Art Ross thread (2018/19)

[T-Funk]

Kucherov goes without a point again tonight

It's because his teammates are so good, it apparently prevents him from putting up points.

 

[BallardEra]

I’m not even sure why someone would have an issue the clear best offensive player in the league winning 3 straight scoring titles.

It wasn’t boring when Gretzky and Lemieux dominated the Art Ross for 15 years. It was incredible to watch.

It wasn’t boring when Jagr did it. It was amazing to witness.

Simple answer.

That's because it's not their favorite player doing it.

A shocking revelation from an expert. Indeed playing superhuman minutes per game apparently does not increase production at least linearly, if we are to believe this hobo:

We found one of the world’s most experienced track and field coaches in Les Gramantik, who in 45 years as an international coach has made a living maximizing athletic performance.
He thinks the Oilers are squeezing McDavid and Draisaitl too hard.
“I think you’re mortgaging your future on the current results,” said Gramantik. “The results, in my opinion, would be the same if McDavid played four or five minutes less, because of the (benefits of) recovery.

Young athlete without injury issues being used too often!

Spector can f*** off.

Track and field, pretty comparable to ice hockey, terrible article

McDavid's recovery is the best Hithcock has seen apparently. Gretzky's was off the charts too.

 

[Nadal On Clay]

Just saw that McDavid has been held pointless in only 6 games this season .

Pretty amazing.

Just saw that McDavid has been held pointless in only 6 games this season .

Pretty amazing.

Another crazy stat

Only 1 time in his career in 4 years has he gone pointless in more then 2 games in a row.

3+ game pointless streaks are not in 97s vocabulary.

 

[jbobell98]

2 more secondary assists tonight for Rantanen. Making him the league leader in secondary assists among forwards and 4th overall in the league.

 

[CokenoPepsi]

McDavid just scored

 

[the mcdavid era]

McDavid just scored

McDavid on a goal scoring tear. 5 goals in last 4 games

 

[GlitchMarner]

McDavid on a goal scoring tear. 5 goals in last 4 games

Four goals behind Ovechkin. I think he's more of a threat to him in the Richard race than Skinner, Point or Landeskog - maybe Tavares as well.

McDavid has 55 goals in his last 78 games. He can score as good as anyone.

 

[Rubi]

Gaudreau scored his 28th goal tonight. He's got 70 pts now.

Track and field, pretty comparable to ice hockey, terrible article

Les Gramantik did coach for the Decatholon, a multi-race event which includes races such as the 100 metre and 400 metres which IMO is as similiar of a track event you could compare to a regular NHL shift. He also focuses primarily on power and speed, so while I don’t think it’s the best article, he does know what he is talking about when it comes to recovery.

I've never once seen a track and field guy be able to glide, and use zero energy while travelling large distances.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Gaudreau scored his 28th goal tonight. He's got 70 pts now.

And just made a beautiful pass to pick up an assist. He could have like 5-6 points easily tonight, he's flying out there.

Up to 71p on the season.

 

[YMCMBYOLO]

I've never once seen a track and field guy be able to glide, and use zero energy while travelling large distances.

Hockey shifts are also around 1-2 minutes in which short bursts are more common than an endurance race.

I never once said they were great comparables but it’s not an outrageous claim.

 

[AvsFan29]

4 players in the 70s now. Nice

 

[Brian McDavid]

Shift lengths are 45 seconds to 1 min... unless you're Ovechkin on a PP.

That's absolutely terrifying considering that hes only going to get better

 

[psycat]

Well McDavid s not all that surprising to me, Gaudreau however is- the fact that he pots as many goals as he does is flabergasting.

 

[BallardEra]

1. Kucherov: 76 points (48 GP)
2. Gaudreau: 71 points (48 GP)
3. Rantanen: 71 points (47 GP)
4. McDavid: 70 points (46 GP)
5. MacKinnon: 68 points (47 GP)

SPOILER

Mcdavid will score 56 points in the last 35 games of the season and win the Art Ross

Maybe? I'm not sure that's a spoiler, or even a bold prediction. Actually you've done nothing but waste everyone's time who had to read that, and mine for having to write this.
