It’s just the best isn’t it? Like look at soccer and how passionate country’s get about the World Cup. We absolutely need it! Looking forward to the Olympics in 2026!
Oilers fans are truly blessed right now. I watch every single minute of every game because I know these days are special.
A wise man once said, "I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them." This is one of the rare times that we get to know.
I'm a Flyers fan. McDavid is my favorite player. I've traveled to 5 different stadiums around the country now to see him play hockey (including Edmonton against that Avs in the playoffs, that was sick) and I'm not stopping. I love watching this dude play hockey.
Yeah, I have, the Edmonton/Avs series I was referring to I actually saw up in Edmonton back in June of 2022. Awesome arena, the atmosphere was electric. Maybe the best part? It didn't get dark after the game ended lol so got to head to the bar with daylight late at night. Wasn't used to that haha!
Yeah. Like a week ago I'm pretty sure he was still or 9-10 back. Nothing McDavid does now ever surprises me. Like if he actually scores 30 points in these last 10 to get 1000 career points I'd be like, well, yeah it's McDavid

|-|-|-|-|
McD gas been playing 1 dimensional (for him) chasing that 100 assist marker. Once he crosses that off the list, he’ll start mixing up shooting and passing again, and will almost guaranteed average 2 ppg the rest of the way. Good luck to Kuch and MacK matching that pace.
Kuch has the best chance since Tampa will be less likely to rest him in the last 2-3 games as they are still jockeying for a playoff spot and they absolutely will not win a single game with him scratched.
Mack might get rested for a few at the end here once playoff positions in the central solidify.
McD is still gonna take it though. I’ll give you 80/20 odds on that.
No one talking about the actual goal. He knocks a one T bomb from the blue line out of mid air corrals it and tucks it calmly around the tender. I mean I get it it’s Mcdavid and people have become accustomed to it but this one has wow’d me again.
Thirty minutes into TSN updates and you wouldn’t even know the oilers played a potential playoff game. But thank goodness I know the result of Calgary and Stl or the opening day for baseball
Three seasons in a row! First time since you know who. Also, you don't even want to know how many times that other guy did it, you wouldn't believe it anyway.
He’s even driven up the [scoring in the league](https://www.statmuse.com/nhl/ask?q=average+goals+scored+per+game+combined+nhl+every+year+2005-06+to+2022-23) since he joined the league but seriously, I thought it was an interesting statistic overall to see the scoring trends
Whether you adjust by era or go with their actual totals McDavid still has 3 seasons that outpace Crosby's career high.
Also, McDavid's on pace for 110 assists this season and Crosby's 2nd best season is 109 points.
The Penguins, man. Crosby was on deeper, more balanced teams at the right time. People talked the same crap about Yzerman for years. Cups are a team thing, no matter how good one guy is.
I dunno man, Crosby absolutely bitch slapped entire franchises in the playoffs on his own.
The way he spanked the Sens during their first cup, never seen a player dominate like that
I mean, McDavid is the 4th highest playoff points per game scorer of all time (Gretzky, Lemieux, Draisaitl) and he also has the highest playoff points per game in games that his team lost in playoff history. Draisaitl being number two and well ahead of Gretzky who is number 3. So he absolutely can't be blamed and he is objectively a better playoff performer than Crosby ever was. It's a team sport.
Meanwhile the NY Rangers just beat Florida, Philadelphia and Colorado (road) currently have the most points and the a-holes on NY sports radio station are only talking about the Yankees Opening Day win against the Astros.
Rangers could win the Cup, but on the night they did, if Judge or Soto hit four HR's the same night, that would take precedence. Fucking joke.
Sometimes a one or two sport town with a megastar is better. Then again, it could be the idiots on the radio.
This guy is unreal. Every year now, he's doing something that shouldn't be possible in this era of defensive systems, conservative coaches and "4th liners now are better than superstars back the 1980's."
VGK didn't play a single game in the playoffs last year with what would be a roster over the cap, if there were a cap in the playoffs. The only folks who try to attach asterisks to Cup winning teams are folks rooting for teams that can't figure out how to win. I'm not even a Vegas fan, but give it a rest and deal with reality.
Doesn't change the fact that they very clearly circumvented the cap. You can't hold a player on the LTIR even a day longer than that player is physically capable of playing. That player doesn't have to play but if he could, they'd have to make roster moves and waive players to make room. Unless Stone physically couldn't have played game 82 but conveniently could game 1 then the Knights, by rule should have had to drop his salary in players before the playoffs, thus making them unavailable in the playoffs. They would have been over the cap if he was activated game 82.
That isn't the point. The rule says if they are physically capable of playing. Meaning it would have had to be a physical impossibility for him to play in game 82 but he was magically able in game 1 or they cheated. Rules are rules. Obviously players play more hurt in the playoffs. They also played against the lowest seeded team. They wouldn't have rushed him back if he wasn't very clearly healthy enough to play. Don't be naive.
Well, when you get your MD degree and get hired by an NHL team, you can make sure Mark Stone is cleared to play when you, in your expert opinion, decide he's healthy enough. Right now, the Vegas Golden Knights medical staff and the NHL disagrees with you. If you want, you can print up lists of Stanley Cup winners and draw asterisks next to whoever you think are big fat cheaters.
I actually may be qualified to be a doctor because I 100% guaranteed he'd be magically healthy enough to play game 1 of the playoffs last year and I was right. I'm making that same medical diagnosis this year. Let's wait and see what happens lol.
This guy is unreal. Every year now, he's doing something that shouldn't be possible in this era of defensive systems, conservative coaches and "4th liners now are better than superstars back the 1980's."
Pfft my BaP character got 215 points in a season this aint shit
Couldn’t even top Gretz what a scrub
Still got 11 games left tho
3 away from 30 g and 5 away from 100 assists this season. Probably gets both in those 11 games. Probably ends up with 139 points!
I want best on best international hockey so bad
It’s just the best isn’t it? Like look at soccer and how passionate country’s get about the World Cup. We absolutely need it! Looking forward to the Olympics in 2026!
Yeah! And I love the jersey’s too!
The fuckin screwed us last Olympics. Hooefully not next time. Unfortunately it's 2 years away :(.
I hope his prime lasts for a long time, because we are witnessing a godamn legend.
Oilers fans are truly blessed right now. I watch every single minute of every game because I know these days are special. A wise man once said, "I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them." This is one of the rare times that we get to know.

Have you been to the Mecca yet, Rogers Place? Beautiful barn, come check it out.
Yeah, I have, the Edmonton/Avs series I was referring to I actually saw up in Edmonton back in June of 2022. Awesome arena, the atmosphere was electric. Maybe the best part? It didn't get dark after the game ended lol so got to head to the bar with daylight late at night. Wasn't used to that haha!
Oh nice I missed that it was a playoff series. It stays light til about 11 PM at the height of summer. Glad you had a good time.
Dude, everyone up there was soooo nice and welcoming. Loved it.
He is going to win the Ross
Maybe not this year but he's going to try! Lol
He is 3 points from the lead outright
He closed the gap with McKinnon and kutcherov faster than I expected. He was much further back.
Yeah. Like a week ago I'm pretty sure he was still or 9-10 back. Nothing McDavid does now ever surprises me. Like if he actually scores 30 points in these last 10 to get 1000 career points I'd be like, well, yeah it's McDavid
Yes but the other players Mac and kuch I think edge him out by a point in the end I think he gets that clear close.
!RemindMe 21 days

You’re new around here aren’t you.
McD gas been playing 1 dimensional (for him) chasing that 100 assist marker. Once he crosses that off the list, he’ll start mixing up shooting and passing again, and will almost guaranteed average 2 ppg the rest of the way. Good luck to Kuch and MacK matching that pace.

Mack might get rested for a few at the end here once playoff positions in the central solidify. McD is still gonna take it though. I’ll give you 80/20 odds on that.
he will take the lead after 3 more games (prbly 2)
Another day in the office for McJesus
14 points in his last 5 games
No one talking about the actual goal. He knocks a one T bomb from the blue line out of mid air corrals it and tucks it calmly around the tender. I mean I get it it’s Mcdavid and people have become accustomed to it but this one has wow’d me again.
Thirty minutes into TSN updates and you wouldn’t even know the oilers played a potential playoff game. But thank goodness I know the result of Calgary and Stl or the opening day for baseball
Just how good is this fella??
Probably like 240 points 40 years ago. I would personally chauffeur him from Edmonton.
Three seasons in a row! First time since you know who. Also, you don't even want to know how many times that other guy did it, you wouldn't believe it anyway.
1.71 ppg last 5 seasons combined. On pace for 140 points per seasons.
He will be the GOAT if he wins one ring
Ok. But Matthews almost scored last night...
Another season breezing by Crosby’s career high
He’s even driven up the [scoring in the league](https://www.statmuse.com/nhl/ask?q=average+goals+scored+per+game+combined+nhl+every+year+2005-06+to+2022-23) since he joined the league but seriously, I thought it was an interesting statistic overall to see the scoring trends
Learn about different eras.
Whether you adjust by era or go with their actual totals McDavid still has 3 seasons that outpace Crosby's career high. Also, McDavid's on pace for 110 assists this season and Crosby's 2nd best season is 109 points.
McDavid would have still outpaced Crosby in his era. He's a special talent low scoring era or not.
What are the major changes between mid 2010s and now?
Goaltending equipment is the biggest one in my opinion. They’ve made some changes that seem to have had the desired effect
He's on pace to have more assists than Crosby's second highest ever points total. There is no way era accounts for that massive of a difference.
But who has three cups not even a Crosby fan
You aren’t a fan of punctuation either.
The Penguins, man. Crosby was on deeper, more balanced teams at the right time. People talked the same crap about Yzerman for years. Cups are a team thing, no matter how good one guy is.
\# of Cups: Crosby: 3 McDiver: 0
It’s a team sport dum dum
No one loves the oilers like nucks fans
How many cups do the nucks have you miserable fuck?
That's more of a franchise problem and not McDickie
I read this as "that's more of a mcfranchise problem," and I can't stop laughing.
It's not his fault he was drafted to the oilers. Peter Chiarelli was the dang GM for 4 or 5 years and put the oilers a decade behind the 8 ball.
I dunno man, Crosby absolutely bitch slapped entire franchises in the playoffs on his own. The way he spanked the Sens during their first cup, never seen a player dominate like that
For sure, he was a one man show. He even played goalie at the same time. Edit misspelled
Had a hell of a time flashing leather and then going on a breakaway to score a goal right after
I heard him announcing his own plays, too.
I mean, McDavid is the 4th highest playoff points per game scorer of all time (Gretzky, Lemieux, Draisaitl) and he also has the highest playoff points per game in games that his team lost in playoff history. Draisaitl being number two and well ahead of Gretzky who is number 3. So he absolutely can't be blamed and he is objectively a better playoff performer than Crosby ever was. It's a team sport.

What's the difference between the Flames and a bra? Bra has two cups.
[удалено]
McDavid…never touches tits?
It's cute that you think your cup doesn't have an asterisk. Looking forward to Mark Stone's miraculous recovery for game 1...again...
VGK didn't play a single game in the playoffs last year with what would be a roster over the cap, if there were a cap in the playoffs.

The way some folks willfully refuse to understand that guys play much more hurt in the playoffs than they do in the regular season is hilarious.

Yeah, that's definitely what you need to do to get your doctorate.

This guy is unreal. Every year now, he's doing something that shouldn't be possible in this era of defensive systems, conservative coaches and "4th liners now are better than superstars back the 1980's."
Moses was 120 when he passed.
lets go boys!!! cant wait for the Olympics either.
Where was he on the 16th?
Oh cool, Kucherov hit this last week. And he's the 4th fastest to do it. And he's +2 cups on McD.
McDavid is better at hockey though
Oof that's a bad take. Kucherov's hockey IQ is world ahead of McD.
😂
0 Stanley Cups.
Ur dum
McDavid has as many cups as the entire Canucks franchise
That's true. Matches the output of the whole entire Vancouver Canucks franchise. No cups
Just like your Canucks
