Player Discussion McDavid

[Gnome17]

He's just ridicoulus. 15 assists in 7 games now. If he kept this pace for 23 games he would beat Gretzkys point record in a playoffs run...By assists alone.
Gretzky at most had 47 points in a run, if McDavid keeps his assists pace up he'd have about 50 assists in 23 games.
Its just unreal.

He's clearly below the McDavid I've seen.
If he can't get back to his best version, I don't think there will be enough matches for him to break any records.

With this goalkeeper and some defenders that the team has, McDavid has to be superhuman as I have sometimes seen him be.

Sure, honestly he's playing fine. The tough part is it's 90s shadowing of him out there, and because he nearly never goes down, he draws few calls.

I have little concern about McDavid overall.

Perlini gives his thoughts on McDavid near the end of the video. Despite the clickbaity thumbnail he said McDavid was very humble, nice and surprisingly funny.

Starting to hear Mcdavid has a bit of a core issue.

That would make sense given how he is playing. Less explosive than normal, and no willingness to shoot (which tells me he doesn't believe in his shot power right now).

He hasn't been himself all season long. I have no doubt that he's hurt but time will tell what it is I guess.

His pass first mentality has gone overboard. Vancouver started to figure it out on the PP late in that series. Hopefully he can at least fire a few snap or wrist shots on Dallas to keep them honest, especially on the PP

He's injured tho so it's not like he can shoot.

I worry this may be the dagger that gets us. The way our team is build we need Mcdavid being Mcdavid.
