Will McDavid reach 100 points?

[Dust]

Marner has accumulated 161 PP minutes, McDavid has 218. Prorated, with his current efficiency, if Marner played 218 minutes, he would be at 19 points vs McDavid's 31.

So you are correct in suggesting that McDavid benefits from extra pp time, but his efficiency absolutely dwarfs Marner's.

Comparing defenceman: Barrie has accumulated 179 minutes and has 22 points. Rielly has played 150 minutes and has 12 points. Once again, prorating Rielly's minutes, he would have 14 points in those 179 minutes.

Point of this is that the reason McDavid and co have so many points on the PP is because they're incredibly efficient.

^^^This, so much this. Putting guys on the powerplay or giving them more PP time doesn't automatically guarantee them points on it. The Oilers have the #1 PP in the league, and they've been in the top 5 pretty consistently throughout this season. Those guys are a big reason as to why.

Also it isn’t totally about efficiency either, McDavid could also have more power play points because he gets more power play time from drawing more penalties.

Since when has being effective on the powerplay been a knock against a player? Just in McDavids case?

 

[Mr Burns]

This guy is unbelievable, he currently plays at a 150 points pace in a full season. I really hope he can reach 140-150 points someday, it would be an incredible accomplishment in this era.

McJesus is quite literally putting together an all-time caliber of a season. Dude is sooo leaps and bounds better than anyone else, it's silly at this point.

 

[Fourier]

pace means nothing to me either. i want to see numbers not what ifs

In his last 82 games played he has 50 goals and 90 assists for 140 points. Can he do this in a single season? A lot would have to go well but I think he could. If you watch him its pretty obvious that he is getting better. In particualr his shot has improved significantly.

 

[Spirit of 67]

100%

 

[avsfan9]

With another 3 tonight. McDavid needs 23 points in his last 11 games.

100 is now visible. Can McDavid pull this off ?

100% yes. He the real deal and is destroying the league. I feel that Myself and many have been trying to come up with excuses why he’s getting so many points but we are witnessing a player that we haven’t seen since Lemieux and Gretzky

 

[Mulletman]

McDavid now has 37+66 =103 points in the last 56 games that he's played. Would be pretty cool to see him end the season with numbers like that! It would easily be better than anything peak Crosby ever did!

 

[Plural]

It's still up in the air. But the odds are in his favor. 7 points in 5 games seems very doable for him.

Would be cool to see him do it. What an absolutely amazing feat would it be.

 

[User9992]

Needs 7 points in 5 remaining games.

 

[King1s]

When people think that 7 points in 5 games is given, it really says something about the player.

 

[hoglund]

100%

wow, you totally jinxed him.

 

[YearsintheWilderness]

It was kind of weird listening to a Sportnet colour commentator on the latest Oilers/Canucks game. He couldn't fathom why anyone, including McDavid himself, would care about McDavid getting to a nice round, impressive number like 100. He just wouldn't shut up about it.

 

[Deplorable Lenny]

but they didnt have secondary assists

What?

Are you serious?

 

[Cup or Bust]

I thought the talk of him scoring a 100 this season was a lot of wishful thinking at the start of the season but it is amazing he is this close.

 

[Beukeboom]

The best thing with McDavid's season, is that all the sceptics will get a better understanding of how superior Gretzky and Lemieux were and how legitimate it was. Their excuse is usually how impossible it is to dominate in today's league. Well...apparently it wasn't? Just takes the right talent.

It’s a combination of player and opponent. McDavid has had no problem producing multiple points a game vs the Canucks. I am confident he will achieve 100 points.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

but they didnt have secondary assists

...what? The hell they didn't. The NHL has had 2nd assists since the 1930's.

 

[Kranix]

He is going to get 100 for sure. 5 games left and he needs 7pts. Easy as cake. He probably hits 100 before the last game of the season.

 

[Andrei79]

Seems more likely than not that he'll get it. This season hes by far the best offensive player I've seen since Lemieux. Crosby was close before the concussions.

Gotta watch out for those sceptics. They smell bad, just like their opinions.

Of all the 1.8ppg or higher seasons McDavid has the second lowest A2/GP rate

[Cup or Bust]

His career PPG scoring is at Bobby Orr level right now.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

He’s might finish around 105 even

At his current rate he will do it two games from now, and still have time to rest up for a game or two before the playoffs begin.
