Will McDavid reach 100 points?

[Dr Pepper]

Not to make this worse but it was 87 points

Only THREE players with 82 points or more that season

Only eight players hit that mark last season....albeit a shortened one, no doubt.

Also, say what you want about the Art Ross winner that year, but the race we saw on that last day likely won't be equaled for quite some time.

Benn won that year's Art Ross with eight seconds left in his final game of the season.

I'd much rather see that, than have the scoring race already decided like a month before the season ends.

That said, I also hope (and think) McDavid hits 100 this year.

That was a wild day.

 

[Not My Tempo]

Hopefully. Superstars putting up insane point totals is good for the sport.

Some media opinions:

[Barrie22]

At his current season pace of 1.71 points per game he would finish with 98 points. Still a crazy amount of points to think about when the season started.

For reference over a full 82 game season that would be 140 point season. Which would place him at the 25th best season point wise in nhl history. And only the 10th player to ever reach 140 or more points in a season.

 

[Perfect_Drug]

Kucherov hit 100 points in 62 games.
Mario did it in 61 games back in 97.



Gretzky has the record with 100 points in 34 games.

 

[Gabe Kupari]

He plays the Jets a couple more times so yes he will.

 

[LarKing]

21 points ahead of the next guy not on his team. Insanity. Can’t wait to watch him in the playoffs.

Some of Gretz's records are so insane they don't sound real.

It always amazes me to know that he has more assists than the next closest guy has points.

 

[Habsfunk]

Gretzky has the record with 100 points in 34 games.

But he didn't backcheck, so I'd take Toews over him.

I hope McDavid reaches 100. He's been the best player in the league for a few years, but a few others were in the conversation. This season it's not even debatable. He is putting up a historic season and as a hockey fan, it's great to watch his highlights. His explosiveness is on another level.

What a slouch.
1 game short of 3PPG.

 

[Cup or Bust]

I think it would be great if he did, but even if he doesn't, it is still an amazing season.

Yeah but that's completely irrelevant to the NHL today. Lemieux in 1997 atleast put that up in a lower scoring environment than today when the league had evolved defensively and goalies didn't look helpless.

 

[11Messier]

If he and his teammates didn't keep missing empty net goals when the opposition pulls their goalies, he would almost be there already. It's going to be close. It all depends how bad he wants it. There is a trade off putting that much energy and risk going for 100 and getting your body ready for the playoffs. My guess is he will start to coast at around 5 games remaining so if he is around 95 points with 5 games left, he will go for it, if not, he's just going to let it go and what ever happens, happens.

also 21 points ahead of any other player in the NHL.

McDavid is as far ahead of 3rd (MacKinnon, 60 points) as 3rd is ahead of 43rd (8 players tied at 39 points)

 

[alphahelix]

also 21 points ahead of any other player in the NHL.

... are you saying Draisaitl quit the NHL?

 

[Duffalufagus]

It always amazes me to know that he has more assists than the next closest guy has points.

And the most goals.

 

[McDNicks17]

21 points in 8.5 games against Winnipeg now.

 

[Nsjohnson]

Two points so far tonight.

 

[Snipes45]

 

[McOvechking]

84.

 

[Akrapovince]

16 in 9, very doable.

Again, still waiting for another huge 5-6 point game from him. He’s within striking distance boys.

 

[Mr Positive]

Connor wants to get to 100 as quickly as possible so the coach doesn't feel bad for resting him in the last couple games
