Mcdavid, Ovi, or current stars in the clutch and grab era?

[Sidney the Kidney]

Wayne was also ages 35-39 in the clutch and grab era and him.falling off is back to back 90+ point seasons at 37-38.

I was gonna say ... I'm pretty sure age and wear and tear on the body had more to do with Gretzky's stats going down than the era itself.

The guy finished with over 90 points as a 37 year old when guys in their prime like Forsberg were producing roughly the same number of points.

-Faster then this? Dont think so

Yep, he's faster and a better skater in every way.

-Top 10 most electric / fastest players all time

1) Russian Rocket
2) Bobby Orr

 

[authentic]

-Because Mcdavid is all about straight line end to end speed, and Ovi has about a rifle for a shot. They are 2 of the best players in the league, but the question was, what would they do in the clutch and grab era. Or other top players in the league in that era.

McDavid can change directions, handle the puck, make plays, stop and start, at top speed better than anyone, including Bure. Only thing Bure compares to McDavid in is acceleration and agility but even then I give McDavid the edge.

Guy makes a video, realizes McDavid is god.

-Wayne stats fell off a cliff in the clutch and grab era. How would todays stars do in this era, could they do this? Mcdavid doesnt have Russian Rocket speed, what would Mcdavid do?

, McDavid is faster, has better acceleration, has better hockey IQ , is a faster stickhandler... should I just keep going. Bure had better in close dekes. Thats it. McDavid is everything Bure was except faster.

and for Gretzky, He didn't fall of a cliff. He was top 3 in scoring in his second last season in the NHL in the dead puck era. He lost a bit when Suter hit him and he aged.

-Except lost the league vote and fan vote to the Rocket

McDavid is everything Bure was , AND faster

McDavid fanboys need to chill and open up the hockey history books. Many great skaters there in more than 100 years worth of hockey.

Although a great player, there is nothing about him we've never seen before.

-Ive yet to see a video that puts Mcdavid anywhere near the Rocket. Still waiting

-Faster then this? Dont think so

Yes, lainec.

 

[Oilers Propagandist]

-No way. 2 types of speed. Top end, and acceleration. No one had faster acceleration and change of direction then the rocket

Connor McDavid is King..remember he just turned 21. This is frightening.

They are easy to find.

 

[North Cole]

Yes, lainec.

Oh My f***ing god. This needs to not become a thing. Would you be offended if I started a GoFundMe to buy a Gibbet and set it up downtown?

-This is all straight line speed breakaway. None of this shows acceleration and change of direction like the Rocket.

If Bure was a career leaf or Canadian or a team with that size fanbase this place would implode over this arguement. The fact that his prime years were Vancouver he is never going to get a backing over McJesus

 

[Future GOAT]

McDavid is faster than Bure. Decent troll thread though. I could probably give it a 6/10. It'll flame some people.

-Well, the only people even defending it are Oilers fans. Maybe in our lifetime the Oilers will make the playoffs again

-This thread turned into a Mcdavid hype thread. Mcdavid better then Crosby now?

I think seeing Ovi in the dead puck would be awesome. Think of all the times Peter Forsberg scored with someone dangling from his back and now multiply that by 2 because Ovi's a much better goalscorer.
