OT: More points this season-- Crosby or McDavid?

[Wolf Without a Howl]

this is actually a really interesting question, kudos to OP.

it's a tough call, i'm really not sure. mcdavid is looking better than even his biggest fans thought he would be doing this early. there was supposed to be more of a learning curve for him than crosby had. crosby was just built to dominate right from the get go. on one hand i cant see an 18 year old winning the scoring title but i think mcdavid is such a smart hockey player that i see him getting a lot better as the year goes on. trying to recall, did sid hit any big slumps in his first season? i dont think he went more than like 2 maybe 3 games without a point, iirc.

one thing i have found really impressive about connor aside from the obvious hands and skating is how he positions himself on the ice. he's done an amazing job at setting little picks on the ice or subtle interference plays or putting himself in a position next to a defender where the defender can't really cover him effectively. i'm not explaining it well but it's there.

sid looks pretty lifeless out there, and the stats for his past ~50 games or so are pretty underwhelming... i think he's averaging under a ppg over that span. though i think ultimately though they will can johnston and get a new coach to wake this team up.... i think in the end sid will end up with more points.

but again great question OP.

I don't know if you're trying to be funny, or you meant to reply under a different username, but either way I peed myself

I like how everyone genuinely believes Crosby will ever be good again.
I voted McDavid: MJ is a coach that doesn't belong in the big league and Sid's either trying too hard and not playing smart or just phoning it in. 50-50 which one you get in each period.

Wait did you just say kudos to yourself? I think you just gave away that you have multiple accounts on here.

If we're lucky.

Either way, pretty funny ****.

How I feel when TTEOT posts another thread about Crosby:

Great post. This is exactly how i feel when TTEOT post too!. We're so in sync!

Before the season started I thought Sid would have a great year. I put down 100 for him. That's not looking too good right now, haha.

And I had McDavid finishing with 70 points.

So I had a 30 point gap. I suspect that will be much closer. I would still put Sid ahead, but I wouldn't put money on it.

Sid definitely has the better talent around him. What McDavid is doing with Pouliot and Yakupov, two very mediocre players, (I don't care where he was drafted at) is amazing so far. Yeah, Sid was carrying an anchor around, if that stays off his neck, he should start seeing more points. Let's hope.

I don't think it will be long, maybe a year or two, before McDavid is the best player in the league.

I agree with you on Yakupov. Never thought too much of him.

Good eye td.

So does TTEOT have multiple accounts and forgot which one he was on or does he have multiple personality disorder?
