McDavid becomes the 4th player in NHL history to record 100 assists in a season (mod warning post #50)

100 assists doesnt seem all that difficult. Joe Thornton just about did it too.

lol, this has to be satire.

Stat-padding in a 8-1 game in game 80. Love it, greatest of all-time.

You mean like Matthews padding his goals total early in the season and then slowly but surely disappear as the playoffs approach?

Eh, have to have that ruthless killer instinct....

Gretzky had it.


Great playmaking season from him. I really like how good he's become at controlling the play and dictating things. He's much more than just a fast player at this point. He's pretty much the complete package offensively if he can get his goal scoring back to a higher level.

 

[KCC]

Right?



Oh no, the team got a misconduct penalty, or delay of game, or whatever.


The game has been finished for 35 minutes already, and there's still 20 left to play.

Who the hell cares if the team got penalized?


Get on the ice and celebrate a very special moment.

Maybe Tampa will do it if kucherov gets it in his final game. Lol

"just about"
if it weren't that difficult, more than 4 (soon 5) players in the history of the league would have done it

yeah but he didn't.

 

[Cup or Bust]

100 assists is an amazing accomplishment. 3rd all time points per game, 3rd all time assists per game, averaging over an assist per game in his career, 64 goals and 153 points last season, will be the 3rd fastest player in NHL history to score 1,000 points. Best player on the planet having one of the greatest careers in NHL history.

 

[Video Nasty]

Glad he got there first. Clearly meant to be.

 

[lopper]

McDavid keeps on racking up points and doing almost superhero things each season. Just needs to add a cup and he has to be considered Top 5 all time

 

[Stephen]

Lol would you say the same if Matthews scores #70 in an 8-1 game?

I’d love a stats padding game from Matthews vs Florida. If it’s 8-1 I hope he’s closer to 76 than 70…

lol, this has to be satire.

it is coming from a clown.

some people it doesn't matter what the Oilers do....this is one of them.

 

[Oilslick941611]

he's just as likely to score a hat trick than one goal so who knows.

take 'em where you can get 'em.

Joe Thornton was one of the best passers/playmakers in the history of the NHL.

He's essentially never done it before.

Almost every single goal scored this year was when the team was between -2 and +1 goal differential in the game.


Still, I don't think a player should be shamed for getting points/goals against whoever is up against them.

The teams play against whoever is on the ice and if that means they score a lot, then so be it.

The NHL doesn't like it? Then they should do something to prevent this kind of pathetic showing by so many teams this year.

 

[LeafsNation149]

Probably because it was 9-1.

Who cares they’re not celebrating the goal they’re celebrating a milestone.

Obv the coach did idk lol

 

[Stephen]

You never say no to a party game. You just worry about the hangover that sometimes follows.

 

[T REX]

Congrats to McDavid.

Huge. Epic. Hundo

If you are talking about any other current player, you're in the wrong thread(from a Bolts fan).

 

[Praetorian Caps]

Orr, Gretzky and Lemieux is pretty elite company to keep. McDavid is an all time great.

 

[Goose]

What are you talking about? How can you "pad" goal totals early in the season?

 

[Nathaniel Skywalker]

Surprised the oilers are still playing mc and drai. Probably time to close up shop and rest for the playoffs.

 

[rogking65]

That was great to see.

I can honestly say I'm very disappointed in the organization for not making a big deal out of it.

f*** it, take a delay of game penalty, the team is up 9-1, if you have to.



He's truly this generation's best offensive player by a comfortable margin.

how do you define comfortable margin ? I would say more like a small margin

 

[Bank Shot]

Looking forward to seeing Matthews and Kucherov sit the rest of the season.
