Nikita Kucherov is the clear favorite for the Art Ross Trophy

[Despote]

How has he emerged as the favorite, what has he done to set him apart? Seems the basis for putting him 1st is based entirely off the 2018 thing, seems petty

He has the narrative. In reality any one of Kucherov, MacKinnon or McDavid deserves the Hart, but the voters will certainly give it to MacKinnon.

he deserves it TBH. As an Oiler fan, he kinda got robbed the year Leon won it. 93 points when the next highest scorer on his team had 50? Dude put the Avs on his back that year.

I think its over

Mcdavid with an early goal

He will run away with it. Witnessing greatness

If he wins I doubt he wins by more than a few points. Hard to run away with it against this competition

How has he emerged as the favorite, what has he done to set him apart? Seems the basis for putting him 1st is based entirely off the 2018 thing, seems petty from journalists but I get it. I just don't see an actual legit argument based on play.

Near identical production and better all around play isn’t an argument?

 

[Rschmitz]

Explain how he has better all around play

 

[BalButtercluck]

Mcdavid will win. Its unbelievable hes going to, but he will.

 

[Video Nasty]

As @Nathaniel predicted, there’s no way McDavid is getting 110, let alone 120.

Of course, he meant one of these other guys:

what if Eric McDavid IS the Connor McDavid we all know

 

[JoeSakic13]

Ok as much as I hate this topic becoming a McDavid chat, are we gonna gloss over the fact that there’s a David McDavid out there?

He played pond hockey with Gordie Howe. David McDavid has assured us that McDavid can pass him in the Big Five.

 

[GrumpyKoala]

Hu oh, another point...
Object in the mirror are closer than they appear.

 

[Video Nasty]

Assist 94 gives him sole possession of 19th most in a season.

With a period to go for both the Avs and Oilers, the scoring race is:

Kucherov 124 with 10 games left.
MacKinnon 123 with 9 games left.
McDavid 121 with 11 games left.

Next point ties McDavid with Shane Doan for 105th on the all-time scoring list. 903 games quicker.

McDavid has now scored 105 points in his past 53 games.

It's almost eerie to think about how good that boi was for the Otters.

 

[MessierII]

He just got another one. Kucherov is hearing the footsteps of doom

 

[koyvoo]

What a race we got!

 

[Despote]

McDavid will take the scoring lead Saturday against Ducks most likely.

 

[Video Nasty]

Someone check on Nathaniel.

 

[Bozo Nicholson]

Damn you, Mick Jesus!

 

[Frosty415]

If he wins I doubt he wins by more than a few points. Hard to run away with it against this competition

Agreed, but he was behind by 22+ points

 

[jigglysquishy]

First time 3 players have hit 120 points since 1996.

First time 3 players have him 121 points since 1993.

McDavid has closed the gap.

 

[Frosty415]

what a great season for the scoring race, top 3 players are legit Superstars, definitely great to see since I grew up watching in the 90s and witnessed the horrible dead puck era

 

[CokenoPepsi]

Another assist for McDavid

 

[Video Nasty]

Take away McDavid’s goals and he would still be 6th in scoring.

Oh, and he of course has more assists than Matthews has points.

 

[6ix]

If Mcdavid wins the AR he should definitely get the hart imo. Didn’t Kuch have like a 20(ish) pt lead at one point?

 

[Macheteops]

Someone check on Nathaniel.

Or not
