McDavid Slowing Down

[Jordan Belfort]

How do feel about Aaron Judge ? There was those 3 games in a row he didnt hit a homerun

Aaron judge will never touch a guy like Ruth in sheer star power or ability

 

[Hockey 4 Life]

Even generational players have rough patches. He will be fine, Edmonton on the other hand looks meh this season.

I have never been wrong. Very good with sports predictions. Have won around 10k by betting.

Did you bet the laughable Leafs to win the Stanley Cup in the last few years?? Oh, wait...

 

[Jordan Belfort]

Every squirrel finds a nut here and there. Contract year. Look at his shooting % too.

Please list what Horvats numbers have been the last 5 years as well.

here is what makes 97 what he is.

Who are you going to bet say 1 million dollars on to win an Art Ross before a year starts? McDavid or a guy like Bo Horvat, Roberston, etc?

That doesn’t really mean anything though. Just because he has the best odds doesn’t mean he will win

Did you bet

why would I bet on the leafs? That would be a terrible decision considering their track record.

You realize what happened the last time a thread like this was created, right?

Pretty sure it was a leaf fan too

He lives rent free

On Huberdeau and Weegar signing in Calgary:

Yes but they wont resign

 

[Three On Zero]

McDavid is amazing and, by a very clear margin, the best player in the league (and absolutely deserving of the term "generational").

But, in a way, you are right. Every year, come October/November, I hear about how McDavid is going to prove he's "better than Gretzky" and score 150 points. And, yet, it never happens.

One day, people will realize there is only one Gretzky.

Still waiting for him to be better than Crosby, Gretzky isn’t even consideration yet

It was George

 

[SnipeShowJB11]

Little OT, but WTF were the Stars doing nickel and diming Jason Roberston?

 

[Jordan Belfort]

On Huberdeau and Weegar signing in Calgary:

I mean doesn’t seem to be working out too well for them

 

[Craft Beer Lover]

And yet once again, the pundits predicting McDavid hitting 150 points are wrong.

Only 4 points in his last 5 and 12 in his last 10. Good, but not the generational level we expect.

Robertson (who?) about to pass him in points and Horvat, yes, Bo Horvat, now has more goals.

This happens every year with his hot start and inevitable cliff fall while he cruises and wins the art Ross by 4-5 points.

Say what you want but he’s not that far off his peers. Still the best, but might not even win the Ross with other players out playing him.

Wake me when Austin Matthews beats McDavid out for the Art Ross.

I agree. Kane leaving may have had something to do with it as well as that scrub Finnish player has 0 points in his last 15 games.

It’s crunch time though. Can’t get out scored by Jason Robertson

Where was Kane for his first three Art Ross trophies?

You reaaly need to work on your attempts at humor.

0/2 in this thread.

 

[Pip]

What?

Its no where near cruch time, what are you on about?

Tbf as a Leafs fan he would have no idea when crunch time is

 

[Zerotonine]

Incoming 4 pt night thanks from every oilers fan watching the game tonight

 

[WetcoastOrca]

News flash! Even generational players occasionally have slumps.
Details at 11:00 pm!

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

Thank you. I am always right.

Now 1/3 for humor attempts.

 

[GM Armchair]

McDavid could take the rest of the year off and still be levels above his peers. No one comes close to McDavid.

If you were that good you would be worth and make a lot more betting wise then that measly amount.

 

[nowhereman]

Oh, I'm on the same page. Personally, I'd take Sid over him. But it's razor thin close.

Gretzky, on the other hand...

You think JP is better than Kane? Come on

Starting to feel creepy.

I’m sorry that Matthews scoring 11 goals in 24 games and not being the automatic 60-70 goal scorer your kind championed him as has led you to make such a thread about a player who is on his way to his 3rd consecutive Art Ross (5th overall), 3rd Hart, and 4th Lindsay.

McDavid has been scoring at well over a 1.5 PPG clip for almost 5 years now (1/1/2018 to present day). Think about that when you’re crowing about a 4 points in 5 games slump (or 5 in 6). He’s obviously going to nuclear again, possibly as early as this game that’s about to start.

Put aside your pointless allegiance to stitching on a sweater that you happen to be a fan of only by happenstance. You might become an actual hockey fan at that point and not just another knuckle dragging toadie.

So does that mean that Auston Matthews isn’t generational?

 

[jigglysquishy]

McDavid's last 6 years have point finishes of 1,1,2,2,1,1. The only players in NHL history to have finished top 2 in points more times than McDavid are:

Gretzky - 13
Esposito- 8
Lemieux- 7
Howe - 7
Jagr - 7

It's an insane accomplishment. Another top 2 finish places him tied for 3rd all time.

Only Gretzky and Esposito did it in consecutive years.

Oh, I'm on the same page. Personally, I'd take Sid over him. But it's razor thin close.

Gretzky, on the other hand...

Depends if you want the speedy offensive minded forward or the more methodical two way play maker.

McDavid is likely to surpass Crosby when all is said and done though
