My god, who comes up with this stuff? It's not even just Makar, it's just such a random selection of players when no one would take anyone that wasn't Crosby/Ovechkin. Don't even bother throwing McDavid in to make it interesting.
I agree, but is their current age a factor? Ovechkin in 35 this September. MacKinnon will be 25. Ovechkin will end up with the better career, we know this, but do you take 5ish years of Ovechkin or 15 of MacKinnon?
I dunno maybe we look at things differently but it's nobodys fault that the Leafs played 7/8ths of the season and it was stopped is it?
It's only obscure in the sense that it's unusual, there was nothing really different abut the 70 games (out of the possible 70 that the Leafs played) than any other regular season.
Mathews playoff resume is actually pretty good when you put it into context as well, 2 series against Boston who are stingy in the playoffs and then another against the eventual SC champs in Washington.
The guy is a stud plain and simple and still getting better.
I agree, I am a Leaf fan, so I was impressed with him for sure. I just would have liked to see him break Vaive's team record and then carry the team in the playoffs.
