Davo is the f***ing man. This fanbase is truly blessed to likely see his and Draisaitl's entire career here.

Dale Hunter is Dale Hunter, but he past him on the all-time chart in fewer games than the difference between them.
McDavid is amazing.

Just looking at career points and McD will very likely pass the career totals of guys like Nicklas Backstrom, Doug Weight, Patrice Bergeron, Martin St. Louis, Daniel Sedin, Joe Pavelski, Pat Verbeek, Henri Richard, Keith Tkachuk, Henrik Sedin, outside shot at passing Theoren Fleury and Glenn Anderson THIS SEASON. Which would already move him into the top-70 all time in points.
This guy is unreal. Simply unreal.

This. I just wish he would be a bit more selfish and quit trying to be the 'better teammate' to get scrubs going. Imagine how many points he'd have if he didn't pass one off to the Ryans and Browns on the team and made the shot himself

Love watching McDavid play and along the way seeing his point totals grow, season and career.
Heard an interesting “fact” the other day on a sports pod (thinking it was Steve Valiquette on the Kyper/Bourne show, but don’t quote me for sure).
In the years that Kane, Toews, Crosby, Ovechkin all won SCs they all had some of the lowest point scoring totals of their careers. Implication being that they focused moreso on overall team defense and play, versus personal stats, on their way to a championship. Stamkos, Kuch, McKinnon weren’t named because I think it was just a flippant comment made, versus a deep dive statistical analysis of all SC winners in say the past 20 years.
Has anyone ever seen an analysis such as this? Wouldn’t be hard to create I guess.

I hear you but that unselfishness is one of the traits that make guys want to go through the wall with and for him.

I think quite a few of us had the pleasure to watch Gretzky during his time in Edmonton. While he will always be the GOAT for me, I must say McDavid's combination of skill and speed makes him for me the most exciting player I have ever watched. Gretzky was often subtle. McDavid at full tilt is something else.
The Oilers should use this exact metric when they ask McDavid to re-up here. The two of them have history making numbers, no other duo in the league is even close.

Gretzky and Kurri 1980-81 to 1987-88 2380 points. But I doubt many 80's pairs would have even been much ahead of McDavid/Draisaitl. A remarkable accomplishment.
Joke stat of the day:
McDavid currently sits outside of the top 100 in penalties drawn this year.
