5pt night for McDavid (and goty candidate?)

[Star Ocean]

I don’t think McDavid loses the point lead again after his next game.

Macjesus is a lock to win

 

[Frosty415]

I'm not sure what's happening here, it's like you've dropped me into your argument about GPG.

Reading this thread I'm not even sure what the point you're trying to hammer home is

i think he just likes Crosby

 

[Trap Jesus]

Last night was the GOTY-exaggeration night on HF

 

[Seachd]

Awesome night for Connor, but GOTY worth goal???? yeah right, meh goal, nothing special about it, the only special thing was the lofty pass.
Sonny Milano in the other hand takes the lead in GOTY with his goal.

The pass was the least impressive thing about the goal.

But.. but.. Matthews is apparently better than McDavid.

Can you not? You guys are the ones who are obsessed with Matthews, not Leafs fans who have been pretty rational for the most part.

 

[WillTheThrill]

Greatest skater we’ve ever seen. Oilers fans are so lucky that they get to watch him on their team. I find it hilarious though that Matthews was brought up on first page of this thread. Rent free.

 

[Zerotonine]

And the funny thing is he is usually a slow v started. Take in the fact you figure he would of been off to a slower start due to injury this could be something special.

Isn't usually about till Jan when he really gets going

I said before season started McDavid and draisaitl will finish 1 - 2 this season

To be fair last october there was a few leaf fans (and threads) claiming Matthews>McDavid

glad some of you saw the light

 

[Frank Drebin]

I'm thinking that McDavid is this generations Gretzky. I'm NOT saying he's as good as Wayne, but in the same way that Wayne was dominant in the eighties, Connor might be dominant in twenties (ok...saying twenties sounds odd).

The roaring 20s

 

[LarKing]

The roaring 20s

Except this time alcohol and other drugs are legal.

 

[Mr Tadakichi]

What if his farts smelled like pixie dust?

What if? lol

Imagine the smell...

 

[sepHF]

Kind of funny, because he still looks "off". He's not nearly as dynamic as he was in the past seasons.


Drai has arguably been a lot better than him this season.

Does he really look off though? What do you mean?

I've watched everygame he looks great to me

it's not leafs fans or even matthews himself that's the problem,
it's the toronto media. blame them
it's an october tradition for them to bring this up

 

[GoBuds14]

But.. but.. Matthews is apparently better than McDavid.

99.9% of Leaf fans are fully aware who is the better player between the 2...

Its annoying when fans do this

 

[sepHF]

One man team (joking they're really a 2 man team with Draisaitl).

who's leading the league in goals? :p

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

He’s on a 199 point pace. Lol.

Somehow it doesn't feel wrong to type that either. lol.

 

[HugginThePost]

Hockey Gods realize that Toronto has had every advantage you could possibly have in building an NHL team. They did justice by letting the Oil have it. Time to accept and move on T.Dot, and stop attacking your own home grown talent in McD cause he's not a Leaf.

Jesus.....the irony in this statement.

 

[Perfect_Drug]

Feet were mostly there. Hands were not. Lots of flubs, missed passes, passes into skates. tons of turnovers.

Even last game that line's CF% was 26%. They were getting absolutely dominated the entire night with the exception of those 2 goal and the PP.

The score was flattering. Being outshot 52 - 22 wasn't them playing at their best. I'd imagine most Flyers fans are pretty pissed off at that loss.

 

[Galactico]

Fantastic player and truely the successor of Greztky and Lemieux. Better than Crosby ever was. However, the NHL really does a poor job marketing him. I remember Crosby having way more hype when he came into the league. I know McDavid is playing in Canada, but I can't help but think something is wrong with the NHL's marketing department. FFS, McDavid only has 740k followers on Instagram. Big booty no name h*es get 2-3 million followers on IG easily. They have to take advantage of his greatness and put the spotlights on him. It doesn't help that he is really average looking and not really charismatic though.

The problem with marketing Mcdavid in Canada is its mostly all leafs talk all the time. The Eastern media even ignores the Habs possibly more than the Western Canadian teams. If he were to be marketed properly he would have to play in Toronto.

Holy crap...I realize you're facing (arguably) the best player in the world, but you have to defend better than that. Yes, pushing on his stick is going to stop the MVP.

[Tad Mikowsky]

McDavid showing not only why he’s the best in the game, but deservedly why he’s in the generational tier.

Grace period be damned.

 

[GoBuds14]

100%. Sid’s peak season came with a collection of Colby Armstrong and Mark Recchi.

Ovechkin’s best season came when he out 33 more points than his center.

Not trying to take anything away from McDavid. We just don’t need to make sensational posts like “we haven’t seen this since the ‘90s”.

This x1000. Look at Crosby's line mates throughout his career. People have short memories I guess. Sid has never consistently played with a Drai or a Backstrom on his line.

That being said, McDavid might go down as the best since Mario. He NEEDS some playoff success though
