Out of curiosity I checked how many point Timmy needs in his next 100 games to stay ahead of Draisaitl.
If I got it right he needs 120 points to tie Draisaitl after 400 games, and 121 or more to stay ahead.

It's possible but won't be easy, even with the increase in scoring. I think Timmy will pull it off, but his lead will likely shrink a bit.

Respectfully, I disagree. Most of Stu’s secondary assists was him making the plays and creating space for the second pass and goal. Saw many times where he used his speed to enter the zone and make the spaces for the eventual goal.

An underrated thing about his game this year is how much his puck handling and speed mess up the opposing defense's structure. A *lot* of the reason we're hemming teams in 5v5 is because of how disruptive we're being with shuffling players around, and Timmy's a big factor in that. Getting mismatches or pulling guys out of position is huge in today's game, and all the great teams do it well.

If you confuse the D or make them desperate they get out of position and it opens up those additional passes.

I agree he is making some good plays but that is hardly "dominating" the game which is what I disagreed with.

Reading that made me realize how absurdly good Draisatl is. Probably the 2nd best forward in the league after McDavid with the sheer offensive output. Hoping Stu surpasses Drai, especially in playoff point production where Drai is an even biggest beast.

That's basically a 99 pts pace per 82 for the next 100 games, he's currently pacing at 109 pts per 82, and paced at 88 pts/82 games over the last 3 seasons, which includes last years down year due to that wrist injury.

Sadly, Timmy doesn't have a McDavid to help him out...
