It can't be just format when no one else is even close. Every division has 3 or 4 teams I am sure McDavid could do just as much damage against so I really can't see a good reason to discredit what he is doing. Could he be scoring potentially less in a normal season? That is very possible, but there is really nothing factual to base that on, certainly nothing to suggest a significant difference. He has just improved as a player, even last season he did. I was expecting at least 130 point season this year regardless of the format.
