How can McDavid pass Malkin all time?

[Cup or Bust]

If he doesn't do better than 3rd on his team in playoff scoring it should.

McDavid has not played many playoff games yet, so his playoff performance is pretty irrelevant at this point. Even Crosby had a playoff where he only scored 1 goal in 13 games. Crosby never lead his team in playoff scoring in any of their cup wins, so being on a good team matters as well. No one wins a cup alone.

-Eh, Crosby is so far ahead of everyone else in playoff points for all active players its silly. He has at least 60 or more points over every single active player in the entire NHL not named Malkin. Basically, Crosby has slaughtered everyone in the playoffs.

The point is you cant determine a players playoff effectiveness for their career based on 13 games.

 

[daver]

Stanley cup 1 - 2008 - Malkin 36 points, Crosby 31.
Stanley cup 2 - 2016 - Kessel 22 points, Crosby 19
Stanley cup 3 - 2017 - Malkin 28 points, Crosby 27 points.

He has never lead his team in points when winning the cup.

in 2014

Crosby had 9 points in 13 games
Malkin had 14 in 13, Jokinen had 10 in 13.

Maybe you should stop going off small ****ing sample sizes.

McDavid is going to have compliment whatever he does in the regular season with good playoff performances. Cherrypicking one of Crosby's playoff runs to excuse mediocre playoff runs is not going to cut it.

And McDavid's playoff resume consists of 13 games, it's not a f***ing sample; regular season performances don't mean shit when evaluating someone's playoff resume.

See Joe Thornton, Marcel Dionne.

If it stays irrelevant, then he should not necessarily pass Malkin based on regular season accomplishments, that was the point.

Seriously Daver Crosby is my favorite player but you are annoying af. There is a lot of good arguments to say that McDavid > Crosby but your almightiness knows better so you have to treat people like crap with your same stupid arguments over and over.

zzzzzz

hahah Daaaaaaaamn, not even Crosby fans are on his side.

I wonder why.......

 

[North Cole]

he just played back to back 82 game seasons and 13 playoff games without missing any time... what are you talking about?

He's insinuating that malkin is made of glass. He means, McDavid can be better by being healthy because malkin never is
Imo malkin does not miss so many games that it effects his legacy, but he seems to miss a few each year.

 

[GodEmperor]

Be healthy and consistent, Malkin didn't really reach his potential tbh.

-Explain.... Every generational player post 1990 has had injury problems outside Ovechkin and Lidstrom.

-If 3 Stanley Cups at 31 isnt reaching potential, what is

McDavid is 21 and already has an MVP under his belt, 2 MOPs, 2 scoring titles, 2 100+ point seasons, and the best part? He’s just warming up.

Keep bringing up his 1 playoff preformance as a negative (in which his team won a series btw) because it’s all you have for the time being.

 

[Cup or Bust]

He has only played 2 full seasons in the league and is only 21 years old. Neither Crosby or Malkin without each other would have had any playoff success on the Oilers as with the roster they currently have, so it is irrelevant at this point.

Winning 3 cups means ****. You just have to win 1. Once that cup is out of the way then it's all about the numbers. Multiple cup wins is more about being with a great team.

See Joe Thornton, Marcel Dionne.

Mcdavid already has as many Art Rosses as Dionne and Thornton combined.

If Mcdavid never wins a cup but finishes with like 8 Art Rosses he will be up there with Gretzky and Mario.

 

[tapi]

He already passed Malkin in my books, the level of play is just on another level.

MARCEL DIONNE AND JOE THORNTON PLAYED MORE THAN 13 GAMES.

13 GAMES IS A SMALL SAMPLE SIZE.

Wait sorry. You don’t understand what a sample size is. I keep forgetting that.

Guys, for months I’ve tried explaining to this guy why 13 games isn’t much of a sample size, MONTHS.

His 13 games is a sample size of what? His hypothetical playoff career? I am sure that it will be if he has a long career.

This doesn't mean he couldn't have a Dionne/Thornton type of playoff legacy does it? And if he does, that should certainly be held against him in a comparison of the two.

 

[Sniper99]

Change teams & win some cups....

I Would love to read your trade offers. I've got the popcorn ready.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

The NHL Top 100 voters have checked all the necessary passports, and determined that McDavid's career has already surpassed Malkin's.

 

[Chain Attack]

Honestly, all McDavid needs is time and health. That’s not a knock on Malkin either. McDavid is just that good.
