Not if your TorontoThat kind of accomplishment elevates a player from generational to GOAT discussions imo.

Until proven otherwise I'll believe he's still playing through the same "nagging injuries" he had all of last season. Except now they're probably worse.Love the win tonight but what is going on with McDavid? He looked awkward as hell turning when Rasmus Andersson scored, tonight he turned awkwardly and got burnt by Sanheim badly, and then on the breakaway he did NOT want to shoot it.
He was looking behind him the whole time like he was going to drop it to someone, was afraid Oilers would have their own Blake Comeau moment for a second there.
He wants to shoot it even less than last year! And he flubbed the breakaway.
2 Assissts though, maybe hes heating up but some of his skating and his shooting are concerns.
Hand(s) obviously bothering him and he hurt it again tonight in that play on the endboards, landed hard on his wrist. He gets hacked so many times some of the artistry and fine motor control with puck probably harder now. Some speed removed too with all the cumulative hacks he's taken over a decade.He's just not the same player as consistently as he used to be. Lacks the speed and stickhandling ability he once had and seems incapable of shooting the puck at all. Who knows what's up but it doesn't seem like something that's going to get better any time soon.
If so the question is why isn't he healthy? Did he try and avoid surgery like he did with his knee except this time it didn't go as well?Until proven otherwise I'll believe he's still playing through the same "nagging injuries" he had all of last season. Except now they're probably worse.
I have to agree with this and maybe his career is just on the downswing.Until proven otherwise I'll believe he's still playing through the same "nagging injuries" he had all of last season. Except now they're probably worse.
Puts up 100 assists and 42 pts in the playoffs last year.I have to agree with this and maybe his career is just on the downswing.
This is a crazy long shot theory, but It almost looks like he has MS or the start of an auto immune disease or some shit
