Nikita Kucherov is the clear favorite for the Art Ross Trophy

[robsenz]

How on earth is Kuch only a +1 this year. crazy.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

That is crazy!

He’s +4 5v5 at least, but Tampa’s had weak goaltending this year

Seems weird in general for him to pro-rate MacKinnon into the #2 spot last year when Drai's ppg was higher.

Insert “forgot about Drai” memes

The way it works with the what if game is that only the player needing to be elevated in the argument gets to play all the games they missed, not anyone else ahead of them.

 

[Nathaniel Skywalker]

This is such an embarrassingly bad take. Its going to look even worse 4 months from now.

Let's see. 11 point lead.....

 

[AndreRoy]

He's still a laughable piece of shit who'll go to LTIR when words hurt.

He’s a multiple-time champion and a first-ballot Hall of Famer. If there’s a laughable piece of shit here it’s you.

Lol show me where I said Mac would been second in scoring? He may have been but I never specifically said that. What's weird is you making stuff up in your head and then trying to claim that's what I said.

Going by the basic games played count Drai was on pace for 131, Mac 128. But that ignores the fact that MacKinnon missed nearly an entire additional game. He essentially put up 111 in 70 games last season which prorates him to 130 points. If you need help with the math that would place them 22 and 23 I.e. McDavid's lead would have been "about 20", which I'm pretty sure is all that I said.

*Also when it comes to scoring races people like to compare what a player did relative to the nearest non-teammate for the obvious reasons. Don't act like you yourself haven't played up how McDavid was 40 points ahead of Kuch last season, which is why I didn't bother specifically mentioning Drai.

He's a multiple-time champion because of cap circumvention.

 

[McFlyingV]

4 games in hand and missed 2 to injury. I'm not in the least bit worried.

No he isn’t, but if it makes you feel better about all the failures and lack of accomplishment in your life you go on believing it.

These best X threads always bring out the best in us.

Yes he is. No need to be emotional and aggressive about it. If believing in cheated championship is an accomplishment in life, well maybe you had your first one. All the best.

Yours truly,

Hoochie

Let's see. 11 point lead.....

Connor could theoretically erase that 11 point lead in 2 games. although i believe it ambitious. He is know for getting 8-11 points in as little as 4 games, and oddly enough Connor has 4 games in hand. Koch’s grasp on first isnt iron clad.

And that’s not to mention MacK

 

[AndreRoy]

Haha I’m not remotely “emotional and aggressive” - just pointing out how sad and pathetic you sound.

 

[Hoochi Papa]

Haha I’m not remotely “emotional and aggressive” - just pointing out how sad and pathetic you sound.

And you show it with an emotional and aggressive message. All the best.

[CanadienShark]

That I can agree with. While MacKinnon has basically proven himself to be a 130 pt level player at his peak, remains to be seen if he can do it within one season ofc, his injury prone nature is the problem. But McDavid is still the only player capable of 140+ pts, doesn't necessarily mean he gets there every year though.

I disagree and I think you misunderstand the definition of "capable."

 

[CanadienShark]

Aw muffin...

And you show it with an emotional and aggressive message. All the best.

- Hoochie

You are doing the same, despite your condescending efforts.

 

[Hoochi Papa]

Aw muffin...


You are doing the same, despite your condescending efforts.

Well aren't you a big meanie.

 

[North Cole]

Let's see. 11 point lead.....

Let's see. Jamie Benn.... /discussion

 

[CanadienShark]

Well aren't you a big meanie.

Alright.

 

[Hoochi Papa]

Alright.

Everybody wang chung tonight!

 

[CanadienShark]

Everybody wang chung tonight!

You've had enough to drink.

 

[kugelbahn]

Kuch is back on top by 2,
great race: hockey IQ vs hockey skills

 

[TheStatican]

I disagree and I think you misunderstand the definition of "capable."

Capable - "having the ability, fitness, or quality necessary to do or achieve a specified thing" What am I mistaken about and which other player has proven themselves capable of scoring 140+ points in a season?
