Nikita Kucherov is the clear favorite for the Art Ross Trophy

[Coffey]

Another 1 pt game for mcd. Barring injuries to both msck n kuch that's pretty much all she wrote. He should at least finish third in scoring. At 27 would look very bad if he failed to do so

Yea he’s caring about winning games instead of scoring points like HF kept saying over the last 5 years. He doesn’t need to score 4 points a game for the team to win anymore so he’s playing a more defensive role.

It’s nice for everyone on the team.

That's good. It's about time for them. But I also think his peak has come and gone. At 27 he is still in his prime

 

[Coffey]

Yup!

And I do hope Mack wins this year. He’s doing amazing, but Kuch is definitely making a race out of it.

 

[Video Nasty]

I know you really badly want this to happen to rub in certain posters faces but why not just have some patience and hold off on these kind of statements until it's actually officially happened?

Let him have his fun. It’s been years since Crosby thrilled him.

 

[Bank Shot]

I want my cake and I want to eat it too

Aren't you the guy with cake all over his face from doubting Mcdavid last season?

Some people never learn.

 

[ViD]

Pretty sure the Oilers fans are ecstatic their team keeps on winning when McDavid doesn’t have to score all of their points

 

[Caser]

Technically Panarin is born in the transcontinantal part of Russia that considered asia.

So not European. I know.. geography a bitch.

Technically the place where Kucherov is born (Maikop) is frequently considered as Asia on some maps, depending on the Asia/Europe border type selection.

Why is a Crosby fan so concerned with how McDavid looks?

Yep. I would rather see Stanley Cups and Conn Smythes than the other little trinkets.

 

[Kshahdoo]

Kucherov won so much that’s all he cares about now

Tampa just doesn't win without Kucherov's points, that's the problem. And Edmonton wins without McDavid's points very well.

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

He's already passed all their careers imo especially datsyuk

The f***? You really are MacKinnon aren't you?

 

[daver]

Tampa just doesn't win without Kucherov's points, that's the problem. And Edmonton wins without McDavid's points very well.

This was the exact opposite for years until a month ago.

 

[TampaBayLightning]

All I know is that KUCH is dragging the Lightning into ther playoffs all by himself.

What's up with Stamkos and Point?

Yeah, this one is kind of debatable and the reason why I did not include Kuch. But you are correct

 

[Master P]

What's up with Stamkos and Point?

Point is still producing he's got 50 pts in 48 games this year.
He just takes a back seat to Kuch who's on the same line.

Stammer gets pts but doesn't really create much on the ice. A lot of plays die on his stick.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

He’s definitely the favourite at this point but MacKinnon is not far behind.

I think McDavid will just have to settle with that 14 game win streak eh.

 

[Crossfire Hurricane]

Seems like every time Mackinnon catches up, Kucherov takes it personally and goes off for 4+ points. Unreal season for him.

 

[Nathaniel Skywalker]

I think McDavid will just have to settle with that 14 game win streak eh.

So I guess winning only matters now when he's getting eradicated in scoring

If McDavid comes in 2nd or 3rd by a couple of points to career years by Kuch and Mack you will try to exaggerate it while it really wouldn't be a big deal in the overall resume of McDavid.

 

[The Macho King]

TBF it makes sense. Now that Kucherov has two rings he doesn't give a shit about winning anymore and wants more hardware.

Both MacKinnon and Kucherov have won the Cup. Coincidence? I think not.

 

[Nathaniel Skywalker]

But he's not a couple points back. He's what 9th in scoring?

Same could be said about your sudden lack of obsession with PPG when crowing about him currently being 9th in raw points.

9th in points at 27? For supposedly the second best player ever? Not looking good.

But I have a theory. What if mcdavid is just like Lafleur? Without the cups though? Lafleur had that 6-7 year dominant stretch and then that's it. Maybe this is the beginning of that?
