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

[Frosty415]

2 points tonight already

 

[Hynh]

2 PP assists tonight puts him at 142 with 7 and 2/3s games to go.

2 PP assists also puts him at 66 PP points which ties 1985-86 Lemieux for the 4th most PP points in a season. Lemieux holds the top 3 spots with 80 (87-88) and two seasons of 79 PP (88-89 and 95-96) points so this is as far as McDavid can rise in that stat

At 82 assists, he is now 5 back of Kucherov for most by an active player. And 5 goals back of Ovechkin for most by an active player.

 

[Oilslick941611]

8 points away from 150

 

[cupface52]

Would really like him to hit 157 at this point. 66 goals and 91 assists to beat out Yzerman's season.

6 goals ans 9 assists in 7 games, and with the way this game has been going with Vegas, looks like he'll put up more than 2 points he already has.

Ties Adam Oates' single-season record

 

[Video Nasty]

With point #142, McDavid has moved past Lemieux’s 141 in 1985-1986 and into a tie with Oates (1992-1993) and Gretzky (1989-1990) for 22nd most points in a season ever (he would win based on the goals tie breaker).

 

[Kerberos]

He hasn't been finishing his chances when it comes to scoring goals the past couple games but I wouldn't be surprised if he scores a couple tonight on a shaky looking Quick.

 

[jcs0218]

McDavid has really slowed down when it comes to goal-scoring.

I wonder if the entire prospect of having to surpass Auston Matthews 60 goal season from a year ago is weighing on him. Perhaps Matthews' shadow is looming large and causing some intimidation.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

This dude is absolutely unbelievable. Yes, it’s a higher scoring era than the 2010s were, but 142 points is the kind of number we have not seen in a very long time.

60 goals is ridiculous, and 82 assists (1 APG) is ridiculous too.

 

[McFlash97]

Speaking of insane .. Leon Draisaitl is absolutely insane too. He's gunning for 130 at this rate.

 

[Future GOAT]

143

 

[McOvechking]

Crazy that the Oilers will have a 150, 120, and 100 point scorer this year.

I know your post is in jest but I'd say it's the 299 barrier. McDavid/Kane/Draisaitl were all sitting on 299 after Saturday. He probably breaks through next game so each player has their own #300 game.

 

[PensandCaps]

No one is even close to this guy. Wouldn't be shocked if he ever breaks Gretzky's point streak. He is basically an automatic point every night.

 

[BallardEra]

143 points in 75 games.

He can go point per game the rest of the way and still hit 150.

Insane.

Milestones don't come easy ,

He just needs to quit dishing to Draisaitl to get his 50 goals. I want selfish(with 82 assists lol) back

 

[gotcha90]

With 3 assists tonight, now needs 14 assists in his last 7 games to have the most assists in a season other than Orr, Gretzky, and Lemieux (tied with Oates).

 

[Cloned]

Goalies are so afraid of McDavid shooting now that his passes are setting up easy tap ins. It used to be that they could overplay the pass and get away with it.

 

[Calderon]

Good guy McDavid lets his teammates shine in their own celebratory games before having his own. The legend grows.

 

[syz]

How many points does he have by now if guys like Yamamoto, Puljujarvi, and Hyman have slightly below average xGF as opposed to the worst in the history of the universe?

 

[Calderon]

Here's a recent stretch of games deliberately chosen to hilight Draisaitl's hot run (only one pointless game since Feb 21st). Funny how he still gets outscored by McDavid by almost 0.3 ppg. Nugent-Hopkins is no slouch either.

 

[BenchBrawl]

The most impressive thing about this season, is if he succeeds in leading the league in both goals and assists.

Since O6, only Howe, Esposito (with Orr), Gretzky and Lemieux achieved that feat. So there's this clear-cut connection with the "Big 4". Everyone else failed to do it.

Kucherov gave him a pretty good fight in the assists race, but I think McDavid has it in the bag after his 3 assists tonight.

 

[KCC]

Only one assist last night? I knew this guy was a bum, he was just on a lucky streak for 75 games.

He had two pretty sub par games after hitting 60 goals. (a point each). Looked like he just completely checked out and wanted a mini break. lol. Tonight he was back and hit 3 assists. He's also still 8 goals up on Pasternak who has 3 in 2 games while McDavid is now goalless in 3 straight. While not impossible if McDavid doesn't score for the rest of the season Paternak could conceivably catch up though not likely.

McDavid has really slowed down when it comes to goal-scoring.

He's def sat back a lot more the last 3 games though I think as well he's been trying to get Draisaitl to 50. lol
