Connor McDavid scores most points in Playoff history without making the playoffs

[Sky04]

Such a lame argument

The truth? Or are the Oilers playing next week? Remind me.

 

[Joey Moss]

The truth?

Nah

 

[Sky04]

Nah

Can't wait for the Oilers series next week, bet it'll be a good one.

Oilers didn't even make the playoffs

Except according to the NHL they did. 24 teams made the playoffs in 2020.

That he had 9 points on his own in a 5 game series, and they lost, is remarkable.

Its not always about McDavid as proven by this thread and the fact that the Oilers are done playing until December 2020
Unfortunately for the Oilers, hockey isn't like basketball where two players can win you the championship.

I wonder.

When the Oilers win 1st overall, if the Senators would trade Chabot for Lafreniere as to get out of paying an yRFA salary, while continuing to pay an ELC salary to their top player?

I just wrote a sparky reply to a Marner/Chabot trade post but this is much different.

If the Sens could get Laf, Byfield and Drysdale in this draft that would be....cool.

Still don't think they would or should. Chabot is special and already a sure thing but the thought is intriguing.

But if these are playoff points, then both teams did make the playoffs.

Its was a play in round the stats count as playoffs stats because agents/players union want to be able to use them during contract neg . Knowing the regular season was cancelled the league allowed the stats to count as playoff stats but really it was just a bone the league throw to players to keep them satisfied .

Teams that lost in the play in round failed to make the playoffs :

Take it up with the NHL I guess.

I was just kidding.

I honestly don't care what they call it.

Well, it was mentioned on your forum that you’d offer up Laffy for Chabot, Tkachuk and two 1OA’s.

So, I’m sure they do a one for one!!

*yes, I know it was a stupid trade offer*

 

[HugginThePost]

What’s amazing is that the Oilers have 3 players in the top 7, points wise.....and lost.

Actually, it makes perfect sense if you look how they are built.

 

[Nico Hischier]

They should have just made the stats in the qualifiers count for the regular season and then name the award winners now after the qualifiers - art ross, etc.

Except according to the NHL they did. 24 teams made the playoffs in 2020.

But only 16 teams made it to round 1.

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

Weird.

It's almost like times are not normal right now.

 

[the4thlinegrinder]

But only 16 teams made it to round 1.

Correct

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Correct

Pretty much this season just making the playoffs means very little in terms of team accomplishment . If you make it to the round of 16 or first round; that's the equivalent of making the playoffs in a normal season. If you miss it; its equivalent of barely missing it in a normal season. Calling it playoffs/not playoffs is really just semantics that is not worth arguing about.
