Teams with multiple 100-point scorers that missed the playoffs

[Lemontree]

Imagine having two 100 point “centers” yet never being able to ice 2 capable scoring lines.

1967

Number of times you blew a call?

 

[Divine]

To be fair, they're only in year 12 of their 100 year rebuild.

Imagine having two 100 point “centers” yet never being able to ice 2 capable scoring lines.

When Drai centers a line, his main linemate is Tobias Reider who has 0 goals this season.

He set a record for most shots without a goal.

 

[Neuf]

Banner?

Penguins went then on to win 2 cups back to back. Not the worst team to be compared to.

Just need to draft a Jagr #5 OA in this draft.

Conversely the Nordiques went on to first first overall three years in a row and wouldn't make the playoffs until 1993.

Do you find it odd that a player who is being touted as a top offensive player in the league is unable to get him a simple tap in at some point of the course of the season?

McDavid and Draisitl are always a threat when they are on the ice. I mean seriously.

But whenever they are off the ice, it is like the Oilers are a different team when they are off the ice.

Maybe they should play on different lines then...

 

[Dbrownss]

Generational incompetence with that managment

 

[Legionnaire]

The good news? The Pens won the next two Cups. So you never know what next season may bring.

 

[Bleedred]

So does this mean they'll win back to back cups in 2020 and 2021?

 

[Bleedred]

Dammit! Beat me to it!

 

[Lemontree]

McDavid has been a threat every time he has touched the ice since he entered the league. He even manages to make Kassian look like a top 6 winger a couple of shifts a game.

We are all eagerly awaiting your third dig at Draisaitl in this thread!

What comment did you have an issue with? Do you disagree that Edmonton has only one capable scoring line?

Perhaps the issue is that an elite offensive centre could help elevate the play of his wingers?

 

[Mr Tadakichi]

Literally the game plan against the Oilers is to load up against McDavid and hope they don't score. Then, once he's gone, it's smooth sailing.

 

[tntkid]

The Oilers are a 2 player team.

McDavid and Draisaitl basically have zero help.

Lol even Sid and Malkin wouldn’t be making the playoffs if their best winger was Alex Chiasson

This is why the Oilers are bad. And we're at the cap to boot with some of our best players on arguably "value" level contracts.... It's embarrassing.

 

[Cellee]

Well 91 and 92 worked out pretty well for the Pens

You are under some misunderstanding that Crosby played with elite Ws most of his career

 

[Super Hans]

RNH is the most disrespected player in the league, both by his fans and other fans.

 

[StevenF1919]

Maybe they should play on different lines then...

Draisaitl is useless when McDavid isn't babysitting him.

 

[Cellee]

Dammit! Beat me to it!

And you both beat me to it!

There’s 10,000 miles of shit between “Crosby’s wingers over time” and “the spare garbage that McDavid/Drai get stuck with”.

What part of “Toby Rieder has 0 goals and noted fourth liner Alex Chiasson is the Oilers best winger” is overly difficult?
