This is one of the best Art Ross/Rocket Richard races in a long time

[Alexander the Gr8]

I was really hoping him and Laine would share it this year but Laine decided to get cold.

Ovi, Laine, Malkin, McDavid, Staal and Seguin, all these guys went cold the minute they hit 40.
New curse of the 40 goal scorer?

 

[Sam Spade]

Well they arent back to back. Just 2 games. And what else do they have to do during those games except pass to ovechkin?

My bad, misread schedule. It's Malkin who finishes with the back to back.

 

[Hockey Crazy]

Umm no. He hit a post, he setup Draisaitl to hit a post, he set up Draisaitl on cross ice pass that just missed the net, and he was attacking all night like usual. Puck just didn't go in for him tonight. It happens.

Your team is bad

Is there a Hart winner on that list?

 

[Hynh]

The Art Ross Trophy is the new Clarence Campbell/Prince of Wales trophy. No one wants to touch it.

 

[nightfighter]

This has turned into a crawl to the finish line. Hoping for some big nights from everyone in the last couple of games to make it interesting.

 

[Firsov99]

47 for Ovie! Just 3 more to go. And Kuzya gets his 80th point as well.

 

[Beukeboom]

So I have been reading all over how Ovie is injured and won't play. That doesn't seem to be a problem for a goalscorer like him. Scores from the pressbox .

Is this a trophy chase thing or do you guys think he is completely fine? Seems like something that can bite him in the ass if he under performs in the playoffs.

If he weren't fine, he would not have played to chase another Maurice Richard. He has plenty of those. He just doesn't have the most important trophy yet.

He can camp in his office while his team feeds him and let him sling it.

106 easy and stress free points for McDavid

 

[hockeyguy1967]

Your team is bad

1967

 

[PatrikOverAuston]

Well, if there was any doubt, McD puts the Art Ross race away with 3 assists (and counting) against Vegas. 106 points with a game and a bit to go.

 

[Todd Parchment]

Oilers fans around the world are lucky to have him on their team and hockey fans around the globe are lucky to witness him!!!!

 

[authentic]

106 eh? Not bad.

 

[Sam Spade]

Welp I don't think Malkin's gonna get five, and Karlsson probably won't get four in game 82, so it's down to Laine and Ovechkin for the Rocket.

Laine has the Flames, Ovechkin has the Devils (if either of them play).

 

[phrenssoa]

McDavid is such a joy to watch.

Just mesmerizing every time he steps on the ice.

 

[karnige]

Im hoping he can hit 110.

 

[hockeyguy1967]

Be cool to see him hit 110 but because it is the Sedins last game I think the Nucks will play hard to get them that win.

 

[Coffey]

Be cool to see him hit 110 but because it is the Sedins last game I think the Nucks will play hard to get them that win.

It’s almost surreal to know this will be the last game they cycle for 40 mins on us.

 

[Hynh]

On a related note, McDavid hit 83 even strength points, tying Henrik for the most in a single season since 2000-01
