I would like to formally apologize.
McDavid is on a serious run to try and break Gretzky's single season playoff assist record (he did it)

Broke the assist record off the stick of the guy we all expected.... Dylan Holloway.
He might have an incredible year next season.
Any word from Gretzky yet about McDavid crushing his assist record?! Those comments from him about Barkov look pretty ridiculous right now...

The most assists in the playoffs for any player ever. That is truly insane. He has basically double the points of anyone on Florida with way better +/- and advanced stats.
You have to give him the Conne Smythe now with Bobrovsky faltering. So far ahead of everyone else thus far.

Agreed. Absolutely insane. If a player is breaking any of Gretzky’s postseason records, that speaks for itself.
Say what you will about the Oilers through 4 games.
But records held by Gretzky don’t get broken.
The fact that McDavid has taken one is absolutely insane.

I don't think for a second McDavid will win the CS if they lose, but let's say that is in the cards... How far does this series have to go to be within the realm of probability?
If McDavid has 40 points or more when the playoffs end and the Oilers make it to game 6 or game 7, I think he gets it.
If Edmonton wins the Cup, it is guaranteed.

I'm actually surprised out of all the records broken, it was for something Gretzky is best at. Kind of insane.
When was the last time a Gretzky record was broken btw?

Gretzky probably didn't lose as many games as many games as McDavid.

This has cemented McDavid's legacy as a top 5 player of all time, cup or not.

Having a Hall of Fame goaltender like Grant Fuhr didn’t hurt. Who is McDavid’s goalie?? Oh wait...

It is a bit surprising Wayne never had more than 31 assist. For some reason he seemed to be more even in the playoffs.
Also they generally never played more than 18-19 games even when they won the cup. So that's obviously part of the explanation. Wayne's record year over 22 games was at a 36 assist pace. 38 over 23 games and so on. Which would have made it a lot harder to break.

On a per-game basis, Gretzky is still significantly better. His team just took care of business.

i dont feel like looking up what the record is, how many assists does or did McDavid need to beat this?
