In this, tie. In the Art Ross, I think McDavid might have a step on him.

Although I have no idea how long either player had been out there so 'Soupy' might have been at the end of his shift.

Miles Wood has the fastest straight line speed in the league, fun fact

though sometimes he forgets to stop

 

[TopChedder]

I think Ilya is pretty much as fast as McDavid.

Makes me also appreciate that McDavid does everything at that same speed lol just a sublime player.

To the bolded - still too close to call. Mikheyev is closing the gap quickly, outscoring McDavid by 1 point per game this month.

With ~31 games to go and being ~33 points behind McDavid - this will come down to the wire if he maintains his rhythm.

I think that was at the end of a shift for McDavid

I would still take McDavid 9/10 in that situation

This is why it is funny when people say McDavid only has speed. The difference between McDavid and other fast players is these guys can only skate this fast in a straight line without the puck. McDavid can carry the puck, change directions on a dime, stickhandle, make great passes ,and have amazing on ice vision at speeds none of these guys could ever do.

Probably was at the end of one of his extended shifts, but Mikheyev does have some wheels.

good on Soupy, there are only a handful of players that could have hung with Connor. Normally it would have been a break away for Connor.

Mikheyev is really fast himself. Probably the one leaf along with Marner I noticed the most whenever I watch

We are well aware, its just that McDavid is so fast that when we see a player not get blown away its thread worthy

They were both 20 seconds into shift

Straightline speed isn't really McDavid's strength so this is sorta whatever.

If I remember correctly, it was the other way around. I think Mik was fresh and McDavid had been on for a bit.

 

[AvroArrow]

Mikheyev won the puck battle, the race was a tie

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

they're no Michael Granbers

This is being hyped up way more than it should be. Official NHL twitter even posted this lol. We all know why tho

I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone say McDavid only has speed. Anyone with a clue knows McDavid speed is elite, but what he can do at that speed with the puck is what makes him generational.

Yes it is...

Mikheyev very clearly. You can watch the video 100 times and hate the Leafs and it does not change the result. Anyone who votes McDavid here is just hating.

 

[CatchyTune]

Mikheyev because he got the puck

What separates McDavid from any other player in the league - except maybe Mack - is that he does all of his little dangles, dekes, handles, and plays at full speed.

It's why he is still, despite these last 3 games, head and shoulders above anyone else.

I have seen it a number of times on this board, although there can be a lot of ridiculous reading on this board at times.

McDavid wasn't even trying and Mikheyev lost the puck 2 seconds later, stupid poll
