Is Makar the second best player in the league?

[PuckMunchkin]

Well ya, cause we have nobody to shut down Makar!

And he had 5 pts and a -1 in game 4!
SOME DMAN

McDavid should have shut down Makar.

Being the better player.

Ya kept him to 7pts in 4 games. He really shut him down.

Not sure what you're trying to argue, Makar was clearly better than McDavid was in that series. Considering how game 1 and 4 went why would it be surprising McDavid had 7 points? Hell Lehkonen had 6 points in that series.

How is Makar better than McDavid? I'm not seeing it. McDavid is on his own tier. He literally drags a corpse around that is the Oilers.

Cause he got 9 pts against the Oilers in the playoffs and outplayed McDavid.
Carrying the decaying corpse that is the Avalanche on his back.

Borderline yes or no. Give another year at least. It’s not a slam dunk if I’d pick Mak 2nd ovrl after Macdavid.

Had that been his job I'm sure he would've done it.

 

[jonlin]

Yes. And looking at salaries, he absolutely is the 2nd most valuable player too.

 

[PuckMunchkin]

Had that been his job I'm sure he would've done it.

He might have tried.

He is the Macdavid of defensemen.........

 

[McVespa99]

Where as Edmonton fans seem to use dumb awards voted on by the media as the basis for greatness.

The Art Ross is voted on by the media?

Poor McDavid, now only the 3rd best player in the league.

He’s definitely #1 in threads on HF. With all due respect that fanbase is insecure as shit

 

[InfinityIggy]

Hes #1 and I am tired of pretending he's not.
