Will McDavid reach 100 points?

[CycloneSweep]

16 in 9, very doable.

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

He can take a whole night off and only need to have 8 2 point nights.

 

[CpatainCanuck]

For the first time McDavid's current ppg pace (1.79ppg) is more than what he requires in the remaining games to reach 100 points (1.77ppg in his last 9 games).

 

[Akrapovince]

He can take a whole night off and only need to have 8 2 point nights.

A whole night off meaning a guaranteed assist? It’s starting to be a joke at this point how McConsistent he is.

 

[The National]

These guys have him at 99 pace now, he won’t miss by one.

84/47 * 56 = 100.085

On pace for 100 points now!

Connor McDavid is on pace for 100 points

I say he does it

This should be a marketing strategy the NHL can hit a home run with. The quest for 100 points... NHL should start to redirect some useless games broadcasts to tune in to McDavids last few games to see if he can do this.

Instead they’ll redirect broadcasts to Leafs shit probably.

No, they'll redirect to Chicago games to advertise the white dwarf that the Blackhawks have become

 

[The Panther]

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.

Suggestion: Stop making yourself look small.

Typically classy quote from Gretzky:

“What he’s doing,” Gretzky warned, “I hope all the fans in Edmonton are really enjoying, really appreciating, watching this player. I hope people just sit back and realize that is really unique. Something we may never see again. He does things that I have never seen any other player ever do."

 

[DrDangles]

With the way the Canucks look right now I fully expect Mcdavid to put up 20 points in the 5 games they play.

James Mirtle pfft
I knew this was going to happen way back in January lol

I'll say McDavid not only runs away with the Art Ross gets 100+ points doing it. Penguins and Flyers will have a first round playoff series. And a team everyone left for dead will finish on a 15-2-2 tear to end the season and just narrowly make the playoffs.

But I was way wrong about the Flyers and a team roaring back into the playoff picture

Matthews quest for 40 goals

MVP Auston !

Yeah. Well he is having a great season for sure. That said I want to see if he can actually win a rocket in a full season. lol.

 

[Snipes45]

This entire year is an asterisk, but I do know McDavid would be at this pace anyways against all the other teams. Maybe a tad less.

McDavid has proven it in full seasons already. I'm sure there aren't many doubters left outside the standard, "I hate EDM so I hate McDavid" stuff. But they don't count. lol

I honestly think mcdavid wants to hit 100 points this season.

Idk, I think he’s content with 81.

 

[silkyjohnson50]

Lol at Gretzky. When you leave Mario and Orr in the dust you know it’s silly.

What was he pacing last season? 120ish? And this season? 150ish? He’s never really scored at a pace like this before.

This season is the outlier thus far. I mean, he’s only traveling between BC and Quebec for 2 or 3 game series against 6 teams, only 2 of which I’d consider safe bets as playoff teams. One of the hardest parts about producing in the NHL is the scheduling, travel, and the 82 game grind. Couple all that with being an all star that is targeted every game and it’s the most brutal pro league to play in.

I’ll happily eat crow on this one if he can prove people like me wrong. As far as entertainment value goes he’s right up there with Bure and peak Ovi for me, probably already in my top 10 favourite players. But until he does this during a normal season, I’m not convinced this is the norm for him.

 

[illpucks]

What if he hits 112 pts?

isn't that several time zones travelled repeatedly? does any other division have to do that?

Just think. If a guy is scoring at 120 point pace at age 21/22 etc. What do you think he's going to do at 23 24 25....26 etc.

He was pacing for 124 points last year BUT he was coming off a major, major injury where he didn't get to skate normally for basically the entire off-season.

It's also not uncommon for players to take a massive step forward around age 24/25.

Leon Draisaitl went from a 77 point player to a 100+ point player to 120+ point player. MacKinnon went from back to back 52/53 point seasons to 97/99 points. Kucherov went from a 65 point ish guy to 85 points to 100 points then 128 points.

People were kidding themselves if they thought McDavid didn't have another gear to hit.

The other thing that's not being factored in is this is the first time McDavid or Draisaitl have really had offensive producing D to join them. Barrie and Nurse are both top 10 in D scoring, every one of the other scorers has always had the luxury of a 50-60+ point D, Reilly in Toronto, Hedman in Tampa, Letang in Pittsburgh, etc. etc. It makes it a lot freaking easier to score when your D is actually a threat and can move the puck out of the zone more quickly.
