MacKinnon has been overrated as hell up until the last few years. And even then it took the dude a decade playing in the league to finally hit 100 points in a season. And when they won the cup he wasn't even close to the best player. Makar was. He won the Conn Smythe. Without him, the Avs don't win that year and MacKinnon is still stuck in mediocrity. His trophy cabinet only has a cup, lady byng and a calder. That's it. Yes he's having a good season, finally but geez. People act like this guy has been top of the league every season winning tons of awards. He hasn't.
MacKinnon actually has missed stretches of games fairly frequently over the past few years. His PPG is actually quite high. His game also translates very well during playoffs. Definitely not overrated at all.

Let’s see if McDavid can leave this game with the scoring lead. I would expect him to fall back again with both Kucherov and MacKinnon still on tap for today, but what a comeback to land there briefly just 67 days after being down by 22 points, which includes time off for the All-Star break.

Lowkey needs to start shooting at certain times. 100 assists is nice, but McDavid's selling himself short with his missed shot opportunities, always looking for that pinpoint pass.

he wants the Rocket too

still 10 games left after today, should be doable with 4 goals per game or so

Getting word from around the league that McSelfish blatantly looked (and flipped) off Darnell Nurse on the bench when he scored that goal. Looks like the Captain has once again started caring more about individual stats than setting up his teammates for goals.

So all tied up with equal games to go. I know who my money's on.
It was always McDavid's to lose. Mackinnon and Kucherov honestly never stood a solid chance IMO with how many points McDavid could produce in just a sample number of games. His strong reputation of being a production juggernaut and his tendencies to finish his seasons strong should've been the clear indicator that he was coming back eventually.

+ All those games in hands lol

It's a bit premature to annoint a winner. Watch Kucherov or MacKinnon answer with a 5pt game.

McDavid to 125 points in 70 games. It's too bad the injury early on, even just without the missed games he'd have made a run at a consecutive 150 point season. With a fully healthy year he'd maybe have broken 2.00 points per game.
