God damnit, what is it with you Draisaitl fanboys?! There is no way Draisaitl will get the Conn Smythe if McDavid breaks the assist record while being injured! It gets so tiresome that everytime Draisaitl overperforms with the help of McDavid, us true McDavid fans need to correct you and bring you back to reality! It's like you need to learn by the numbers in order to get it:
McDavid is on a serious run to try and break Gretzky's single season playoff assist record (he did it)

Victim of his own standards. 34 points would be a Smythe for anyone else.

Pretty disappointed by McD he is usually more dominant visually than he's been these playoffs. I suppose he might actually be a real human in the end.
136 players have played at least 6 games these playoffs (ie 1 full round) and scored 1 goal or more.
Out of all 136 players - McDavid ranks 117th for shot % with 6.3%.
I wonder if he really is injured, and if it's affecting his shot?

Something is up. 64 goals. To 32 is a huge drop. He is also 27 now. While not old is no longer a spring chicken

I pop into a McDavid thread, no surprise that a certain user is in here making lots of negative comments about a certain #97.
You need another hobby lol.

I think it's either a bum shoulder or wrist. It's not just his shot that's off, but also his stickhandling has been sloppy. He can't seem to control the puck for more than 5-10 seconds without fumbling the puck, completely out of character of him.

He has 137 points (109 assists, +48) in his last 72 games since November 24th. He had 138 in his first 72 games last year (60 goals) before finishing with the 153. Since the awful start and injury causing missed time he’s reached his 2021 and 2023 level again statistically but you can see that something is bugging him and has been. I do think the injury has caused major issues with his shot and goal scoring this year but with the data here it is amazing how versatile he is. It’s also amazing that his playoff ppg (draisaitl’s as well) is Lemieux level at the moment without era adjustment.
109 assists in 72 consecutive games is 1.51 per game and would be good for the best non Gretzky assist per game before even era adjusting. 60 goals in 72 games last year is exactly what Auston Matthews did through 72 this year and McDavid did it on 6 less shots. A player showing he can be the best goal scorer in a single season for his era one year and then have the ability to show second best ever playmaking ability the next is sickening even if he is injured this year.

He’s not a Drai fanboy. He’s a Crosby fanboy/Mcdavid hater. He only constantly hates McDavid because he knows that by the time McDavid retires he will be considered multiple levels above Crosby. Pretty sad how obsessed he is with hating.
Mcdavid is second in scoring in the playoffs this year. Crosby wasn’t top 15 in 2016 by the same round. But sure continue spreading Narratives. Doesn’t change the fact that Crosby has two of the weakest Smyths and that McDavid>>>>>Crosby as a player.

There has to be something wrong with McDavid. He's really struggling out there. His last few points have been more points that lucky grinders usually score than skilled hockey superstars like himself.

He was outstanding in 2022. Despite the stat sheet, he has not been good enough this postseason. Not only that, he's been responsible for goals against.
He's either injured or exhausted from having to carry the team. Draisaitl has really slowed down too.

Things will only get tougher from here on.
Not just right now against Dallas but next season and beyond the West is on the rise as McDavid approaches 30

Do yourself a favor, take the summer off and come back here at beginning of the regular season in October. You're still making yourself look bad. Take a break and maybe by then, you'll learn some new things.
Some credit has to be given to Dallas for keeping him in check.
Is he nursing an injury (no pun intended)?
Possibly but so are a lot of players.
