel like he has "solved" these un-athletic giant goaltenders.

Seemingly every game I watch now he scores a five hole goal. Never seen anything like it before.

 

[BallardEra]

16 points in 12 games to hit 150.

Sharks and Coyotes up next.

You got the giant part right anyway

 

[Grifter3511]

I would love to get a @Garbageyuk & @Jordan Belfort take on how mcdavid's season is winding down.

 

[La Bamba]

16 points in 12 games to hit 150.

Sharks and Coyotes up next.

Connor is due for a 6 point game.. dude's been too humble with these 3 point games

160 is a nice number

 

[BallardEra]

McDavid needs 12 goals in his last 12 games to hit 70 goals.

He has 14 goals in his last 12 games.

I'd like to see a push for 70 goals which I think will require at least one hat trick or 4-goal game

 

[Homesick]

16 points in 12 games to hit 150.

I don't think he'll get 16 points in the next two games but at least 12

Posted a couple weeks back. Glad to be wrong and I’m enjoying the show.

What we are witnessing is absolutely insane history.

And people on Facebook, Twitter, HF and any other site will still say “Why do you keep talking about McDavid?!?”

The IQ of the world has fallen by a frightening amount.

 

[Yepthatsme]

I'd wager he will surpass 1,000 career points (regular season) before the end of the 2023-24 regular season unless he has some kind of injury. In fact, people can actually quote me on that. Best player since Gretzky (and, to some extent, Mario), hands down.

McDavid is on pace for a crazy 157 points right now. The last time that happened was in 1995-96, a season that actually had less goals per game than this year. Lemieux coming off a season where he was limited to 22 games, put up an incredible 161 points at the age of 30. It also only took him 70 games to do it.

People forget how good Lemieux was, there is no extent McDavid is better than him other than health. Lemieux was on pace for 189 points in a lower scoring environment than today, and that was after injuries had already started taking a toll.

So he's getting 150 in the next 2 games

Whats more impressive: 70G or 160P?
I think i'd prefer the 70G. Matthews fan club will be in shambles.

 

[CpatainCanuck]

If the Oilers' playoff position is set with 2-3 games left, it will be interesting to see if the Oilers rest McDavid or allow him to go for a milestone like 150 points or 156 points.

More like Oilers are losing 5-2 and 4-1.

Why not both?

He will play, and he should play.

This isn't a run of the mill superstar season here. McDavid is chasing history. It would be offensive to not allow him to do that.

If healthy definitely. If he happens to be nursing an injury or actually suffering from fatigue at that point in the season it might be a different story.

 

[Hockey 4 Life]

70 goals and 160 points he's a beast and a menace.

 

[Hynh]

Today he reached 110 primary points (goals+primary assists) to pass Thornton's 109 primary points for the most since Lemieux's 125 in 1995-96.

Edit: As pointed out below, I can't add. 101 was the previous best, held by Jagr and Ovechkin.

Worth pointing out his estimated powerplay time for that season was around 7 minutes, of which he played with a peak Jagr who is even better than Draisaitl, and Ron Francis.

Not taking away from him either, but when you say that season was lower scoring you are talking like .02 lower or something, a negligible difference. That same Lemieux went on to put up 27 points in 18 games and McDavid just put up 33 in 16. All in all I would take this current McDavid over 1995-96 Lemieux in a vacuum. His two-way play is also world's better.

Today he reached 110 primary points (goals+primary assists) to pass Thornton's 109 primary points for the most since Lemieux's 125 in 1995-96.

Are you sure he had 109 primary points? I thought it was 71 primary assists and 29 goals

 

[blundluntman]

150 is basically guaranteed. I really never thought I'd see the day someone did it. I was 2 years old when Mario did it in 96

Barely. Many calculations count the phantom goal awarded for winning a shootout as a goal in their averages. When you remove those (as you should since a player can't get a point on those phantom goals) you get 6884 in 2190 games (as of the numbers published on NHL.com right this second) or 3.1434 per team per game. 1995-96 had 6701 goals in 2132 games for 3.4131. That's a difference 0.02 goals per team over an 82 game season.

That's what I get for trying to do simple math in my head.

Not a chance in hell

 

[Captain Controversy]

This is selfish of me as a Mcdavid fan but...



I want him to have 170 points.



70 goals, 100 assists.
