I don’t understand how a 22 year old can be more “seasoned” than another 22. Odd way of boosting Crosby.It doesn’t matter. Crosby at 22 was a far more seasoned player than Mcdavid is right now. Crosby at 22>
And in that case, it’s pretty much insignificant regardless. Both of their first playoffs were nothing special.I am not comparing Crosby’s playoff resume to McDavids, I simply quoted someone who asked someone else to compare McDavids first playoff to Crosby’s first playoff, which I did. Nothing more, nothing less. I’m strictly comparing their first year like the original poster I quoted asked.
It’s not a hot take to claim that McDavid was disappointing and was clearly outplayed by Draisaitl. Does that make Draisaitl a better player? No, because they’re clearly not the same quality of player. Does that make Draisaitl the better playoff performer? Hard to tell because of the small sample size, but he had a better start even though I expect McDavid to lap him by the end of their careers.
I never said otherwise. I agree he was disappointing. It’s very hard to tell, could have been a fluke for all we know....but at the same time we will never know until they are both in the post season.
