Art Ross Thread Part II: 2018-2019 season

[DitchMarner]

If the Flames line can get hot again and score 3-4 goals a game like they were for a period, Johnny will take off. They've only been getting 1 a game for a while now. When they get back to 3-4 a game I think Gaudreau will take off and leave everyone in the dust.

Kucherov's team isn't too bad offensively...

It's rare to catch the flu more than once a year, and the average adult gets the flu twice per decade. According to Google anyways.

Elite Athletes More Susceptible To Common Illnesses, Research Suggests

Elite athletes get sick more often. So many sources for this.

All this talk leads me to think that it's a possibility that McDavid is a hypochondriac

 

[daver]

When he doesn't do well he's "sick", and when he does do well, it's "despite being sick". It's nonsense. Unless he's also the best at getting sick. Edmonton should find a new doctor.

Assuming he was healthy at the beginning of the year, that being sick has affected his production rings pretty hollow. His Art Ross placing has been pretty consistent whether he has been sick or not this year or over the past three years.

Then why don't the hundreds of other elite athletes in the NHL get sick nearly as often?

Or does the fact that he's the best, also mean he's the best at getting sick? Lol

They do, it's just not a story because their last name isn't McDavid and/or they don't play in Canada.

Always good to be above average - I get the flu two or three times just about every year (last year I got sick three separate times for three straight months).

 

[Syckle78]

Bro if you're at the point of mocking and questioning someone for getting sick its time to take a step back from sports.

Should probably get yourself checked out then.

Seems like you are just looking for anything to cling to at this point. Lol

Might be time to get the flu shot

You can't get the same strain of flu multiple times a year, unless your immune system isn't working properly. So he would have to have contracted 2-3 different strains of flu every year. Over a decade, that's 20-30 different strains of flu.

He needs to go to a hospital, and have doctors figure out why he's contracted more strains of the flu than anyone else in the world lol if this is true (it's not) he may be the ultimate flu fighting machine, and we need to learn from him.

Insecurity because you know Mcdavid is going to dust both Rantanen and MacKinnon in the scoring race?

I don't know. You tell us why you are beleaguring the point.

I average about twice a year. .

Rantanen has more points than McDavid, and MacKinnon is 2 behind. I'm not really concerned.

People that travel a lot get sick a lot. You're overthinking this.

You should be. Finnish have no finish. Fact.

Based on what? MacKinnon matched McDavid's PPG last year.

I'm glad our water company attacked Nicholson for that comment. We got some of the best water in North America.

That's exactly what somebody who's been drinking the water in Edmonton would say . . .
